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.
