The responsibility of believers is to bring their nation’s prophetic destiny before God, focusing on what God has declared about the nation rather than its current issues. Just as the high priest in ancient Israel carried the twelve tribes on his heart before God, intercessors today are called to present their country’s true calling and purpose. This is not about presenting a nation’s corruption or weaknesses but rather aligning with what God has spoken over the nation, trusting in His plans for redemption and restoration.

In the case of Nigeria, there is a divine calling on the country to rise above its present state and fulfill its destiny as a righteous nation. Intercessors are critical in this process, standing as watchmen who continually bring the nation before God, reminding Him of His promises. Regions that are strongholds of darkness, such as Borno state, can experience transformation through the relentless prayers of the righteous. Nigeria’s destiny is to be a “sheep nation,” one that aligns with God’s purposes, and through persistent intercession, this destiny can be realized.

Spiritual warfare plays a significant role in this journey. Nigeria is caught between two inheritances: an occultic heritage that seeks to divert the nation from God’s plans and a prophetic heritage that reflects God’s intended purpose. The responsibility of intercessors is to combat the former and call forth the latter by persistently declaring God's vision for the nation. This battle requires watchmen—those who stand in the gap and continually pray for the prophetic destiny to come to pass.

God’s timing is often marked by signs, and those who are vigilant in prayer will recognize when shifts in the spiritual atmosphere occur. It is through perseverance in prayer and fasting that these shifts are brought to fruition. Even when the present appears grim, believers must stay focused on the divine blueprint for the nation, trusting in God’s power to bring it to completion.

Lastly, gratitude and unity are essential. Those who engage in fasting and prayer, no matter how small their contribution, are seen and valued by God. Every effort counts in the larger battle for the nation’s destiny. With unity, persistence, and faith, a nation can align with God’s prophetic vision and fulfill its divine calling.
