Prominent Ministers of God in Nigeria, yesterday night,
stormed the National Stadium in Abuja, the Nigeria Capital, to
pray and seek divine intervention to the Nigeria situation, as
they all agreed that all is not well with the country.
The programme, tagged; Nigeria Prays, was championed by
the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) with an attendance
of the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and his wife,
Dolapo, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Right
Hon. Yakubu Dogara and other government officials.
The Minsters of God who graced the programme are; the
General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God,
Pastor Enoch Adeboye (represented by Pastor in Charge of
Region 10, RCCG, Pastor Emmanuel Ibitayo), the General
Overseer of the Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo,
the General Overseer of Deeper Life Church, Pastor W. F.
Kumuyi, the Primate, Church of Nigeria (Anglican

Bishop Wale Oke of the Christ Life Church, the General
Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries, Dr. D.
K. Olukoya, the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel
Centre, among others.
The programme featured rendition of beautiful and
inspirational songs by various church’s choirs to bring down
the Glory of God, with prayers for the President and his
cabinet, the National Assembly and the Judiciary, 36 States
and the FCT, Governors and the local government chairmen.
Also there were fervent prayers on the state of the economy,
Appreciation of naira, Youth and families, Education system
and other sectors of the economy, among others, with various
Bible verses to back up the prayers.
During the prayer section on leadership, the entire
congregation rose and shouted on top of their voices in one
accord for God to remove every leader at any level of
government that is anti-people.
The Prelate of Methodist Church Nigeria , His Eminence Dr.
Samuel Chukwuemeka Kanu Uche, who led the prayer section
on Governors, declared that any governor without the fear of
God, that is not performing would not complete his tenure.
Represented by the Archbishop of Abuja, Oche Job, the Prelate
said; “Any governor without the fear of god will not complete
his tenure. Those who do well will come back for second
term,” and the congregation chorused a louder “Amen”.
On the issue of economy, the Deputy President of the
Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Pastor Paul
Adefarasin noted that the country’s economy is in prison and
it must be released.
Citing biblical story of Paul and Sila, he insisted the door of
the prison where Nigeria Economy is being held must be
opened on its own accord, for Nigerians to rejoice in their
lands.
“Nigeria economy seems to be in prison. Like in the case of
Paul and Sila in the bible, they were being held in the prison,
but the doors of prison were opened on its own accord.
After tonight, we expect the glory of God in Nigeria,” he said.
Also, the President of PFN, Rev. Felix Omobude prayed that for
wisdom, knowledge and understanding from God for those
who are steering the wheel of the country’s economy, calling
on God to swallow those who are sabotaging “our economy”.
“Those who have made it their stock in trade to run against
economic policy of this nation be run out of business,” he
prayed.
Some members of the congregation, who spoke to Vanguard
expressed satisfaction for the programme, describing it as best
and the first step that must be taken in “this our situation”.
They said the whole situation in the country had gone worst
that only “God could turn the fortune of Nigeria around for
good, and that is why we are calling on Him to show us
mercy and restore our land. And we believed that He has
heard us.”
