Scripture: Matthew 12:46-50
Mary and Jesus\’ brothers sought to speak to Jesus. As a disciple announced to Jesus that His family waited outside, Jesus said, “While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, \’Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.\’ But He answered and said to the one who told Him, \’Who is My mother and who are My brothers?\’ And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, \’Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.\’” Christ was not disowning or shunning His natural family. He was explaining a higher truth. And that truth is that doing God\’s Word and obeying His voice counts big-time in our Heavenly Father\’s view of true Family. Eternal Family supersedes our natural family! Both the Old and the New Testament agree on the qualifications for sons and daughters of the King. Obeying the Spirit is proof we are the King\’s children and
guarantees ending the age with the filling of the earth with God\’s glory! Today is Nigeria\’s Democracy Day.
•Nigeria is in God\’s program and so she is the target of the occult for all types of activated demonic altars, violence, kidnapping, confusion, murder, unrest, satanic gang-ups etc. Pray that God will set the occult up as a target for His own arrows.
• Ask the Lord to silence all utterances from such altars with His voice so the Lord will have His way in Nigeria.
• Pray that the powers drawn from the moon by the Islamic marabous in controlling the socio-political-economic affairs of the nation will be confounded (Isa 49:22-26).
•Pray that the Lord will break the backbone of Boko Haram, Armed Herdsmen etc. Ask for dryness of their source of income and confusion in their camp.
