THE HYMN.
WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD.
1. When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way;
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
CHORUS:
Trust and obey,
For thereβs no other way
_To be happy in Jesus, _
But to trust and obey.
2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss,
Not a frown or a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.
4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or weβll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do;
Where He sends, we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.
π¦ OPENING INTERCESSION NUGGETS:
πΉ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Psalms 122:6.
π 1. Father, thank You for showing mercy on my nation, even from the period when the Coronavirus came into the world till now. Thank You because Nigeria is still standing, in spite of all the pandemic effects of the virus on the people and our economy.
π 2. Father, in any way we have sinned as a Nation thus bringing judgement down upon us, please have mercy on us now, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
π 3. O God, I pray for Jerusalem β that it should arise and become God’s Bethel of Peace that it was created to be, in Jesus’ Name.
π 4. O LORD of hosts, stop the oppression of stronger nations over the less powerful nations. Stop the Russian-Ukranian war and show yourself as the defender of the defenseless, in Jesus’ Name.
π 5. Father, please speak peace unto the nations of the world. Let there be a cessation of chaos or state of anarchy in our world – that more people may come to worship You – in Jesus’ Name.
π 6. Father, please raise godly leaders to take up all the leadership positions in my nation. Let everyone in political offices be God-fearing, by divine command, in Jesusβ Name.
π 7. Father, let us accept your choice of leaders no-matter how unworthy we judge them to be, and cause our hardened hearts to surrender to divine leadership that will restore our unity and productivity as a nation, in Jesus’ Name.
π 8. Liberate the country from the forces of selfish, myopic and ethnic interests, in Jesus’ Name.
π 9. Father, by your fire and power, scatter every evil gathering that prepares to cause evil realities in our post-election Nigeria, in Jesus’ Name.
π 10. Reintroduce love and integrity in your worship places, and rid the country from the hands of evil priests who serve the god of money and only their bellies, in Jesus’ Name.
π 11. Father, prosper God-fearing citizens of my nation so greatly, and bless Nigeria’s polity, that we would begin to lend to other nations within the next 7 years, in Jesus’ Name.
π 12. Father, please calm every storm raging amongst religious creeds, tribes and political affiliations within my nation. Let us all live in love and togetherness as it used to be, in Jesus’ Name.
π 13. Father, please abolish every policy encouraging any form of sexual immorality and other anti-God policies in my nation, in Jesus’ Name.
π 14. My nation will cease to become a comfort zone for sin and demons, in Jesus’ Name.
π 15. Almighty God, the true defender of your creation, Shed Your light all over this nation, and remove from office all lawmakers who had supported the passage of evil bills in Nigeria – this year – in Jesusβ Name.
π 16. Father, amongst other nations in the world, let my nation rise to be the greatest in positive reckoning, in Jesusβ Name.
π 17. Father, please raise great men and women who will shake the world positively, from the midst of the citizens of my nation, in Jesus’ Name.
π 18. When the list of the greatest people in the world is compiled, let majority of them come from my nation, in Jesusβ Name.
π 19. Father, bless the soil of my nation to feed all the living beings. So, let our soil yield great blessings for farmers and feed the entire nation, in Jesus’ Name.
π 20. Now, say your personal prayers for your nation.
π¦ THE PASSAGES:

7. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8. For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

NEW TESTAMENT:
JOHN 10: 7-14
7. Then said Jesus unto them again, βVerily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.β

