Day 27 - Pray for Israel

The word of God commands us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem until its righteousness goes forth as brightness and its salvation as a lamp that burns, (Isa. 62:1). Also, we are commanded to pray for Jerusalem with a promise that we shall prosper as we love her (Psa. 122:6), and those who curse her will be cursed by God, (Gen 12:3).

• Ask God to forgive this nation if in any way, Nigeria joined other nations to make decisions that were unfavourable to Israel, (1Jn 1:8, 9; Prov. 28:13 Ps. 51, Ex 33:19).

• Bind the spirit of Judaism (the religion that believes in the Law of Moses rather than Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour) in the lives of the Jews, (Matt 18:8).

• Pray God to give peace to Jerusalem and entire Israel in the midst of Arabs and unbelieving nations that are continually antagonizing her, (Ps. 122:6).

• Pray that Arabs and other unbelieving nations know the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and when they are saved, they love and make peace with Israel, (Is: 19:23-25, Ps. 87:1-3).

• Pray that Nigeria through her foreign policies always express love and support for Israel so that God in turn may bless Nigeria, (Gen 12:3). Also pray that more watchmen pray for Israel day and night, (Is. 62:6-7). Pray that even when all nations gather against her, Jerusalem remains an immovable rock and that all who try to move her get smashed, (Zech 3:12).

• Ask God to raise more support for Israel against threats by Arab nations.
