1. Prayers for Lagos, Nigeria (Page 2)

I would like us to continue prayers from the Impact Team of InTouch (a Christian ministry).  I will post prayers for today through Saturday, July 16, 2011, as I will be travelling.  Please join me in prayer for travelling mercies...in Jesus name, amen.

My brothers and sisters here at 9japals, as the Holy Spirit directs you, please at anytime feel very free to lead us in daily prayers. 


Master God,

We pray that we will listen and act on your ways as we reach out to those in Lagos and in Nigeria who do not yet know you.  Those who have been deceived to believe that you are not helping your people right now, let their eyes be opened in Jesus name.  Let them realize that what they see and/or what they are passing through is NOT too great for you. All it takes is them reaching out to you and accepting the only one that can transform their lives in an instant...Jesus the Christ!  We pray that you grant us favor where ever we go, as we join with those who are also spreading the Good News of the gospel  We ask this in our saviors name, Jesus Christ, amen.


Hebrew 3:13 reads:
Encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

For July 15, 2011
 
In Jesus name Father, we close up any breaches in our life that would give satan and demons access.  We pray that every broken hedge in our life be restored, in Jesus name.  We repent and receive forgiveness for any sin that has opened the door for any spirit to enter and operate in our life..in Jesus name, amen.  Lord, we renounce all crooked speech that would cause a breach in Jesus mighty name. We pray for a hedge of protection around our mind, body, family, friends, finances, and possessions in Jesus wonderful name.  God you alone are our rock and shield...all glory to you for you are worthy to be praised!!!  Thank you heavenly Father for hearing our prayer and for answering our prayer in Jesus name, amen and amen!
 
Hebrew 13:1-2
Continue to love each other with true Christian/brotherly love.  Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!

The booklet "Mean Mama" I just saw for the first time but this one of today...I remember well. 

Heavenly Father,
Let us continue the renewing of ur mind and examine ourselves.  May our desire to serve you with our life remain ever strong, in Jesus name, amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:19-22
Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. Do not scoff at prophecies, but test everything that is said. Hold onto what is good.  Keep away from every kind of evil.

@CammyWhite

You have hit the nail on the head. This is why Nigeria has greatly deteriorated. People dont work hard, dont help each other, dont will good for anyone except.......PRAY GOD will make things better!!!

One day we will get away from this learned helplessness!!!

If I may add please...you are 100% correct, it is mankind, we are not doing our part indeed.  We are suppose to work hard, we are suppose to help each other, we are suppose to will good to each other, we are suppose to be happy for each other's victories/blessings and we are suppose to stand against evil.  God has already done everything that needs to be done and we need to step out and do our part.  Many in Nigeria and abroad are praying...but action is still required.  Faith = action

Faith does not not equal action. Faith by itself does nothing. And that prayer will have not done the slightest bit of good for those suffering in Lagos - "Every plan of the enemy is scattered, spoiled and destroyed" -

RE what you shared..."And that prayer will have not done the slightest bit of good for those suffering in Lagos - "Every plan of the enemy is scattered, spoiled and destroyed"

It ties into faith as well.  Prayer is a mighty weapon and does what needs to be done for those suffering in Lagos who have faith and act on that faith (and there are many).  Again, it takes faith of the person who is suffering to take action, trust God to take care of the problem and not take back into their own hands what they have asked the Lord to handle for them.  This is important.  Since many of us in and ouside of Lagos are sending up prayers to God, those who have faith as small as a mustard seed and step out and act on that faith WILL receive (according to God's will) but for those who are searching and God is working on them and their life...we are standing in the gap for them.  Meaning, they may not have actually surrendered yet (but are close), they may not know exacting what to pray yet and/or they may not know how to pray for their actual situation faithfully...our sending up prayers on their behalf, God still hears and honors and they WILL receive (according to God's will). 

It's like someone putting a million naira in an account for someone who is suffering.  The person now says to the one who is suffering, I have put this million in the bank for you and you can access it at anytime you wish.  The million is their but the person never goes to the bank, and they continue to suffer.  Unfortunately, this is what is happening in Lagos (Nigeria...and so many other places).  Our prayers for those suffering can assist them in getting to where they need to be, with God, which will change their heart and move them to take action.  God has people everywhere in Lagos, Nigeria, etc. and too God can send them to cross the person's path to help them get where they need to be also.  To get the million naira the person still has to GO to the bank and GET it, no one else can get it for them and this will not change.  But prayers of those who trust in God, have faith in God and expect from God... are answered every single day upon numbers.   

I prayed..."Thank you for spoiling the plans of those in Lagos, Nigeria and everywhere whose motives are to hurt innocent people...in Jesus name.  Every plan of the enemy is scattered, spoiled and destroyed...in Jesus name".  Here I thanked God for the people he has helped and saved from the hands of those who seek to hurt innocent people.  But, there are those who are still seeking to hurt innocent people and I prayed that their plans to hurt innocent people be scattered, spoiled and destroyed in Jesus name.

You may waste your time reading Jack Chick drivel, but I won't.

Great God, you alone are the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end.  You alone are truly God and no other compares to you.  No other gives freely and no other is the lover of our souls.  Many have allowed evil to run free in the land, but wish to blame you for it.  We are to blame, mankind...for doing what we are not suppose to do; and not doing what we are suppose to do.  You instruct us through the Bible what not to do so that we don't bring trouble to our life but many are not listening.  You even tell us to choice life and not death but many still choose death.  Heavenly father, forgive us in Jesus name.  Yes, Lord you see all and out of love, you gave us the free will to choose.  Out of love, you gave us the authority to do many wondrous things in your name.  Out of love you gave us power to overcome ALL the power of the enemy.  And out of love we are suppose to be helping those in darkness into the light.  It is rightly said, evil triumphs when good men and women do nothing.  Let your people in Lagos (and everywhere), stand on the boldness that is in them.  Let them take what you have already given to them.  Let them obey your word and stand in the victory that is already there...in Jesus name.  We know that you work everything out for the good of those that love you...we thank you Father God and we forever praise you!!!  Thank you for hearing our prayers and thank you for answering our prayers in Jesus name, amen.   

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
