 BE AMONG THE WATCHMEN TO BIRTH A NEW NAME.

Isaiah 62:1-2,6-7

[1]For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

[2]And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

[6]I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

[7]And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth'

   Jesus Christ taught his disciples to watch and pray (Mk 14:38). This makes  every disciple a watchman . Prayer is not the exclusive of pastors , evangelist , apostles etc. . Every born again christian is expected to know how to pray in the simplest terms . Nigeria was known for spirit inspired  prayers for national reforms in the 80's with likes of Arch. Bishop Prof. Benson Idahosa playing a major role. They prayed for the christian nation more than their personal infinitesimal ministries .

  Prayer is the communication between God and his creators . Everything that has breath prays to God seeking for his will to be done.

In Mathew chapter 8 verse 31  demons prayed to God and he answered there prayers . The Bible says Matthew 8:31 "So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine." The word 'besought:' is the Greek word ' parakaleō it means to call near that is invite ,invoke (by imploration hortation or consolation): - beseech call for (be of good) comfort desire (give) exhort , to pray. In Job Satan came to God to seek permission to afflict Job. Job 2:6 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life..' 

  The two examples mentioned teaches something many Christians do not know about  prayer , which is the act of seeking for the legal grounds to exercise dominion over a thing. Satan took over the garden of Eden from Adam by this principle.

 Eden is the first nation mentioned in the scriptures .  Whenever you travel out of your country or whenever you are communicating with a foreigner ,he or she sees you in the eyes of your country's position in the scale of the international transparency index. Every Christian of Nigerian origin is seen as corrupt even the unborn child . 

   Satan has created a name depicting corruption  for Nigeria legitimately based on the confession of it's citizens . The Jews suffered the same.  Isaiah 62:4 says 'Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married."

  The watchmen are to correct Nigerians every time they call themselves by Satan's name ( Desolate, God forsaken) . They are to call Nigeria by her new name "Isaiah 62:12 'And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.'  That was what prophet Isaiah taught his people to do.

  Israel today is called a Holy land and that nomenclature attracts billions of dollars in investments  to her annually despite her shortcomings ,  same with Saudi Arabia. India recently began calling herself Great India and the results are evident . The God that created those nations did not create any nation less Holy .All nations are equal in God's eyes. 

You will behave like what you are called. Great Britain can testify to this .Nigeria is Holy and great .

Prayer; Heavenly Father, forgive me of my sins against I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation . I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Ghost and power to live in holiness .
