There
can be little gainsaying the fact that Nigeria is currently passing through her
most critical days in recent history
Government has come out to boldly declare that it would significantly curtail
and degrade the Boko haram menace within 6 weeks. (One week already gone!) Both sides are then going to be throwing
everything within their arsenal into the fray – these 6 weeks will determine so
many things!
But
the ultimate decider will not be the military alliances or the new hardwares. Like history has consistently shown, the
ultimate power is in the prayer of the saints
Queen
Mary Tudor of Scotland famously retorted: I fear the prayers of John Knox than
all the armies of England. Back home in
Nigeria, Sanni Abacha realized he needed to neutralize the praying man at
Redemption Camp if his political intrigues were to succeed
If
every there is a time that Nigeria needs prayer, it’s NOW!
Thank
God for the prayer momentum gradually gathering: For instance, the historic
Intercessors without Walls prayer conference spearheaded by Nigeria prays.Gethsemane,
IFN, Wailing Women and others held powerfully for three days in January.
Currently
making the rounds on social media is an appeal which CA! would like to enthusiastically
endorse. But we will like to suggest
that any Nigerian who is not ready to join and participate in the prayers need
not bother forwarding the mail to others – lest it becomes a mere social media
campaign, rather than real prayer campaign!
The appeal is that we all stop whatever we are doing every 9.00 pm to
pray for one minute for the safety of Nigeria, the victory of our troops
against Boko Haram and all similar manifestation of insurgency, and very
importantly, the restoration of godly values in Nigeria.
Below
is the appeal as transmitted on Social Media:
PLEASE
JOIN US: Evening
Prayer
Someone
has said that if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available
thrugh prayer, we might be speechless.
Did
you know that during WWII there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a
group of people who dropped what they
were doing every day at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray
for the safety of England, its people and peace?
“There
is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in Nigeria. If you would like to participate: Every evening
at 9:00 pm, STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND SPEND ONE MINUTE PRAYING for the safety
of Nigeria, our troops, our citizens,
and for a return to a godly nation. If you
know anyone else who would like to participate, please pass this along. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.
Please forward this to your praying friends.
