BLESS NIGERIA! - Dr Jesutola Adewumi

I don’t know about you, but for most folks, it seems to be “hard work” blessing Nigeria, probably because we’ve had a culture of cursing her over the years, saying things like “this Nigeria is terrible/finished/done for/going nowhere” or other adaptations of such “statements of fact”.

Or maybe folks just find it difficult to bless because our culture is more prone to cursing than blessing, so much that even the blessings are just curses adapted by the use of negatives e.g. “you will NOT die young, your enemies will NOT prevail against you, NO harm will befall you” etc etc.

If we’re going to make a shift in our attitudes & words, we’ll need to learn to bless as God blesses. We’ll need to submit our hearts, minds & mouths to the Word of God like never before. We’ll also need to PRACTISE blessing consciously. Below is my personal confession over Nigeria. Please join me in declaring today:

Nigeria, I declare the shalom of God upon you.
I call you blessed with your children.
I declare that you are arising from the doldrums to take your place among the nations.
You fulfill your prophetic destiny in this season like never before in the name of Jesus.
See, this is a field that the Lord has blessed.
I sustain you with the dew of heaven above and the fatness of the earth beneath and plenty of corn and wine and oil.
No longer shall you be desolate, ravaged and destroyed, but by my blessing, you are uplifted.
I declare that the peace of God reigns supreme in and beyond these elections, the will of the Lord is done.
Lord, let Your kingdom come today, and Your will be done in Nigeria, even as it is in heaven.
Let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, and establish the just.
Let grace speak loud and clear for Nigeria.
Let the holy blood of the Lamb be her stay.
Let the sound of wailing & weeping be replaced with shouts of gladness.
Turn again Nigeria’s captivity oh God, RESTORE!!!
May God’s grace rest on you in ever-increasing measure as you bless Nigeria with your words & actions. May you prosper because you love her (Psalm 122:6).
