Wailing Women Worldwide (Women Intercessors for the Church and the Nations)
The move of the Wailing Women Worldwide is essentially a call to prayer. It is the Lord Himself raising a Global Army of Spirit-filled women to labour in fervent intercession for the cleansing and unity of the universal church and the redemption of the Nations of the world until “the kingdoms of the world become the Kingdom of our God and of His Christ and He will reign forever”. It is an apostolic and a prophetic move of God.
Our History
The full name of this movement is Women Intercessors for the Church and the Nations (a.k.a. Wailing Women Worldwide). The movement started in Port Harcourt, Nigeria in May 1998 with a cry from God’s heart to His daughters concerning the spiritual state of the Church and the Nigerian nation.
Through prophetic utterance, the Lord specifically asked that women be raised from the 36 States of Nigeria (across denominational boundaries) to intercede for the church and the nation. He promised that if women came before Him in true repentance, He would avert the impending judgment on the nation. From that first mobilization effort, the women have held several solemn assemblies, in the regions and in various nations around the world.
The Call
The call of the Wailing Women is contained in Jeremiah 9:17-20: “Thus saith the LORD of hosts, consider ye and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, and let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.”
This clarion call is for:
- Women who will stand in the gap for their families, tribes, cities, nations, and continents so that God’s ultimate purpose of reconciling and restoring the “old waste places” on earth may be achieved.
- Women who will intercede worldwide to ensure that the “knowledge of the glory of God” actually “fills the earth as waters cover the sea”. Habakkuk 2:14
A Global Army
Describing this global army the prophet Joel said: “A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns: the land is as the Garden of Eden before them and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and as horsemen so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array” (Joel 2:3-5).This is the global vision given by the Lord God, to be carried out by a trained team of servant leaders in every nation.
Our Mandate
The major work of the Wailing Women Worldwide is to serve as prophetic gate keepers or “watchmen” for their homes, their nations and the church. They are to travail in prayers until the will of God is done in every sector of life, in every nation and in the world.Through prophetic utterance, the Lord specifically asked that women be raised from the 36 States of Nigeria (across denominational boundaries) to intercede for the church and the nation. He promised that if women came before Him in true repentance, He would avert the impending judgment on the nation. From that first mobilization effort, the women have held several solemn assemblies, in the regions and in various nations around the world.
The Wailing women are called and commissioned by the Lord to do the following:
- Mourn, sigh, and bring repentance before God regarding the level of violence and sin in the world. The abominations taking place all over the world should burden our hearts to pray.
- Teach our daughters how to wail and our neighbours how to bring lamentation for sin before God. (Jeremiah 9:20)
- Serve as messengers to the nations from the Lord God Almighty. Num. 22:27-33. Therefore, we have to go at His command to every part of the globe where He sends us on errands. (Jeremiah 1:5-8)
- Root out evil and wickedness wherever it is found
- Raise righteous standards all over the world
- Help build God’s house, even the Church of Jesus Christ
- Help plant the engrafted word of God in the hearts of men and ensure that the will of God is done in our nations.
- Pray for the restoration of all that the enemy has stolen from families, communities, and nations (Isaiah 58:12) to serve as part of God’s end time trumpeters to call the church back to the old pathway of holiness.
- Expand the frontiers of the kingdom of God on earth by building altars of righteousness unto the God of heaven (Exodus 20:24-25).
- Help gather the body of believers in every nation for solemn assemblies to repair their individual, city, national and continental altars (Joel 2:15-18).
