About 90% of martyrs worldwide last year died in Nigeria. Violence against Christians at the hands of Muslim extremists and Fulani herdsmen in the West African country has been brutal. But hope may be on the horizon. On Saturday, Nigerians gathered at the polls to vote for a new president. Let's pray for God to put in place a leader who will bring about an end to the slaughter.
Lord, change the tide of violence in Nigeria. There have already been reports of violence, intimidation and irregularities surrounding the voting process, so we ask You, Lord, to bring forth the results You desire. For Your way is perfect, and You are All-Powerful. No act of man or demon can hold back Your will. We ask You to raise up a leader who will not cower or engage in corruption; who will care for the citizens and protect Christians and others from terrorism, abductions, slaughter and the burning of their villages and churches. Make a way for persecutors who have stolen, killed and destroyed far too long to finally be stopped, brought to justice and their weapons confiscated.
In this most deadliest place in the world for Christians, we speak, "LIFE, in the name of Jesus!" now. Protect the innocent. Bring every persecutor to their knees before You, as You did Paul, and show them who You are. Haunt their dreams, visit them throughout the day, topple the lies they believe with Truth, and show Yourself strong on behalf of victims in such miraculous ways that every violent offender will tremble in fear, drop their weapons and fists, and repent, surrendering to Your love and salvation.
Be a Shield around every believer, guarding them and their families from harm. Empower them by Your Spirit to speak Truth and act in love, joy, peace, forgiveness and faith, with a demonstration of Your power, as You perform miracles and wonders in the sight of their persecutors and leave crowds in awe of You. Heal the sick, the lame, the wounded, the blind. Raise the dead to life. When guns or other weapons are aimed at Christians, cause them to misfire and drop to the ground. When fists or feet are lifted to beat or kick a believer, freeze them in place so the persecutor is unable to move and must ask the Christian to pray for them first before they are freed. Send shockingly visible angels to surround every believer and step in front of them, blocking enemy attacks. Turn every curse spoken against a Christian into a blessing instead, and bring such disaster upon persecutors that they know beyond any doubt You are the One who protected that Christian, and that only in surrender to You will they find Life and peace.
Send in Your armies of Light to bring life where there has been death, peace where there has been war, love where there has been hatred, plenty where there has been drought. Bring this nation to You, O God. Protect the children, and raise up a generation holy unto You of preachers and missionaries who will take Your Good News into every dark corner of Africa and beyond, penetrating the darkness with Light and changing lives forever with Your love.
