Outlines:

You Need To Pray

  Prayer cannot be outsourced. You cannot delegate your prayer quota. God needs to hear from you concerning your needs, the needs of your loved ones and your burdened cry for others. God loves the whole world – Jn. 3:16. He needs faithful intercessors to pray for a worldwide revival and repentance of all men and women – 1 Tim 2: 1-4. Every human being is created in the image of God. One of the main reasons God kept you on this side of eternity after your salvation is so you can be an agent of revival and salvation for Him – Isaiah 56:7; Mark 11: 15-17.

You Can Reign

  God reigns, irrespective of your belief system. We can reign with Him. That is by choice. He has made us joint heirs with Christ. With a robust prayer life, you can foresee and avert natural and man-made disasters or alleviate their consequences – Psalm 2:8-9. Please intercede for the Federal Republic of Nigeria and its leadership – Ezekiel 22:30-31. A robust, consistent and sustained prayer will stay the hand of the destroyer and entrench righteousness in our land.

Conclusion

  Stop looking towards state houses and political leadership for solutions to problems that have spiritual foundations. You can stand in the gap for your family and your nation and secure your well being by praying. The Lord Jesus Christ will grant you the grace to live a victorious prayer life.
