LAST NIGHT: This was a special prayer, praise and prophetic declarations over this new Nigeria. The meeting started at the scheduled time with a great turn out of saints in the land of Sokoto, each person holding up the flag of Nigeria. The flags were continually waved to God in appreciation of how He has kept the nation as one and sustained our peaceful coexistence as against what could have been by the enemy’s plot. God gave an insight through His servant Pastor Courage Ode that the true celebration of independence implies an independence from satan unto a dependence on God.

The meeting continued with great participation and enthusiasm expressed by the saints. The thanksgiving session was linked into a prayer session for the country considering the fact that in the last thirty nine sessions of the meeting, divers prayer points have been raised as inspired by the Holy Spirit, however, a perfection and completion to the whole process can best be guaranteed by employing the means of praying in other tongues to rightly compensate for the limitation of man. This session was marked by fervent prayers in other tongues which ushered us into the Independence Day proper by 12am, a praise session took over the center stage fulfilling scriptures that Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises at midnight unto God.

A prophetic praise shouting was raised unto God twenty one times. This was immediately accompanied by a session of prophesying unto the New Nigeria in our hands, definite prophetic words by every individual unto God. This was sealed by the final declaration by Dr. Moses Fagbemi who crowned the meeting with prophetic declarations from the pulpit while resounding amen’s from the congregation greeted the proclamation. The meeting ended at exactly 12:30am with cheers and salutations to one another for a new Nigeria.

As a people, we have no doubt in our hearts that we have totally dedicated Nigeria over to God. Nigeria is all of God; we have received a NEW NIGERIA in Jesus’ name.

Happy Independence Nigeria as you turned 52.You will fulfill all of the counsel of God. Life, Light and Peace to you in Jesus’ name.
