The Elijah Network is a Christian Pentecostal Prayer Movement and a Prophetic Prayer Ministry.
On the second and third Saturday of every month, CBA hosts a TEN prayer meeting. You are encouraged to be partners with us, including your friends, relations and anyone who has a burden to see changes in our nation, the church, our marriages and families.
The Elijah Network (TEN) program revolves around the power of prayer.
Simply put, this means we'll be hearing what God says and taking prophetic action. We'll also be seeing what God shows and doing what He commands. In addition we'll be praying God's way in order to get the desired results knowing that the Almighty God knows how to direct our prayers.
ROMANS 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
We shall be sitting in the counsel of Heaven in order to hear from God, following His leading and His command so as to pray more strategically. Finally we shall be learning from one another thereby broadening the base and scope of our intercession.
We have total faith in God like Ezekiel. (Ezekiel 37:1-14). Expressed through TEN, we have total dependence, total trust and total confidence in God.
We learn from the early Church, who whenever they had a challenge prayed together in one accord. (Acts 2:1-4, Acts 4:24-31, and Acts 12:12-16).
We must know what it feels to minister under the cloud of prayer and remaining in His presence till we take back that which the devil has stolen.
It is time to take back what is rightfully ours and time to refuse the rule of the heathen.
JOEL 2:17
Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: Wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
The Lord has chosen you to bring you into true dominion in order to fulfill His purpose and like Timothy was told by Paul:
1 TIMOTHY 1:18-19
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck.
We should not allow the devil to make a shipwreck of our lives, marriages, relationships, businesses, ministries or even our nation for that matter.
The Elijah Network's mission is three-fold, targeting nation, family and church.
NATIONS: Raising one million intercessors or more worldwide and praying against national disasters. Praying for decrease in crime. Pulling down the stranglehold of Satan over our nation and government.
EZEKIEL 22:30
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
FAMILY: There is an urgency for marital issues and we shall be interceding for husbands who have not given their lives to Jesus Christ. Believing for stability in marriages and interceding for wayward children.
CHURCH: More than ever, praying for a revival in the Body of Christ. Believing that the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) would be brought back into the Church through evangelism. Praying for stability in ministries and for ministers of the Gospel.
The objectives of SIP are a combination of organisational group objectives as well as individual participant objectives. They are inspired by the Book Of Genesis and built around marriage as a God-given institution.
Set up intercessory prayer groups that will pray fortnightly for at least four hours.
Seek the face of God concerning the nation, government, family and church.
Maintain a record for all the relevant revelation and answers to prayer when they come.
Communicate immediately any hot issue for immediate intercession.
Pray for household salvation.
Pray for barren women and for fruitfulness.
Pray for the empowerment of Christians.
Pray for the sick, believing more in God's healing power in the lives of His people. Nigeria is experiencing high rates of diabetes, hypertension, HIV and cancer etc.
Emphasize on clean thoughts and holy hands as a prerequisite to answered prayer (Psalm 24:4).
Call for at least 21 days of fasting and prayer at the beginning and end of every year.
Publish prayer-related literature.
Since the inauguration of the Elijah Network in 2008, God has honoured His word in several respects. Whenever the need arises, for instance if someone is going into surgery, labor for childbirth or any case of emergency, mobile text messages are circulated to TEN partners and everyone immediately goes into intercession on behalf of the person that needs divine intervention. It is not restricted only to the area of health; it also includes the areas of marriage and the nation as well. Glory be to God there has been many testimonies and praise reports.
