Today, we join the host of heaven in celebrating a key spiritual landmark in the birthing of South Sudan as the 53rd nation of Africa. God’s prophetic agenda for Africans and Africa is accelerating towards that divine pinnacle that will cause a total shifting both in the economic and political landscape of the earth. The birth of a nation is like the birth of a Church, sent to fulfill a unique and divine purpose for God. As a Church is sent with a spiritual mandate to regenerate, transform reform and ultimately restore man into that spiritual scope where his life becomes a gateway of manifesting God’s glory in the earth, nations are likewise established for one sole reason, the advancement of God’s eternal purpose for their people.

Whichever way you look at it, only God’s agenda will stand at the end.  South Sudan is not accidentally located as a ‘chief gateway’ to the Arab nations but also carries a powerful strategic anointing {resource} in turning Africa around from her present defeated lame and blind position. This tells us why this nation has been under siege for decades. The enemy understands that destabilizing the interest of unity in the region, mains continual perpetuation of his evil in Africa and beyond. If you are reading this note as a believer, please note that it is your responsibility to intercede for southern and northern Sudan.

The power of prophetic intercession

The power of prophetic intercession has brought this day to view, yet to further move in the fullness of the promise, we have to release more intercession for the region. War is good business with high-level profit for some nations and their companies. If we desire to see peace, stability and prosperity in southern Sudan, we need to corporately apply the power of intercession to frustrate the plans of the enemy. We must not allow him to continue using tribal and religious differences to keep the nation from fulfilling her prophetic mandate. We release bowls  of intense intercession and reclaim the walls and gates of this new nation, change will take place. We declare war against the enemies’ war. We say, this day, the Lord who is amongst his people is strong and mighty.  Let the walls that besiege the people be shattered this day as a new voice arise in Africa.

Prophetic release

Isaiah 40:3-5

The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted  And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight  And the rough places smooth;  5 The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”  NKJV

This nation, we declare must be built on the solid foundation of peace, equity and righteousness. Righteousness will exalt you South Sudan; your gates will be called praise. God arise in your power and majesty; shout over your people that their enemy may flee. Gather your saints at the assembly of your name, May this day bring the memory of your promise to bear in the nations. Lord, may southern Sudan this day lift her two hands to you in righteousness as you establish her justice beyond her boundary. May her prince arise like a wild unicorn as you anoint her from the horn of your altar, may your watchmen never go into slumber.  We prophecy to you who have been desolated and scattered, you who have been shamed amongst the nations that your day of jubilee has come, may the Lord recompense those who have stolen your youth.  May the street of Juba be filled with the shout of praise as the Lord returns your sons and daughters? Let it be heard across the earth, let it be a song amongst the hidden that the Lord shouts over his people.  We look not to the things we see in the natural because the Lord has already established his counsel over the nation.

2 Cor 4:18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. NKJV
