We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!

In Your Kingdom broken lives are made new, You make us new.
‘Cause when we see You we find strength to face the day.
In Your presence all our fears are washed away, washed away.
Hosanna! Hosanna! You are the God who saves us, worthy of all our praises.
Hosanna! Hosanna! Come have Your way among us. We welcome You here, Lord Jesus!
‘Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day.

For us to receive and put on the Ephesians 6 “full armor of God” as we begin each hour,
that we might be protected as we continue to “stand in the gap” for our beloved country!
Pray.
The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection and ask that he be led by the Holy Spirit
so that he will discern truth and act for the good of the nation.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage and family, and cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For those leaders that God has anointed, appointed, and elected,
as they take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
May they work together to clean up corruption in our government and restore our electoral system.
Pray.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump,
focusing our prayers against any demonic attacks against his physical body,
so that he will remain in good health, able to serve his entire 4-year term as our 47th US President!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Wednesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ENGAGING IN A WARFARE OF LOVE, PRAYING FOR THE SALVATION OF OUR NATION
AND THE RESTORATION OF OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES – PART 94
“Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die.
Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.”
Proverbs 31:8-9
We have heard of and interceded for Christians in Nigeria who have been targeted by the Boko Haram and Fulani Muslim terrorists as they attacked and mercilessly slaughtered white farmers and others who dared to stand in their way! The situation has steadily grown worse, and today, we read and pray for our brothers and sisters there, as “Terror Spreads in Nigeria.”
It didn’t matter how soundly she slept, Salamatu would wake up at 2 AM. every night — unable to forget that it had been that same hour, months earlier, when Boko Haram stormed into her village, rewriting her future forever. Terror was a way of life as Jihadists swarmed her Nigerian church, shooting the pastor in cold blood. Then, they came for her family, and when her husband went out to face them, the militants jumped the fence, opened fire and killed him instantly. He was one of hundreds who have been slaughtered across the Plateau State in the bloody farmlands of Nigeria. As the world observed Holy Week, 51 people were massacred, burned to death in their homes in an early morning attack on the community of Bassa by the savage Fulani herdsman. In the days leading up to the raid, the roaming bands of riders had mowed down Christians whose only crime was working their land. 11 of them were gathered around the freshly dug graves of victims, and were brutally murdered during the service; among them, a pregnant mother, a 10-year-old girl, and 5 women. They are but a handful of the 113 innocents assassinated for their faith and their land since the end of March. “Our people are living in fear,” said Titus Ayuba Alams, who wants the West to know. “Children no longer go to school, even worship in churches — you can’t do it, because you are running for your life.” Still, most people understand the threat of openly worshipping Jesus and accept it anyway, determined to live out their faith in a country that’s become a killing field of Christians. Pray.
Even the landscape is scarred by the horrors. Across seven predominantly Christian regions, houses are reduced to rubble and ash — signs of yet another Boko or Fulani rampage. The attackers destroy everything in their path, looting and setting fire to entire areas in a systematic genocide that the government sees but does nothing about. In this latest wave, more than 1,000 Christians have fled or been displaced, and almost 400 homes were annihilated — with only the sound of motorcycles to warn them danger is near. “I would say it unapologetically, what happened in the last two weeks in Bokkos is genocide. I say it unreservedly,” said Plateau Governor Caleb Mutfwang. “This,” he argues emotionally, “is a well-coordinated plan to keep the people in those areas in perpetual poverty. You are dealing with attackers that are faceless, and so you just leave it to the fact that this is ill-motivated and is aimed at driving the people out of their lands.” Entire families have been “wiped out in midnight raids,” Pastor Tongsmangs Dasbak shook his head. “The indiscriminate killings often target defenseless civilians, including women, children and the elderly. This loss of human life is not just a statistic but a profound tragedy that has disrupted the social fabric of the region.” No one is brought to justice, no one is held to account. “Homes, schools, church buildings, and markets have been razed to the ground, as communities that took years to build have been reduced to ashes within hours,” said Amnesty International. The lucky ones have run into the forests, unable — or unwilling — to return. Pray.
This past week, these Islamic terrorists murdered 56 Christians during Easter celebrations at a church in Nigeria. This ongoing slaughter of Christians by the Boko Haram and the Fulani people have caused some church leaders there to wonder if the latest wave of violence is retaliation for Bishop Wilfred Anagbe’s brave testimony before the U.S. House. “We’re very fearful for his life,” said Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), a lifelong religious freedom advocate. “The fact that the government has not stepped up to really robustly protect him [is appalling]. The threats that have been made are very real,” he cautioned. … In his actual locale, a number of people have been killed recently — since April 3rd. We believe that’s more horrible message-sending by the terrorists.” The Bishop told nightmarish stories of what’s happening to believers right under the government’s nose. “He gave his testimony, and made it clear that the Fulani are waging a jihadist war against Christians and pious Muslims,” Smith pointed out, “because they do kill Muslims too, people who don’t adhere to the very aggressive jihadist viewpoint. And there are more Christians who have died in Nigeria than any other country in the world.” Lela Gilbert, of the Family Research Council, said there’s “no end to the abuse in sight. Church services are frequently targeted, whether Anglican, Catholic, or interdenominational Protestant. And the results are not only multiple deaths, but orphaned, raped, and often mutilated survivors. To many international observers, Nigeria is seen as a primary focal point of relentless Christian persecution.” Pray.
Smith said, “In China they put them in prison, and they torture them —but not as many die. Same way with North Korea. But here we’re talking about firebombing churches [and] individuals, killing priests. As we had our hearing, we brought up the fact that there was a priest who was summarily executed. And it’s just horrific bloodletting. The government in Abuja has not stepped up to the plate.”
Smith pointed to the International Religious Freedom Act, which makes it clear that “not only the actual complicity in working to hurt people of faith and to incarcerate and kill is criminal, but also if you stand with your hands in your pockets and allow people to do it , that constitutes the designation for a country of particular concern. Then you are sanctionable…and there are many, many very serious sanctions that could be brought against that government.” Pray.
The Biden administration stripped Nigeria of its official status as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) — without any justification whatsoever. Since then, the US has been deprived of one of its most basic tools to hold the country’s leaders accountable. “We’re saying, ‘Designate Nigeria as a CPC … and then sanction them,’” Smith urged. Last month, he introduced a resolution to do exactly that. “The time has come. We’ve got to step up. I’ve been raising this issue, and I’m not the only one…it’s outrageous.” Pray.
We pray:
That God will give our President the strategy with which to intervene, to bring an end to this chaos and wholesale destruction of human life and property! Pray.
That the nations of the world will bring pressure to bear, to compel the leaders of Nigeria to take the appropriate action to apprehend the perpetrators and stop this killing! Pray.
That the people of our nation will stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! Pray.
Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors, in particular, Godly men and those of the next generation who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
