Plateau
Independent Indigenous Minister’s Association (PIIMA) is an
intercessory initiative embarked upon in May 2014 by ministers of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ of Plateau State origin who ran various ministries. These
committed Christians felt a strong need to come together monthly for the
purpose of fervent intercessory prayer for Plateau State in particular and
Nigeria in general. This need was felt because of the many social upheavals
that have been ravishing the land resulting in the death of thousands innocent
citizens.
We
understand from the Scriptures that calamity is permitted by God when people
turn their backs on Him. The intention of God is that the people might feel
pain, repent, and return to God. But for the people to see and accept their
sin, a prophet has to take God’s word to them. In Ezekiel 22 God sought for
such a man but couldn’t find one. PIIMA ministers have decided to place
themselves at God’s disposal for the purpose of this role.
Our Guiding Scripture:
“Her prophets
whitewash these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations. They
say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says’- when the LORD has not spoken. The
people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery; they oppress the poor
and needy and mistreat the foreigner, denying them justice. “I looked for
someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap
on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. So
I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing
down on their heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign LORD.” Ezekiel
22:28-31.
