You and I know that there are many divergent prophecies about what this year will be and the outcome of the election, however we have a non- divergent but coherent view of what we want as Nigerians for our beloved nation.

One thing is clear, we all love Nigeria, (It is one place we can truly call home) we all want one Nigeria, we all want Nigeria to be better, peaceful, free from insurgents, we want purposeful leadership, we want jobs for our youth, we do not want Nigerians begging for asylum in various nations, we want our agricultural, oil and gas, education, power sectors developed, we want to be free from corruption and become a developed nation like Canada, Singapore, America and many more. So let us stand in unity in prayer. Motivate people in your domain to pray.

Please pray with an open mind not skewed prayers. Pray that the election will be free. That there will be no bloodshed. Pray that God will give us visionary and purposeful leadership. Remember this election is not only presidential, but governorship, house of rep, senators, house of assembly elections are all very crucial. All these different levels of government count.


1. THE CHURCH

The Church is often relegated to the sidelines, considered irrelevant and out of touch. Though we sometimes deserve that critique, God has a completely different perspective on what His people are to be and how we are to function. In Ephesians 3:10, the Apostle Paul writes, "His [God's] intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known…."
Though seemingly powerless in the eyes of the world, the Church-through righteousness, prayer, and the power of the Holy Spirit-releases the wisdom of God into any and every culture

Pray today for the Church in Nigeria, that:
o Our eyes will be opened to see the hope to which we are called (Eph.1:18).
o We will experience in a fresh, new way the Presence of Christ in revival.
o Believers will be given the faith to believe that their votes will make a difference.
o A spirit of repentance and humility will be poured out upon the people of God.


2. THE VOTERS

This requires an educated electorate who will examine the issues and the candidates and vote in a way that is best for the nation, not just their own well-being. Much prayer is needed for this critical process. This is not the time for Office seekers to be deceiving and making a mockery of our citizenry by introducing stomach in fracture and the voters gullibly eating their destiny in one day like Esau!

Pray today for voters in the Nigeria, that:
o Wisdom will be sought from God (James 1:5).
o Self-interest will be laid aside for the common good.
o Discernment between truth and falsehood will be clear.
o Will reject bribe from office seekers.
o Will not vote based on sentiments of religion, tribe, nepotism, but who can develop the nation


3. THE CANDIDATES

In the early years of our nation, it was thought to be in bad taste to even be seen wanting an office, much less actually campaigning. Oh, how things have changed! Now candidates for public office, especially at higher levels, put themselves and their families through a rigorous process that brings every aspect of their lives into public view. It has become so intense that many good individuals have chosen not to endure the sort of public scrutiny that is an integral part of the campaigning process today.
Praying for candidates does not mean praying just for those you agree with or support. All are leaders and potential leaders in our nation-and as such, all need our prayers.

Pray today for candidates for office in the Nigeria, that:
o They will take brave stands for righteousness, even when it may not be well received.
o Their families will be protected from harm and unnecessary scrutiny.
o They will surround themselves with godly advisors.
o They will focus on the issues we face as a nation and not on personal attacks on other candidates.


4. THE MEDIA

In our day of 24-hour news coverage, the media have taken on a huge role in our election process. Handling media correctly sometimes seems to take precedence in a campaign over actually dealing with issues. The media themselves often forget their role of informing and reporting and have become endorsers and supporters, even while they try to deny that role. Increased prayer for the media is an essential way for Christians to impact an election.

Pray today for the media in Nigeria, that:
o Truth in reporting and election coverage will become a high value.
o Media bias will disappear.
o Christianity will receive fair coverage in all reports.
o Hope will become a part of the message of the media.


5. SPIRITUAL WARFARE SURROUNDING THE ELECTIONS

Nothing is achieved in the Kingdom of God without warfare. That includes the election of righteous individuals to the leadership of one of the key nations on the planet. As we pray, we must expect the enemy to attack in many ways. There will be attacks on candidates and their families, on the media, the Church, and perhaps the nation itself. Some will be clearly spiritual, while other attacks may have physical manifestations. Our call is to have great discernment as we pray and stand in the strength of Christ's victory.

Pray today around the spiritual warfare issues involved in the election, such as:
o Great awareness and discernment for the Lord's praying people as they pray over the election.
o Physical protection for all candidates and their families throughout this campaign season.
o A strong hedge of protection around the nation itself during this time of decision.
o The unleashing of the sword of the Spirit throughout the nation, judging the thoughts and intents of the heart (Heb. 4:12).


6. THE PURPOSE OF GOD

Ultimately, whatever the area of prayer emphasis, we must always come back to the purposes of God. Jesus taught us to pray, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven" (Mt. 6:10). As we pray for something as important as national elections, we must lay down our own desires and take up the desires of God. What we really desire is for the Lord's purposes to be achieved in and through our nation. All of our requests must be couched in words and thoughts that focus our hearts on the Kingdom of God.

Pray today for the purposes of God to be accomplished in the Nigeria elections:
o Pray that the Nigeria will turn and seek first the Kingdom of God.
o Pray that God will be honored in the midst of this election campaign.
o Pray for opportunities for Christians to share their faith and their values in the midst of this election process.
o Pray that the results of the 2015 elections will please the Lord and release His blessing over this nation.


7. DEVELOPMENT OF OUR NATION.

The crux of the matter is whether we were rightly amalgamated in 1914 or not we were amalgamated. The fact is in 1960 we got independence. The fact is that in 1956/57 oil was discovered in Nigeria. The fact is Nigeria is blessed with huge human and mineral resources and crude oil. The fact is Nigeria has not developed. Nigeria has not developed not because we do not have brilliant leaders or energetic leaders, but we lack leaders with integrity. Leaders who will lay their life for the nation. Leaders who will put the interest of the nation above their selfish interest. The fact Nigeria needs to develop and develop fast!

Let us pray that our leaders will develop our nation. All sectors of our nation needs development but POWER and SECURITY [/b]sectors are major and consequently our [b]ECOMOMY. Let us pray that whichever party wins their focus will be to develop Nigeria. May thy Lord help Nigeria. May we not miss this great opportunity again.

**Pray for wisdom to be endowed upon whoever becomes the president for the efficient utilization of the nation’s resources especially the oil. Let us pray that every corruption, injustice and wickedness in high places be brought down and totally destroyed in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. God declares in Proverbs 11:1 “A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.”

**Pray for mercy for the weak, the poor and the orphans who cry for help because our Lord is the Help of the helpless. Psalms 68:5 “A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.”

[size=16pt]JEREMIAH 32:27; BEHOLD, I AM THE LORD, THE GOD OF ALL FLESH: IS THERE ANY THING TOO HARD FOR ME?[/size]

Pray that God, by His mercy, shall liberate us from the politicians using insurgency to torture and to kill thousands in the North and let the Lord of Host arise and fight for our battles in this country; for the battles are not ours but the Lord's

Let the LORD, who is the Commander of the Host of Israel, arise and the enemies of this country planning to cause post-election mayhem, chaos or war should they lose the election BE SCATTERED, EXPOSED AND DISGRACED in the name of Jesus Christ.