9. βI am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.β

12. βBut he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.β
13. βThe hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.β
14. βI am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.β
John 10:7-14 KJV.
π¦ THE PROPHETIC UTTERANCE:
I decree and declare that your own independence shall be with the perfect liberty. πΉ
The need for Independence came because people were suffering under the yokes of a higher power.
πΉ Receive the power to possess your dominion, and begin your life of excellence, NOW, in Jesus’ Name.
πΉ πππ§ π§πππ§ WATER π’π AFFLICTION THAT WAS POURED ππ‘π§π’ π¬π’π¨π₯ ππππ, πͺπππ§ππ‘π TO FOIL YOUR πππ¬ π’π π ππ‘ππππ¦π§ππ§ππ’π‘, ππ DRIED π¨π£ ππ‘π EVAPORATE π‘π’πͺ, ππ‘ π§ππ π‘ππ π π’π πππ¦π¨π¦.
π¦ THE WORD OF DELIVERANCE!:
Friends, I bring Jesus’ word of comfort to you in this month of independence…
Sadly, we are all aware that the cost of living is increasing at an alarming rate, while income is decreasing. The crime rate is now very high all over the world. Sudden deaths are all over the place due to suicide, depression, frustration, hardship, banditry, sicknesses, etc. Kidnappers and ritual killers are instilling fear in the hearts of people in Africa. There is no assurance of security, as the youths are becoming directionless with their evil desire for quick money.
Youths form 70% of Nigeria’s Population, but the condition of living is getting worse by the day. Sexual perversion, drugs and alcoholism are on the rise. Many parents can no longer afford school fees, three square meals, good clothing, and accommodation for their families. It is really a sorry stateβ¦ As it is today, only the defender of the defenceless can give us an independence that will take away the demonic oppression that the world suffers today: So, we must HAND THE NATION OVER TO HER DEFENDER!
The Lord’s reign β through his chosen humans β shall meet us at our points of need, give us the perfect liberty in our freedom, and remove every sorrow from our hearts, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
It is a helpless situation to be defenceless in a hostile world. When a man is sick, he runs to the doctor for defence. But what do you do if the doctor says “thereβs nothing more we can do for you?”
If a man has financial problems, he may run to the bank with the hope of borrowing some money so that he might come out of the mess he got into. But what would he do if the bank says they cannot help him?
Itβs debilitating to feel forsaken by relatives and friends, but the worst kind of helplessness comes when your spiritual shepherd, pastor or Imam says, βI have prayed all the prayers I know, and thereβs nothing more I can do for you!β
Thank God that, at such a kind of moment, there is somebody who is called the Defence of the defenceless.
Psalms 46:1 says:
βGod is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.β
No matter how big any trouble is, God is there to defend you.
Once in a while, we face opponents that are too big for us to handle on our own. At such times when we feel defenceless, God is always there to help us, so long as we belong to Him.
During one of the Holy Ghost Services, God told Papa Enoch Adeboye to tell someone in the congregation that he should not worry, he will laugh last.
Apparently, there was a young man in the congregation who had just received a disengagement letter from his workplace.
He came straight from the office to the programme, with that letter, crying for God to help him.
By Monday, all those who ganged up against him (that he must be sacked) were sacked, and he was promoted.
In John 10:11, Our Defender is called the Good Shepherd. John 10:12 says:
βBut he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, which the sheep do not belong to, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and runs for his life: and the wolf catches the sheep, and scatters them.β
The hireling referred to, in the gospel for today, is the devil. If you put yourself under devil’s care when the troubles of life come at you like wolves, he will leave you alone to face your music.
Once you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you will come under the protection of the Good Shepherd, and He will defend you whenever an enemy comes against you.
The Gospel of Christ Jesus, as recorded in Matthew 11.28 says, “Come unto me, all you who are weary and heavy laden.”
And the final chapter of that awe-inspiring last book of the Bible repeats, “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come. Let everyone who is thirsty come’.”

THE HYMN.
THROUGH THE LOVE OF GOD OUR SAVIOUR-
1. Through the love of God our Saviour,
All will be well.
Free and changeless is his favour,
All is well.
Precious is the blood that healed us,
Perfect is the grace that sealed us,
Strong the hand stretched forth to shield us,
All must be well.
2. Though we pass through tribulation,
All will be well.
Ours is such a full salvation,
All is well.
Happy, still in God’s confiding,
Fruitful, if in Christ abiding,
Only, through the Spiritβs guidance,
All must be well.
3. We expect a bright tomorrow,
All will be well.
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
‘All, all is well.’
With our Fatherβs love relying,
Jesus every need supplying,
In our living, in our dying,
All must be well.
π¦ LET US PRAY:
π 1. O God, arise and wipe away my tears of defencelessness, in the Name of Jesus.
π 2. _ Every shackle of evil and bondage that has vowed to escort me to the grave, DIE, in the Name of Jesus._
π 3. Holy Spirit, take away my sorrows and the shackles nailed into my destiny, in the Name of Jesus.
π 4. Every indebtedness, error, and past failure in my life that has imprisoned my laughter, DIE to the root, in the Name of Jesus.
π O LORD pay all my debts, in Jesus Christ’s Name!
π 5. Every difficult situation that proves to the world that I am helpless, Receive divine touch and attention NOW, in the Name of Jesus.
π 6. O Lord, from this day of my independence, open your heaven of supplies, success, peace, and rest unto me, in the Name of Jesus.
π 7. This month will see me entering into unbridled freedom and prosperity, in the Name of Jesus.
π¦ Good Evening, Beloved! Our eleventh hour miracle has come!
Happy New Month of unbridled liberty and success, in Jesus’ Name!
