Day 24 - The Poor and Under-Privileged in Society

Jesus said "the poor will you always have with you" (Matt. 26:11). But he wants us to be a blessing to them, (Gal. 2:10). Over 70% of Nigerians are classified by United Nations to be living below poverty line (i.e. living on less than $1 per day).

• Repent over the inability of the Nigerian government to meet the needs of the poor.

• Bind the spirit of self-pity, discouragement, laziness, unbelief, doubt, fear, poverty, foolishness, witchcraft, lack, etc. Cast these spirits out from the poor.

• Rebuke principalities and powers and rulers of darkness and other wicked spirits and command them to loose their hold on these oppressed people.

• Pray for God's sustenance for the poor widows, widowers, and orphans in these hard times.

• Pray God to enable the Federal Government come up with definite steps to provide employment opportunities for the poor to ease them out of poverty.

• Pray God to help the Government put in place policies and legislation to take care of handicapped and the aged.
