Text: 1 Timothy 2:1-3
[1] I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
[2] For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
[3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

Sup: means to eat and drink.

It also means to eat evening meal, which is the supper.

Evening is the final acceptable period, season, time allowed to close up the official business proceedings of the day. Scripture says: The night cometh when no man can work. But sup must be supplied by someone
Psalms 51:16-17.

[16] For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

[17] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Now God looks and searches for a qualified man that will serve Him a sup that He desires to eat, to prevent and stop the destruction of Sodom, of Nineveh, of Israel and now Nigeria. This then becomes supplication. But who will provide the supplication? Who shall He send and who will go for Him? Isaiah volunteered and said, ‘here I am send me’. Abraham took it upon himself to stand between God and Sodom. Righteousness was the subject and objective that Abraham presented to God in the tray of his supplication.

God expects nations to step up to produce the vessel (personnel) to execute the office of the oracle of the spirit of grace and supplication and in particular, Nigeria.

Oh Lord God, we Nigerians are sinful, most corrupt and greatest liars. Our kings, president, governors, legislators and judges have all sinned against You, our people and our land. We are murderers and our hands are full of blood. We, the military killed our innocent protesting youths at Lekki Tollgate. Our police are killers. We, the executive, legislature and judiciary have been looting the treasury of Nigeria from 1960 till date. We call evil good and good evil. We have brought these things upon ourselves.

Lord, please have mercy upon us. We repent this day and beseech Thee, in the Name and Blood of Jesus. Forgive us now and make us clean. Amen.
