About Court Session
with the Lord:
'Court Session with the
Lord' is the 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.
Dress Code:
Unlike the conventional
prayer vigils which a sizeable proportion of people attend dressed in rags and
untidy clothes, 'Court Session with the Lord' is not just one of those vigils,

your cause, therefore, it is highly required that you dress responsibly while
