PRAYER FOR OUR NATION.

Preambles: “I EXHORT therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus: Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” 1 Timothy 2:1-6.

Prayer is the most potent power by which we can enforce the will of God for ourselves, others and our nation. As our nation is soon to embark on a general election, only God knows the right people that can lead our nation on the right path. Hence, it is expedient for us as a people to pray for our nation. There is only one mediator between God and man and his name is Jesus Christ our Lord. All of us according to the scriptures have sinned and come short of the glory of God. God have given us a name that is above every other name. That name is Jesus- Philippians 2:9-10. When we pray in the name of Jesus, God is very pleased to hear and answer all our prayer. God wants to pray for all men and for our leaders and all those in authority.
