Prayer Points Against Oppression

Last Updated on September 25, 2021 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

Today we will be dealing with prayer points against oppression. What is Oppression? It can be defined as the state of being kept down by unjust force or power. Most times, it is usually carried out by someone who is regarded as an oppressor.

Oppression is such that it would deny one of every right and benefit that one is due for. The children of Isreal were greatly oppressed while they were in the land of Egypt. They were tormented and held captive by a superior force or Power. When the people of Egypt discovered that the children of Isreal are getting stronger due to the increasing number of male children, they put an order in place to kill all the male children of the Israelites – these are the works of oppression.

Sometimes in our life, we are not sensitive enough to notice that we are being oppressed. We live in oppression, and yet we do not know that a dictatorial power is subjugating us. We will highlight some examples of oppression in our day to day activities so we can do how to pray better.

The funny truth is that we all live in oppression either on way or other. Babylon in the scripture was a symbol of oppression, those who were brought into Babylon back then knew what it means to be oppressed. In the same way, many of us are living in modern day Babylon. Not all our right has been released to us even when we merit them. Let’s quickly highlight some examples of oppression in our life.

Examples of Oppression in Modern Day

Tribe Inequality and Nepotism

Let’s use our country Nigeria as a reference to further explain this. We have different tribes in Nigeria. However, there is an assurance that no tribe is more superior than another. We are separate but equal. However, we still see some tribes getting a preferential treatment at the expense of others.

The Fulani Herdsmen is a good example. So many people have died from the hands of the Fulani Herdsmen and yet, nothing has been done to stop this menace. Many people argued that the inability of the government to find a lasting solution to Fulani Herdsmen issue is fueled by nepotism. Other tribes are being oppressed in that way.

Lack Of Religion Freedom

There are so many places in the country where the gospel of Christ has been struggling to find its root. This is because of the religion injustice that is highly perpetrated in that area. Many believers have lost their lives to the struggle while many others have been badly tormented.

We have heard cases of people rising against members of one religious sect and Killing them simply because they don’t practice their religion.

Government Dictator

Any nation that is under a cruel and tyrant leader, there won’t be smile on the faces of people. Little wonder the scripture says when the righteous rule the people flourish but when the wicked is in power, the people wail. Oftentimes we are being oppressed by the same arm of government that ought to guarantee our protection under the law.

It is not a matter for concern, we will be praying heavily against tyrant leaders.

Oppression of the Poor and Weak

We must not forget the scheme of the human nature that is built on anger, selfishness, envy and bitterness. Little wonder Cain rose against his brother Abel and end his life because he was stronger than him.

Similarly, people are being tormented and oppressed by other people who are prominent, influential and rich. The right of people are being trampled upon right before their faces. The rich oppress the poor, the strong oppress the weak.

We must have experienced one or two from the list example. Not to forget the the devil can also oppress believers. We will be raising an altar of prayer against every form of oppression and I believe God will arise and come to our aid. Every giant standing as an oppressor in our lives will be destroyed by the angel of the Lord.
