Day 15 - Agriculture

Research has shown that given proper attention, agriculture can make Nigeria economically great and prosperous nation. God has endowed us with abundant and fertile land, tropical weather, good species of fruits, vegetables, crops, etc.

• Recent reports show increase harvests by farmers nationwide occasioned by sound government policies. Pray for this trend to continue.

• Bind the fertility goddess that people worship instead of Jehovah El Shaddai and cast it out of our agricultural sector. The goddess is called Orisa Oko in Yorubaland, and it is worshipped at new yam festivals in Iboland.

• Pray that all the wicked and corrupt officials in the agriculture sector, i.e. parastatals and ministries be exposed and judged, if they do not repent, (Zech 5:1-4, Jer17:11).

• Break all satanic covenants made with the land by our forefathers and evil covenants made by farmers with ancestral gods, fertility gods, and occultic demons, (They do this for a bounteous and abnormally quick harvest). Break curses arising from such evil covenants, (Gal. 3:1).

• Pronounce God's judgment upon the water spirit that afflicts our land and our agricultural sector. Let the voice of the Lord be as judgment over them, (Is 27:1, Ezek29:2-5; Ps 29:3-9)

• Pray the Lord to stir up the hearts of our lawmakers to pass a law mandating the Federal government, the 36 state governments, the FCT and the 774 local governments to embark on mechanized farming within the next one year.

• Pray the Holy Spirit to brood over the officials involved in this sector that they operate by the spirit of wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord, (Gen1:2, and Isa.11:2).

• Pray the Lord to transform the dry bones situation in the agriculture sector causing His breath to bring alive all that was dead, (Ezek37:1-14 and Joel2:18-26).

• Pray God to expose corrupt farmers who cultivate drug plants (marijuana) and those who do not utilize federal government financial assistance rightly.
