54 independent nations of Africa have been freed from colonialism but still need freedom from poverty, exploitation, tribalism, occult, illiteracy, environmental pollution, gender inequality, corruption, abortion and a host of other sins, as do the remaining 3 territories. Most of all they need spiritual freedom. In the kingdom of God these will not be the issues. Fasting, praying the sword of the Spirit, agreeing, confessing, proclaiming the Word of God over the nations of Africa will bring God’s kingdom on earth. He will fulfil His promise when we pray with faith in our hearts and agreement with Him, His word and with one another.
HIS PROMISE:-
“Africa will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea”
“That at the Name of Yeshua, in Africa, every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Yeshua Messiah is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Hab. 2:14; Phil 2: 10,11
VISION:-
We pray that God may give vision to all believers that every one of the 1,031,402,000 African people is made in the image and likeness of God and therefore must be restored by coming to the saving knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2:4
Lord, manifest yourself through dreams and visions to all the people of Africa and show:
-
that you are the way, the truth and life and no one can go to the Father except through you. John 14:6
that if African believers will not have vision for Africa then all Africans will perish. Prov. 29:18
that like Habakkuk we may write down the vision and run with it. Habakkuk 2:1-3
STRATEGY:-
Lord we ask you to:
-
give the most effective and productive strategy to all your Image Bearers so you can open the eyes of the lost people, take them out from darkness into your marvellous light, from the kingdom of Satan into your kingdom, in order that they may have inheritance among your saints. Acts 26:17,18
let all the believers, the Image Bearers of Africa, adopt the 3746 people groups living in a million cities, villages and shanty towns of Africa and go and make disciples, baptize, break bread and plant the kingdom in the hearts of those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. Math. 4:16; 28:18-20; Joel 3:12
That all your Image Bearers will seek your kingdom first and then only other things. Matt. 6:33
BREAKING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS OF THE NATION:-
Lord we pray:
-
that the Holy Spirit may empower every believer to cast down every argument and every high thing in Africa that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5.
that every believer will endeavour to be fruitful, multiply, possess his inheritance, subdue it and have dominion over it and ensure that the sceptre of the wicked will not remain over Africa, because it is a land allotted to the righteous. Genesis 1:28; Psalm 2:8; 125:3; Acts 26:18
LABOURERS:-
Lord, the harvest in Africa is truly plentiful, but the labourers are few.
We pray to the Lord of the harvest:
-
to send out labourers into the harvest. Matt. 9:37,38.
that every believer will be a fisher of men and his bag will be full of fish caught from among his/her friends, neighbours, colleagues and workmates to expedite the coming of Christ. Matt. 4:19; 24:14
that the churches may conduct culture specific training programs on sound doctrine for their congregations on how to convict and convince people of other faiths. Titus 1:9
that every believer may know his right to cast out demons and to heal the sick. Mark 16:17,18
INTERCESSORS:-
Lord we pray:
-
for a cloud of patient, persistent, passionate and purpose oriented intercessors who will stand in the gap in the nation and earnestly pray kingdom prayers. Ezekiel 22:30; Luke 18:1
for open doors for the gospel to make manifest the mystery of Christ in Africa. Col 4:2-5;
that believers will use your Name, the Word, Holy Spirit, your Blood and their testimony as weapons to destroy the works of the Devil. 1John 3:8; Mark 16:17, Acts 4:12; Matt. 12:28,29; Rev. 12:11
Let there be no place in the city where the Prayer Walkers have not demolished the strongholds of the strongman and crushed the head of the serpent. 1 Tim. 2:8, Math. 12:28,29; Joshua 1:3; Rom. 16:20
ELDERS:-
We pray:
-
that the elders of the churches will be people of character and integrity, husbands of one wife, whose children walk in faith; that they will be hospitable and good stewards of God’s resources and sound in doctrine, who know how to answer those who contradict. Tim. 1:5-9
that they may dismantle traditions and model a lifestyle for all believers of making disciples and planting the kingdom in the hearts of people where Christ has not been named. Rom. 15:19,20
that they may not delay repentance and baptism whenever a sinner is ready for the harvest. John 4:35
that they may equip, empower and send every believer to exercise his God-given authority to contend with Satan and impose Godly governance in their homes, neighbourhood, workplace and the city.
POLITICAL LEADERS:-
We pray:
-
for Presidents, Prime ministers, for Members of Parliament, Chief ministers, leaders of political parties, administrators, chiefs, police and all those who have rule and authority over Africans; we offer supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings, for all men/women in high places so that all may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. For this is good and acceptable in your sight, whose will is that all may come to the knowledge of truth and be saved.” Lord give us the courage and the wisdom and the power to share the truth with them. 1Tim. 2:1-4
RESOURCES:-
Dear Father thank you for making all grace abound toward us that we have all sufficiency in all things for the abundance of every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8
God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that works within us. Ephesians 3:20;
Lord open our homes as Houses of Prayer, not only for Christians but for ALL nations. Mark 11:17
FRUITFULLNESS:-
Lord we pray that there will be no barren believers in Africa but everyone will be loaded with fruit. Isa. 54:1-3
Lord we know that you have chosen and ordained us to bring lasting fruit. John 15:16
Lord your name is glorified when your disciples make abundant disciples. John 15:8
Lord we know that those who abide in you are guaranteed fruitfulness. As soon as the Samaritan woman got connected with you, she started fruiting within the hour. John 15:5
Lord we know that just like a tree, judgment depends on fruitfulness. Matt. 7:16,20
THY KINGDOM TO COME WITH FORCE IN AFRICA:-
Lord we pray:
-
that Africa may be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14
that every knee in Africa shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Yeshua is Lord. Philip. 2:9-11
that Africa will soon become the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ. Rev. 11:15
