A Warm Welcome And Introduction To WPN

I want to formerly welcome you to the World Prayer Network and to thank God for laying in your heart to accept to stand up for Him and against iniquity and perversions across the nations of the world.

The focus for this Prayer Net work is to wipe out idols, unclean spirits, corruption and violence from the nations of the world (Zechariah 13: 2). The scope of these startling vices is defined as follows:

·       Idols - includes cultism, sorceries, witchcraft and ritual sacrifices,

·       Unclean spirits - includes various forms of immoral sex practices and lusts,

·      Corruption - includes various forms of injustice, electoral mal-practices, ritual killings and covetousness. 

·       Violence - includes terrorism, armed robbery, vandalism, abortion and various forms of out laws and disorderliness. 

One thing that these vices have in common is the shedding of innocent blood, portraying acts of wickedness where mercy is thrown overboard, generally known as iniquity in the scriptures. The consequence of these is defilement of the people and of the land – the land becomes sick bringing curses and hardship upon the people. It is for such iniquity that God destroyed the first world and saved only Noah and his family (Genesis 6: 5 – 7, 11-12), destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire (Genesis 18: 20 – 23), cast out the Canaanites from their land and gave it over to the Israelites and subsequently thrust out Israel into slavery in Babylon for more than 70 years. God regards such sins as abomination/ iniquity – His glory is denied Him and the people are wallowing in dire hardship. But God wants to do something about it and this is the time, which is why He is leading us to be part of this prayer network to stir-up the change.

Each intercessor is to focus on the nation where he or she is living and then Nigeria but will receive prayer support from other intercessors in the network. This is a major challenge but is a requirement for what the Lord is about to do across the nations of the world beginning from this year 2006. The vision is sure and clear (Zechariah 13: 1 - 2).

The World Prayer Network Operational Modalities

1. Prayerfully nominate one or two days of the week when your prayer focus will be on the issues raised by this Prayer Network. We expect you to be able to spend a minimum of 2hrs a week before the Lord in prayer on the prayer network topical issues.

2. Send the nominated dates to me so that we can link up with you and with others that are praying on that date.

3. Please, send your telephone contact number as I might occasionally call you to encourage you, pray with you and take situational reports as the Lord will lead.

4. We will introduce you to other intercessors in the network who are in the same city/ country where you are living. Our expectation is that at least once a month you will agree on a convenient time and place where you all within the same city will meet to pray on the topical issues in that nation, city and in the network for that month.

5. We will like you to communicate to me in advance when such a meeting is scheduled so that you can also enjoy prayer support from other locations on that day.

Finally communication and support are key for the success of this network

Support

We call for the spirit of teamwork.

Please respond promptly and faithfully  to any urgent prayer need in the network.

Support one another spiritually, morally, emotionally in words and in deeds.

Our Core Values

Our weapons

Our watch-word

Communication

We will communicate weekly by e-mail topical issues and scriptures for all intercessors in the network to focus on in their prayer for that week. Usually, it will be sent before Tuesday of every week. Please, do sign on to download the weekly prayer focus.

We also encourage you to send in to me prayer topics of concern in your area or nation of coverage or on any issues anywhere in the world which attracts urgency for divine intervention. This will in turn be injected into the network for prayer supports.

This network is very young and at inception stages: We will therefore welcome any suggestions at any time to make it more effective.

Finally, grow the network in your locality and recommend it to anyone you know has the heart of God and is willing to intercede for the people and the land. We will be ready to register such a person and include him or her in our weekly e-mails.
