'Court Session with the Lord' is the weekly non-denominational intercessory program initiative of The Lord's Court International (LCI), a non-denominational intercessory ministry called by God to return His people to their knees in personal prayers and intercession for a one-on-one communion with God
LCI is an unusual ministry with an unusual mandate as contained in Joel 2:14-17 (CEV): "I am the Lord your God. Perhaps I will change my mind and treat you with mercy. Then, you will be blessed with enough grain and wine for offering sacrifices to me.
Sound the trumpet in Zion! Call the people together. Show your sorrow by going without food. Make sure that everyone is fit to worship me. Bring adults, children, babies, and even bring newlyweds from their festivities.
Tell my servants, the priests, to cry inside the temple and to offer this prayer near the altar: "Save your people, Lord God! Don't let foreign nations make jokes about us. Don't let them laugh and ask, 'Where is your God?'"
A global ministry with members from all the continents of the world with the specific instruction from God to bring all the challenges of God's people that have led held them bound before Him in His court for adjudication and intervention, it is founded by Pastor Ray Festus Symperr, an intercessor by calling cum a television producer, publisher and information technologist by training.

THE SPECIAL SESSION WITH THE LORD IN HIS COURT FOR PEACE IN NIGERIA
Date: 1st - 3rd March, 2011, Time: From 12.00 - 1.00 a.m. daily.
Theme: "O Lord, let your peace blossom in Nigeria again."
GOODWILL MESSAGE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CO-ORDINATOR,
THE LORD’S COURT INTERNATIONAL (LCI)
Dear attendees,
Precious greetings from our Lord Jesus Christ on whose behalf I wish to appreciate you for choosing to attend this all-important event – The Special Session with the Lord in His Court for Peace in Nigeria.
As the name implies, the clarion call for you and I to arise and pray to God to bless Nigeria with His peace at this time in the history of Nigeria becomes paramount if the ongoing national political transition programme must be smooth and successful. We all must arise to build a virile and strong nation in all ramifications under the unfailing canopy of God’s peace. Through intense prayers and intercession, we must chart a path for the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, to fan the embers of His peace upon every nook and cranny of our land.
As responsible citizens of Nigeria, we can’t afford to fold our hands watching the terrible enemies of our land, the minute percentage of cruel and blood-tasty Nigerians that constitute themselves as the cabals, to successfully bring their obnoxious plans to bear upon Nigeria. We all must arise to fight to rescue our great nation from ruins. We all must arise to rebuild the broken walls of our great country through collective prayers and intercession like Nehemiah. We can’t wait until we see Nigeria totally liberated from the wicked hands of these few cabals in the land. The peace of God must have its way if a new nation where maximum respect for human life and the constitution is guaranteed must be berthed.
As intercessors and watchmen over our land, we can’t afford to wait until these cruel jackals take over Nigeria again for their own selfish personal gains. We must arise and pursue them to the hills and desert and never to allow them to return to trouble our land again. The good of Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians, irrespective of tribe, language, religion, culture, nobility status, political affiliation and academic background; and are meant to be enjoyed by all Nigerians. Through the weapon of intense prayers and intercession, we shall fight until Nigeria becomes a glorious nation for everyone of us.
Once again, I thank you for choosing to attend this prestigious session. And because you choose this right thing at this time, you shall surely not miss your own portion of the good of Nigeria in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Shalom!
