Jubilee Prayer Guide
Foreword “O God of all Creation, Bless this our land and nation” Kenya is truly a blessed nation. This beloved first line of our national anthem is a petition to God. The word ‘bless’ is the Hebrew word ‘barak’, which means to impart life, to be empowered to succeed, congratulations or exalted. So every time we sing our National Anthem, we’re asking God to ‘barak’ our nation – to impart life, exalt, congratulate and empower our nation to succeed! On December 12th last year – 12/12/12 – Kenya entered her year of Jubilee, the 50th year since independence. The year of Jubilee is one of the feasts of the Lord; it is a time set by God for the release of incredible favor and blessing upon a nation (Lev 25:10-13; Ps 102:12-15). It is a time for Repentance, Restitution, Release, Recompense, Rest, Restoration, Resurrection and Rejuvenation. What would happen if the body of Christ all over the nation, from different backgrounds and walks of life, resolved to humble themselves, and pray, and seek God’s face, and turn from their wicked ways, asking the Almighty God to release His Jubilee blessings on our land? We would truly birth a divine turn-around in this nation! It is one thing to ask God to bless our nation, it is quite another to ask Him to do so in the year/season He has set for releasing national blessings. It is a guaranteed win-win! This booklet is an invitation to every Kenyan to participate in birthing this turn-around.
