The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called on Nigerians to embark on three days prayers over the increasing level of insecurity in the country.
The association made the call in a statement by its General Secretary, Daramola Bade in Abuja.
According to Bade, the directive was issued by CAN President, Rev. Samson Ayokunle.
“Organise a solemn assembly to pray for Nigeria on May, 13,14,and 15 2022.
“We are to passionately call upon the Lord to: show Nigeria mercy and divinely intervene in all affairs of our nation, especially economic, political and security matters so that the nation may not violently collapse.
“Two, that God would speak to our leaders to take the right steps in addressing the dangerous situations into which we have put ourselves.“Three that our political leaders will not set the nation on fire or tear it apart by their insensitive political actions which failed to take our complexities into consideration as we approach 2023 elections.
“That the Lord should show us mercy as a nation concerning the blood of innocent people already shed in this nation, that is calling upon God for vengeance.
“That God would cause the terrorists, the gunmen, the bandits, the kidnappers and other violent people in our midst to abandon their evil ways and give this nation respite.
“That God would give the military upper hand in subduing the terrorists and other violent people causing mayhem in our nation and that He would divinely fight for Nigeria against these evil people and their financiers,” Ayokunle said.
