Mountain of Intercession Day 3

On the third day of the Africa Haguruka 25th Edition Intercessory Sphere, held at Calvary Wide Fellowship Ministries, we began with an opening prayer, inviting God to be in the midst of our congregation. This was followed by an exuberant praise and worship session led by the worship team of Calvary Wide Fellowship Ministries. Pastor Ruhagararabahunga Eric, the moderator of the day, guided us into a powerful session, highlighting the satanic altars mentioned the previous day and emphasizing that prayer can destroy these altars and their sacrifices. He reminded us that we have a God in heaven who is above all. He then called upon Bishop Safari Theodore to lead us in a prayer session focused on destroying satanic altars and seeking the power to pray. The Senior Pastor of Calvary Wide Fellowship, Apostle Christophe Sebagabo, welcomed all the pastors of ZTCC and the speakers of the day.

Subject 1: How can the diaspora and people of African descent build collective resilience and spiritual solidarity with communities in Africa through intercession?

Speaker: Apostle Yemi Adiphalace

Apostle Yemi Adiphalace began by expressing his gratitude to Apostle Paul Gitwaza for his impactful work and visionary efforts with the Africa Arise initiative. Reflecting on his journey, Apostle Yemi recounted his 2007 trip to Rwanda, where he prayed fervently for the nation and sought divine intervention to raise intercessors who could stand in the spiritual gap for the country. During these prayers, Apostle Yemi experienced a profound revelation where God revealed seven satanic altars. Determined to seek their destruction, he faced a daunting spiritual battle, particularly while dismantling the fourth altar. In this intense moment, he encountered a large bird staring at him, which he discerned as a manifestation of the genocidal spirit responsible for the tragic events in Rwanda in 1994.

Intercessors must intercede in a Godly manner. African intercessors, in particular, are called to align their prayers with those of Jesus, the ultimate intercessor, to dismantle satanic altars. Furthermore, intercessors must pray unceasingly until they see tangible results and take action accordingly.

Luke 18:1-3
The parable of the persistent widow
1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ 4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’” 6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

Conclusion
Apostle Yemi emphasized that Rwanda holds the spiritual altars of Africa, a great responsibility that must be carried and borne by the intercessors of Rwanda. He stated that the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda was an evil mission aimed at destroying these altars. Therefore, Rwandan intercessors should rebuild the Lord's altars that were destroyed by evil. This is the time for Africa to rise and prosper, and it should begin in Rwanda, which hosts Africa's altar.

Subject 2:  What strategies can be used to mobilize and coordinate prayer networks focused on intercession for Africa?

Speaker: Bishop Titus Masika

Bishop Titus Masika started expressing his gratitude to Apostle Paul Gitwaza for his impactful work and visionary efforts with the Africa Arise initiative. He added that God has given him the gift of a mobilizing campaign. He highlighted the five level of intercession and how intercessor should approach them 

Five levels of Intercession

1. Spiritual warfare (John 1:12). At this level you pray to receive sonship power that sanctifies and cleanse your hearts and wash away sins. At this level you also receive power to defeat sins and over the workshop of the devil.  

2. Interceding for the Family (Job 1:4-10). The Bible illustrates that Job prayed to sanctify his children because they would often hold feasts. At this level, intercessors take on the responsibility of praying for their family. Whenever you pray, always bring your children and family before God.
3. Interceding for your Clan. At this level, intercessors address curses circulating within their family. They pray to destroy ancestral altars that have brought generational curses upon their family and clan.
4. Interceding for the community. Here, intercessors pray for their community and country. They are tasked with destroying satanic altars such as witches and sorcerers that cause generational curses such as poverty within communities. Intercessors must pray with faith until God brings about change and action within the community and country. They must pray with a focus on tangible results.

Nahum 3:4-7
4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts. 5 Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. 6 I will cast abominable filth upon you, make you vile, and make you a spectacle.
7 It shall not pass that all who look upon you will flee from you, and say, Nineveh is laid waste! Who will bemoan her? Where shall I seek comforters for you?” 8 Are you better than No Amon? That was situated by the river, that had the waters around her, Whose rampart was the sea?

Interceding for Nations. At the highest level, intercessors pray for nations, seeking divine intervention in global issues. They strive to break down spiritual strongholds and promote righteousness and justice on a larger scale, influencing entire nations through their prayers.
