As intercessors, God has placed us in a spiritual position where we can influence the direction of the nations of the earth. This has to do with consistent intercessions and putting the burden of these nations into our spirit not just where we were born. The bible says in Proverbs 16:12 “It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts, for a throne is established on righteousness.” Yet, we see and hear about wickedness of different forms across the nations.

Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and eat with him, and he with me.”

Acts 4:12 “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."

• Money or name cannot give any one salvation. Pray for the salvation of these leaders, may the Lord arise and arrest their hearts.

Proverbs 2:1-8 “Moral Benefits of Wisdom. My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.”

• Pray that God will help leaders surrender to the authority of heaven because that is the only way they will acquire Godly wisdom to lead the people.

Jeremiah 22:13 "Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness and his upper rooms without justice, who uses his neighbor's services without pay and does not give him his wages.”

• Pray that God will remember mercy on all leaders who are building on uprightness and injustice. May God remember mercy in the place of wrath

Judges 6:14 “The LORD looked at him and said, "Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?"

• Pray that God will call and raise Godly leaders that will support the spread if his word

Romans 13:1 “Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”

• There is only one authority and that is Jesus the King of Glory, so pray that God will cause them to surrender onto Jesus.

Psalm 78:70-72 “He also chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds; From the care of the ewes with suckling lambs He brought him To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance. So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them with his skillful hands.”

• Pray that God will raise leaders with integrity and skills that will bring God glory.

Psalms 2:10-11 “Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.”

Philippians 2:3 “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.”

Psalm 102:15 “The nations will fear the name of the Lord, all the kings of the earth will revere your glory.”

• Pray that the fear of the Lord will arrest their hearts and humble them

Daniel 4:28-32 “All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, he said, “Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?” Even as the words were on his lips, a voice came from heaven, “This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you. You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.”

• We have so many leaders like Nebuchadnezzar in the world today who are enslaving the people and preventing them from living their God given potentials. Most of them have already been warned by the Lord but because of pride they will not humble themselves. Pray that God will arise in Judgment and sent forth the message carrying His wrath against them.

• Pray that God will drive them away and cause them to eat grass like ox for this is the rode that will make them humble and renounce their evil.

• Pray that the wrath of God will arise against their arrogance and pride

2 Kings 21:1-6 “Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. His mother’s name was Hephzibah. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, following the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had destroyed; he also erected altars to Baal and made an Asherah pole, as Ahab king of Israel had done. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them. He built altars in the temple of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “In Jerusalem I will put my Name.” In the two courts of the temple of the Lord, he built altars to all the starry hosts. 6 He sacrificed his own son in the fire, practiced divination, sought omens, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger.”

• There are some leaders who have gone to the extreme that only the judgment of the Lord can take them out for the nation to be free. They don’t care about God, they carry out detestable practices, erect altars that has nothing to do with God. Their wickedness does not even recognize families or friends. Call on the wrath of God to descend upon such wicked leaders.

Proverbs 11:14 “For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.”

• Pray that God will put around these leaders God advisers to direct them in the way of the Lord.

Proverbs 21:1 “The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.”

• Pray that God arrest and direct their hearts to move like the cause of river into what ever direction that pleases the Lord and that will bring Him glory.

Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

• Pray that these leaders will yield unto the Holy Spirit of the living God so that they may be empowered with wisdom, knowledge and understanding in order to govern the people with righteousness and justice.

Exodus 18:21 “But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain —and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.”

• Pray that God will help the nations to prayerfully elect leaders who have the fear of God in their hearts.

Psalm 37:30-31 "The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is just. The law of their God is in their hearts; their feet do not slip."

• Pray that God will raise Godly leaders who will rule the nations with righteousness and wisdom.

• Thanks for your prayers
