The National President, Ministers of God Prayer Network International (MGPNI), Bishop Bola Oyegbami, has said Nigerians need prayers and repentance over the innocent blood that has been shed in the country.
Oyegbami said this at the special prayer programme organised by the Network in collaboration with Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN), in Lagos.
The ‘Pray for Peace of Nigeria’ programme, held at Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos, had the theme: ‘Proclaiming Greatness and Peace Unto Nigeria and Lagos State.’
Oyegbami said: “this prayer programme in Lagos State at this point in the country’s life is very strategic. We have come together as Christians to seek the face of God here,” adding that ”there is the need to pray for the country’s enlargement in all sectors, and for unity.”
On what Nigerians need to do, she said there’s need for repentance as a people, a nation and country, “especially for the innocent blood that is being shed.”
She noted that bloodshed brings desolation, captivity, hardship to residents and owners of land. Blood brings the days of judgment of the land nearer or close.
According to Oyegbami: “we are doing spectacular things to break the yoke of evil in this country. The scepter of God, like the rod of Moses, will be used to break the yoke of evil.”
All the clerics present took turns leading the congregation in prayers for Nigeria; against war, corruption, for the leadership, prevention of any crisis, restoration of the country’s glory days, among others.
Other clerics at the programme include: Bishop Dr. Moses Adedipe, Patron of MGPNI; Evangelist Michael Sambo; Ven. Rev. Bukola Adeleke, who is Special Adviser to Lagos Governor on Christian Matters, among others.
