PRAYER GUIDE
ISAIAH 51:15-16 (NKJV)
15But I am the Lord your God,
Who divided the sea whose waves roared—
The Lord of hosts is His name.
16And I have put My words in your mouth; [Emphasis Added]
I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
That I may plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth, [Emphasis Added]
And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
JEREMIAH 1:9,10 (ESV)
Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me,
“Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,
to pluck up and to break down,
to destroy and to overthrow,
to build and to plant.”
EZEKIEL 37: 3-5, 7, 9, 10
And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, [Emphasis Added] O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live….
So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, [Emphasis Added] and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone…
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, [Emphasis Added] Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on
these slain, that they may live.” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, [Emphasis Added] and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
MARK 11:13-14
And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he
came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. And he said to it, [Emphasis Added] “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. [Emphasis Added]
MARK 11:22-24
And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, [Emphasis Added] whoever says to this mountain, [Emphasis Added] Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says [Emphasis Added] will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, [Emphasis Added] believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
GUIDING TEXT FOR THE FASTING SEASON
ISAIAH 32:1-8
1Behold, a king will reign in righteousness,
And princes will rule with justice.
2A man will be as a hiding place from the wind,
And a cover from the tempest,
As rivers of water in a dry place,
As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3The eyes of those who see will not be dim,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4Also the heart of the rash will understand knowledge,
And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5The foolish person will no longer be called generous,
Nor the miser said to be bountiful;
6For the foolish person will speak foolishness,
And his heart will work iniquity:
To practice ungodliness,
To utter error against the Lord,
To keep the hungry unsatisfied,
And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.
8But a generous man devises generous things,
And by generosity he shall stand.

THE 2021 & FUTURE ELECTIONS
As part of the COVID-19 containment measures, on 16th June 2020 the Electoral Commission banned public rallies for the 2021 political campaigns. Radios, television, newspapers and the Internet will be the channels for campaigning this time round. The official guidelines for the 2021 general elections, including how much space and time aspirants will be allocated on Uganda’s national broadcasting network, are expected to be issued by the Electoral Commission after consultation with relevant stakeholders. The 2021 elections will be Uganda’s first digital and mass media campaigns and are supposed to observe social distancing guidelines. The political party primaries have shown how difficult it will be to follow the prescribed guidelines.
These are the basic requirements to run as a candidate in the forthcoming elections and the roadmap leading up to Election Day 2021 as displayed on the Electoral Commission website.

THANK GOD FOR:
- The opportunity Ugandans have to choose their leaders
- All that is being done to prepare for the 2021 Elections
PROCLAMATION OVER THE 2021 & FUTURE ELECTIONS
A Declaration Of What We Are Praying For And What We See As God Answers Prayer
The choice of Election Day 2021 and future elections will align with Heaven’s calendar for Uganda. Uganda will experience peaceful nomination, campaign and elections periods devoid of violence and destruction of property.
Candidates will be protected from harm.
Uganda will be protected from pre- and post- elections terrorism, violence and bloodshed.
Uganda will be shielded from insiders and outsiders who plan to meddle with the elections. Voices calling for war and civil unrest are silenced in Jesus’ name. A divine rebuke goes out to scatter the people, organisations, and nations that delight in war and violence.
A new level of political maturity is emerging as winners and losers in the elections become gracious in both victory and defeat and don’t behave like the elections are the end of all things. The electoral process will be transparent and accountable with freedom of speech, assembly,
association and movement, and freedom from fear.
Those who violate this will be dealt with firmly.
In 2021 and the unfolding years, the Electoral Commission will execute its mission: “to organize
and conduct regular free and fair elections and referenda” professionally, impartially,
efficiently and in the fear of God.
The Electoral Commission will uphold its constitutional mandate and perform its functions in a
bold, non-partisan way without influence from interested parties within and without the
country.
There will be a clear un-tampered National Voters’ Register and the printing of ballot papers
will be done with excellence to enable the electorate to vote without confusion.
The packing, delivery and distribution of the polling kits will be done efficiently: with no
miscoding and misallocation of polling kits.
The Electoral Commission will be a fair umpire and enforcer of the rules and regulations
governing the election process.
Players in the electoral spaces will have mutual respect for each other
Voting, vote counting, tallying, announcement of winners will done with the principles of
righteousness justice, mercy and truth
The results will be decisive to avoid conflicts.
God’s chosen leaders for the first half of this pivotal decade 2020 will come through victorious.
AMEN
