A 40-Day Watch of Intercession for the Church, Leaders, and the Establishment of God's Kingdom in the Nations
Mobilizing 10 million Intercessors for the NATIONS Series 2
For more than twenty years, a prophetic call to intercession has shaped a unique prayer assignment for the Church.
In 2006, during a deeply personal season of crisis while his wife underwent a life-threatening medical emergency in London, Ambassador Monday O. Ogbe experienced a profound encounter with the Lord. In that moment of uncertainty and surrender, the Lord placed a clear mandate upon his heart:
"Pray for My Church and pray for the leaders of the nations wherever they are positioned in the mountains of influence."
From that encounter emerged a lifelong assignment of intercession for the Church and for the nations-specifically for those who serve within the Seven Mountains of Influence:
- Religion
- Family
- Education
- Government
- Media and Communication
- Arts and Culture
- Business and Economics
These spheres shape the values, direction, and decisions of societies and nations. When believers pray strategically for these areas, they participate in God's work of transformation within the earth.
Beginning in 2006, this sacred season of prayer and fasting has been observed faithfully each year from March 17 to April 25. What started as a personal act of obedience gradually became an ongoing watch of intercession carried by believers who share the burden to pray for the Church and for the nations.
Now, twenty years later, this booklet has been prepared to help others participate in that same assignment. It is also being translated into more than 50 languages, with the vision of mobilizing a worldwide movement of 10 million intercessors.
Become part of this global intercessory movement for God's glory.
This resource provides a structured framework for intercession and includes:
- 320 strategic Scripture-based prayer points
- 40 days of focused intercession
- Eight prayer watches each day
- Biblical foundations for national and cultural transformation
- Targeted prayers for the Seven Mountains of Influence
These prayers are not merely devotional reflections. They are governmental intercession-prayers that align the Church with God's redemptive purposes for leaders, cultures, and nations.
This booklet invites believers, intercessors, prayer groups, and churches to join in a united watch so that:
- The Church will arise in purity, unity, and spiritual authority
- Leaders across the mountains of influence will encounter the wisdom of God
- The gospel will reach those who have not yet believed
- And the Kingdom of God will be established in the nations
The call remains the same today as it was at the beginning:
Stand in the gap.
And through faithful prayer, may the will of God be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Shalom.
