ABOUT PIIMA INTERCESSORS


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.
