DAY 5
PRAYER FOR NIGERIA 2
Begin by singing this song a few times.
Nigeria will flourish again (2ce)
God will heal the land, restore us again.
Nigeria will flourish again.
There is no doubt that issues of corruption in our nation have led to loss of confidence by its citizens at home and abroad. This manifests through the activities of fraudsters, corrupt public officials, mis-governance by our leaders, inefficient contract awards, inadequate enforcement of existing laws, absence of the rule of law and a culture of preferential treatment in the conduct of government business, etc. On the international scene, Nigeria has been blacklisted as a state in which integrity and transparency are alien and where no transaction occurs without ?greasing palms.?
In spite of the various organisations that have been set up to checkmate corruption, little or no success was achieved in the past. However, as new machineries of accountability are currently being put in place, some of these organisations are forced to begin to ?put their houses in order?.
JONAH 3:4-10, EZE 36:26
Start by bringing repentance for all our corrupt practices; from the home front to our educational sector, the Church, our business dealings, etc. Ask God to forgive us and give all Nigerians a change of heart, to be able to embrace integrity.
The fight against corruption must first be won at the personal level before it can be effective on the national level, pray that God would cause every Nigerian to embrace this cause with great commitment and enforce the same wherever they go.
PROV.?14:34
The fight against corruption cannot be driven by institutions that are weak and corruption ridden. Pray that the legal foundations of key government institutions that would drive this vision be laid.
Ask the Lord to stir up the President to overhaul the following Agencies of Government to ensure effective operations. – EFCC, ICPC, Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), INEC, DSS, FEDERAL HIGH COURT, FEDERAL COURTS OF APPEAL, SUPREME COURT OF NIGERIA, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, etc. The reconstruction of these institutions would greatly enhance the fight against corruption.
There is also the need to fight corruption systematically, holistically and in a sustainable manner. Ask that God would give our government the wisdom and right strategies to be able to do this so as to comprehensively deal with corruption. Pray that the Lord would indeed heal Nigeria of corruption and that the healing would be permanent (2 CHRON 7:13-14).
PROV 19:5, 9, PROV 21:15, PROV 29:4
Pray that the anti-corruption war will be fought with sincerity of purpose, for the sustainable development and benefit of the nation.

EXD 23:6, DEUT 10:18, DEUT 16:19, 24:17, 27:19
Pray for the judiciary that honest judges with integrity would emerge. Pray that God who is the judge of all would unseat corrupt judges in our nation.
Pray earnestly that the Church of God in Nigeria would be purged and that she will be in the forefront of the fight against corruption. JOB 29:14, PS 106:3
Ask that the Lord would give the government and people of Nigeria unflinching determination to put an end to the insecurity in the land. NEH. 4:9-13

Pray that the December 2015 deadline declared by the president, as the time to overcome the insurgence and restore peace in the North East, shall be a reality by the grace of God.
PSA 149:6-9, JOB 22:26-28
Decree that all Nigerian borders have become a no go area for wicked human agents; that every attempt they make to enter Nigeria shall utterly fail. Pray that there would be a re-engineering in our immigration service and laws to effectively checkmate illegal migrations.
DAN 6:19-24
Let us ask God to send the same Angel that arrested the ISIS chief cleric as he was about to enter Nigeria on August 15, to come into Nigeria and smoke out his collaborators, cohorts and associates, no matter how highly placed.
The agenda of ISIS is to rule the world by 2020, (five years from now). Ask the LORD of Host to send His strong Angels to halt the advancement of this satanic group and their agenda.
JOB 34:29
Plead with the LORD to end the reign of terror and Boko Haram, militancy, robbery, and kidnappings in Nigeria.
