SPECIAL PRAYERS FOR NIGERIA
No longer will fools be called noble in Nigeria,
Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
For wisdom is too high for a fool.
A fool speaks nonsense,
And his heart inclines toward wickedness:
To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord,
To keep the hungry person unsatisfied
And to withhold drink from the thirsty.
As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He devises wicked schemes
To destroy the afflicted with slander,
Nigeria, you will no longer see a fierce people,
A people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends,
or Of a stammering tongue which no one understands
will no longer rule us.
O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited for You.
Be our strength every morning,
Our salvation also in the time of distress.
May our leaders reign righteously & rule justly.
May our leaders become noble
May they devise noble plans and stand by noble plans.
May they walk righteously and speak with sincerity,
May they reject unjust gain and shake their hands so that they Hold no bribe.
May they become one who stops their ears from hearing about bloodshed and shut their eyes from looking upon evil.
May our leaders dwell on the heights,
May their refuge be the impregnable rock;
May their bread be given them, may their water will be sure.
Let only leaders after your own heart O'Lord, rule Nigeria henceforth.
All these we ask in Jesus Mighty Name. ( AMEN)
