PREVAILING PRAYERS FOR NATIONAL DELIVERANCE.
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Ezekiel 11:1-4
[1]Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.[2]Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:[3]Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.[4]Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man."
Jeremiah 29:7 "And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace."
The place of faith and prayers in nation building cannot be overemphasised . When the foundation upon which a nation was build is faulty that nation will not know peace until the constitutional provisions for the cooperate existence of each citizen reflects fairness , equity and justice .
It requires the services of God:s people to rightly draft a workable document as the constitution . Failure to do so will result in ungodly governance with evil principalities and powers influencing those in power . This will result in insecurity and deaths , that was the state of the nation in prophet Ezekiel's time. The Bible says in Ezekiel 11:6 "Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain."
These principalities operate through persons and God will do nothing if there is no one to intercede . Intercession involves contending in deliverance prayer in righteous judgement against those persons holding the nation through diabolic means.
When Ezekiel prophesied , there was instant judgment against the agents of darkness that have help the nation bound in stagnation .
Ezekiel numbered 25 men. In every nation there are 25 individuals that constitute a cabal which Satan uses to oppress God's people , they operate through religious leaders , the media , military and other security agencies , the academia , family heads and community leaders .
Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven so believers are supposed to bind the plans of these persons from coming to pass. Pray in tongues while quoting scriptures such as ( Psalm 125;3, Psalm 94:20-23, psalm 140;8-13, Ezekiel 21:26-27)
Never underestimate the power of your prayers. Make a commitment to recruit new persons into this army of intercessors .This was how some of the great nations were formed .Prayers results in an increase in trade and enterprise and integrity which creates the necessary environment for prosperity and national development.
Like the prophet Isaiah we should say Isaiah 62:1 "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 the lamp the burneth "
The church in Nigeria will not know peace until Nigeria is known for righteousness.
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins , I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation , I receive as lord and saviour and receiver he Holy Ghost and power for prevailing prayer .
