Lagos Prays<br />
PRAY FOR LAGOS AND COVER LAGOS 24/7 IN PRAYER<br />
“Open the floodgates of heaven, Lord. Let your grace, mercy, and supernatural insight rain on<br />
Lagos. Let fresh ideas, kindness, selflessness, humility, and empathy rain on Lagosians even as<br />
we enter into four years of plenty #ForAGreaterLagos in Jesus name.” - HE Babajide Sanwo-Olu<br />

Lagos Prays is an inter-denominational<br />
group coming together to cover Lagos<br />
with a blanket of prayer 24 hours a day, 7<br />
days a week. Our mission is to mobilise<br />
people to pray across the state.<br />
We gather online or in designated<br />
locations around Lagos to offer Jesus-<br />
Centred prayers for Lagos, our leaders and<br />
concerning challenges that confront<br />
Lagos. We stand in the gap for our state,<br />
our leaders and our people.<br />
The challenges confronting Lagos State are<br />
enormous and require not just skills and<br />
competencies but continuous intercessory<br />
prayers, from traffic and transportation to<br />
health and environment, from education<br />
and technology to making Lagos a 21st<br />
century cosmopolitan mega-city in the<br />
heart of Africa and from entertainment to<br />
tourism, arts and culture, coupled with<br />
recent rapid growth of population due to<br />
influx from other states, preponderance of<br />
indiscipline and impunity. The<br />
regeneration of Lagos demands “praying<br />
without ceasing”.<br />
Lagos Prays plans to include governmental<br />
leaders and walks on strategic sites within<br />
Lagos.<br />
Lagos Prays is designed to promote a culture<br />
of prayer and bring prayer to the forefront by<br />
igniting, motivating, mobilising and activating<br />
ordinary people from all godly faith in Christ<br />
Jesus to pray for state and local government<br />
leaders, staff, co-workers, family, friends,<br />
neighbors and all citizens, as we bridge gaps,<br />
bring unity and change the spiritual climate<br />
over our state as we invite God into our<br />
everyday affairs.<br />
We will pray for all authorities including<br />
government leaders and pastors, church<br />
elders, school boards, school principals,<br />
employers, businesses, art and<br />
entertainment and media.<br />
“Guarding” means to encircle, hedge around,<br />
pray, war, protect, serve, watch, guard,<br />
patrol, intercede, cover and to shield. The<br />
Lagos Prays team is composed of<br />
intercessors, prayer warriors, prophetic<br />
intercessors, prophets and spiritual warfare<br />
intercessors whose mission is to guard our<br />
state.
