A Cleric and Public Relations Officer to National President of The Apostolic Church, Nigeria, Apostle Ogbonnaya Okah, has advised Nigerians to sustain prayers for the country, as better days are ahead despite economic and security challenges.
Speaking at a five-day Gospel Crusade: “The Days of the Lord is at Hand”, organised by church at Abia State Polytechnic, Aba, Okah noted importance of continued prayers.
He said hosting the crusade in Aba was part of the strategy of the National President Pastor Sampson Igwe, to deepen the church in Nigeria.
“We have organised a similar crusade in Uyo, Port Harcourt, Calabar and Abuja, covering the different church territories in Nigeria. The crusade has been moving around territories, and its spiritual impact has been enormous,” he said.
“Here, the crusade has been remarkable. There has been healing, and God has been saving souls. We are seeing good governance because of prayers from the churches.”

“Things are difficult in Nigeria today, but with prayers and crusades like this, things will improve. God uses the word to liberate, save and heal. As the word goes forth, God perform miracles for people.”
Okah urged Christians to continue praying “because through prayers, God will revamp Nigeria’s economy.”
He said Christians should pray for government to succeed, noting many countries face one challenge or another.
“Better times are ahead by the grace of God. We are messengers of hope. We believe our prayers cannot be in vain. The Lord will answer our prayers, and testimony shall be our portion,” he noted.
The apostle advised Nigerians to seek God for comfort and relief: “The Lord is on the throne, and with prayers, He will bring about a turnaround to our situation soon.
“We should forsake our sins and return to God because He is the pillar of everything. He wants us to seek His face and pray in humility.
“Nigeria needs healing. Only God can provide it. we should pray for His intervention.”
The five-day crusade featured healings, deliverances, and music ministrations, attracting government officials and the clergy.
