- Pray for the forthcoming elections in Nigeria. It is good to keep praying for a nation‘s election for at least 2 years before the fact. That way, you pray without the frenzy of campaigns and the attendant pressures and you can hear the Lord much more clearly concerning whom He would have in that office for each season without a party spirit influence.
- Let’s be like Mary who anointed Jesus for his death and burial way before the actual event. While everyone else was scrambling around to do their good deed after He had died, and missed the opportunity because He was risen, she could rest content that she had done her bit on time. Be like the five clever virgins who paid the price of preparation beforehand, so that when the Bride-groom did appear, they entered into their rest while the foolish virgins scrambled around trying to do a hasty last-minute job.
- Let us not be fire-fighters and crisis intercessors. Such an important matter as a nation or region, or constituency leadership should not be taken lightly.
