BREAKING SPIRITUAL OPPRESSION OVER THE NATION
By Michael Benson Ajayi
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with great power; and how He went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him” (Acts 10:38, AMP).
This scripture reveals both the source of oppression and the divine answer. Oppression is not merely political, economic, or social—it has spiritual roots. Yet Jesus Christ demonstrated God’s will: to heal, deliver, and restore all who are under the bondage of the enemy. Therefore, believers are called to actively partner with God through prayer to break every satanic influence enforcing oppression over the nation.
Spiritual strongholds can infiltrate governance when leaders yield allegiance to ungodly systems, ideologies, or secret influences that promote corruption, injustice, and violence. Proverbs 29:2 declares, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.” This calls us to intercede for leaders, that every hidden allegiance contrary to God’s righteousness be exposed and destroyed.
Scripture also warns against deceptive spiritual influences within the Church. Like Balaam (Numbers 22–24) and Bar-Jesus (Acts 13:6–12), false prophets can manipulate God’s people and lead them away from truth. Jesus warned in Matthew 7:15 to beware of false prophets who come in sheep’s clothing. Through prayer, we must break their influence and ask God to purify His Church.
In 2 Kings 18–19, Sennacherib’s pride and idolatry led to oppression, yet when the prophet Isaiah declared God’s word, judgment fell, and his reign ended (2 Kings 19:35–37). This shows that prophetic prayer and declaration can dismantle oppressive systems.
Let us pray fervently: tearing down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4–5), declaring freedom for the oppressed (Isaiah 10:27), and releasing healing over the land (2 Chronicles 7:14). As we intercede, may God bring divine freedom, righteous leadership, and spiritual revival to both the nation and the Church.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome poverty.
