My
time of intercession for Nigeria was 'hijacked' as I was led to pray for
something I have not really paid attention to: 'The Black Race'. There have
been an outcry against racism in the last few days owing to the death of George
Floyd, who was killed with a white knee on his neck. Like I said, I didn't give
the situation much thoughts until I went to pray.
As
I began to pray, the Holy Spirit led me to standing in gap for the black race
on the earth. Shortly into the prayers, I saw that books were opened in heaven.
The petitions in the courts of heaven about the way the black man is being
treated on the earth is massive!
I
went on praying in the Spirit and a word was impressed upon my heart and for a
while I was confused. I had to 'step back' to make enquiries from the Holy
Spirit if I was on the right track. When I was clarified about the word, I took
a record of it and went on to act on it. It took my quite a long while before
the burden receded.
Now,
let me say this: I felt taken aback at the word; I expected the opposite. So I
want to warn you ahead that it may sound offensive to any black man who has read
the accounts from Kunta Kinte, the boy captured from Gambia to the blue eye
Brazilian slave, Escrava Anastacia, whose white female-owner hated so much that
she placed an iron over her mouth because her husband loved to rape Escrava to
Nelson Mandela who was imprisoned for 27 years for fighting for the
emancipation of the blacks in South Africa
"I
see a new scroll opened
I
hear new beginning;
New
lease of life
For
the black man
All
over the world
For
the cup of justice is full
And
the righteous judge rain down judgment
So
repent!
Repent!!
Repent!!!
For
your heart is haughty
Towards
the righteous judge.
You
say revenge, I say justice
Humble
yourself under the mighty hand of the Lord
That
He may exalt you in due time!"
Now,
after that word, the Holy Spirit led me to ask for mercy for the black race. As
I did this, I sensed that the handwriting of requirement against the black race
is so much and the men being accused felt they could vindicate themselves.
There is a need for the black race to humble herself and ask for the saving grace
of the Lord to 'open the scroll'.
The
Lord's ways are different from ours. I want to enjoin intercessors all over the
world to pray for mercy for the black race. As we do this, it will be
therapeutic for our offended hearts and open up a new lease of life as the Lord
has said.
