Prayer Guide For The Month Of December 2013

INTERCESSORS FOR NIGERIA

12 NIGHTS OF PROPHETIC WATCH

(Friday 20th ? Tuesday 31st December, 2013)

To all IFN members and partners ?

Dearly beloved,

I bring you greetings in the matchless name of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

The forth-coming New Year, 2014 is so pivotal and critical that the least we can do as Intercessors is to adequately come into it in the Spirit.

As you may know, 2014 is Nigeria?s year of Centenary celebration. Therefore, it presents us, the church the golden opportunity of properly laying the Spiritual foundation for Nigeria?s next one hundred years of existence. This entails a lot of hardwork.

 

Again, 2014 is likely to be the year when the much talked-about National Dialogue will hold. This matter is already heating up the polity with many being for it and others opposed to it. This also leaves us with a lot of responsibilities as the church; we must seek God to know the right positions to take and to midwife the entire process in prayers.

 

Similarly, 2014 coming before the dreaded 2015 will no doubt be a critical year of political campaign and elections in many quarters.

 

Viewed against this background and in addition to the unabating security challenges in the nation, these 12 nights of Prophetic Watch have been declared to enable us lay a prayer siege for the New Year. The understanding is that each night watch will be a seed for every month of 2014.

 

The prayer programme, which will be observed by all Intercessors for Nigeria members and partners, will hold from the 20th Dec. to the 31st Dec. 2013. Each night watch will last from 12midnight to 3am.

 

It can be observed at family levels, prayer cell levels, houses of prayer levels etc.

 

I direct that brethren should endeavour to gather together at the various houses of prayer platforms to summarize it on the last night being the 31st of December 2013.

 

Coordinators at all levels are advised to encourage all to be faithful and committed to this prayer programme.
