THEME: *PRAY FOR NIGERIA*
MEMORISE
Ezekiel 22:30
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
READ
Ezekiel 22:24-30
Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*When the wicked rules, people mourn.*
MESSAGE
In the last three years, our country has gone from bad to worse. Considering the rising tempo of happenings within the nation, it is clear that war is imminent if nothing is done to reverse the negative present state of things.
According to our text today, when the leaders in a nation are corrupt and wicked before the Lord, we can only expect sorrows.
The Bible says: "When the wicked rules, the people mourn."
Nigeria has been mourning and groaning for some time now, and I think it grew worse since this regime stepped into power. Things have not been the same.
Unemployment, hardships, hunger, and worse still the killings of innocent farmers whose only hope of sustenance is their farm produce calls for serious prayers and fasting.
For a nation whose economy depends largely on agriculture to watch farmers being killed, it shows that the nation is on the verge of collapsing economically and otherwise.
Beloved, we cannot continue to pretend that all is well with our nation. We must all rise up and pray for this country. We need to ask God to step into the affairs of this nation as He had done in history.
Let it be known that He rules in the affairs of men. Daniel 4:17.
People with burden and concerns must arise and weep for Nigeria and our leaders. We need God now more than ever before.
We need to ask God to send mighty angels into the camp of the enemies of God's purpose for Nigeria. God used His angels to judge the enemies of His people in history. Exodus 12:13,23. 2Kings 19:35,
God sent His angels to judge evil leaders in history. Acts 12:23. This is the time for us to call upon our God to answer us by fire.
ACTION STEPS
1. Plead for God's mercy upon Nigeria. Ask God to forgive the sins of all Nigerians and her leaders.
2. Pray that God will remove evil leaders from the throne and replace them with those who will do His will in this nation.
3. Ask God to send His mighty angels to defend the cause of the oppressed and fight for the restoration of Nigeria's glory.
PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Oh God of hosts, deliver Nigeria from the hands of evil men and women and let your counsel concerning us as a nation be established in Jesus' name. Amen.
REMEMBER
*When the wicked rules, people mourn.*

HYMN
A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing :
Our Helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work his woe ;
His craft and power are great,
And armed with cruel hate "
On earth is not his equal.
2
Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be ?
Christ Jesus, it is He !
Lord Sabaoth is His name,
From age to age the same :
And He must win the battle.
3
And though this world, with devils
filled,
Should threaten to undo us:
We will not fear; for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also ;
The body they may kill :
God's truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is for ever.
