PRAYERS FOR THE SALVATION OF SOULS

Song: There’s gonna be a great awakening
There’s gonna be a great revival in our
land
There’s gonna be a great awakening
And everyone who calls on Jesus
They will be saved.

Thank God for sending His only Begotten Son to the world to seek and to save that which was lost. Give God praise for the Blood of Jesus Christ, that was shed shed for the remission of sins.

Ask the Lord to give us the heathen for our inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the Oyo State beginning from Bodija for our possession. Pray that God will cause us to be a going Church and not a sitting Church. That we will go into the nooks and crannies of the land to preach the Gospel to every creature with signs following us, we shall cast out devils, take up serpents; and if we drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt us; we shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.(Psalms 2:8, Mark 16:15-18)

Let us ask God to revive our Outreach & Evangelism Department and baptise everyone of us afresh with a zeal and passion for souls. Ask God to release fresh power upon us all to be witnesses in our various communities.

(Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 10:33)

Pray that the Holy Spirit will reprove and convict the hearts of men and women on Awolowo Avenue and the surrounding communities around our church venue of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. Ask the Lord to grant us favour with all the people and add to the church daily such as should be saved. (John 16:8, Acts 2:47)

Pray against every spot or channel that give men alternatives to attending churches. Decree that all the club houses and beer parlours that serve as gates of hell, where men are overtaken with debauchery, drunkenness, adultery, fornication & all manner of lewd and lustful acts in our community be shut down. Just like Jesus cursed the fig tree, declare that men shall no longer patronise those spots again. (Mark 11:14)

Pray that as we go out to evangelise, the Lord will open the hearts of men to attend to attend to all the words that we speak. Pray that the Lord will give us a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. Declare that all that we minister the Gospel to shall surrender their lives to Jesus as Lord and Saviour. (Acts 16:14, Luke 21:15)

Receive a great harvest of souls from the North, South, West and East of Ibadan into our midst. Summon them by the Sovereign Spirit of God’s grace to start seeking after the Lord and desiring to learn of His ways. Break every chain and bars of iron that seeks to hold them down. Loose them and let them go to serve the Lord. (Isaiah 43:6, Matthew 21:2, Acts 2:41)

Let us pray for the salvation of every member of our families that is yet to know the Lord. Decree that the promise of God that we shall be saved, with our household be fulfilled in our lives. That as for us and our families, we shall serve the Lord. (Acts 16:31, Joshua 24:15)

Thank God for the salvation of our families and those in our community. Give God praise because they are brought into the fold together with us and their shall be one fold and one Shepherd.
