On May 13, 14, and 15, 2022, His Eminence, Rev. Dr. Samson Olasupo A. Ayokunle, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), kindly requests that all Church Leaders arrange a Solemn Assembly through their respective Churches to pray for Nigeria.
We are to fervently implore 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 my not violently collapse.
- That God would speak to our leaders to take the right steps in addressing the dangerous situations into which we have put ourselves.
- 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 God would continue to be with the electoral umpire, INEC, to stand firm without iota of partiality in making sure that elections are free and fair.
- That God should judge anyone out-rightly, who, out of selfishness is planning to create chaos in the forthcoming elections no matter how highly placed in the nation.
- That the electorates would come out and vote the right people into power, those who will make promises and fulfill them.
- That daily blood shedding of innocent people and other violent acts in Nigeria should be put to an end by our government and for divine intervention
- 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.
- That our generation would experience a new Nigeria where there are equity, justice and people irrespective of ethnic group, religion or political affiliation.
The Prayer is expected to hold simultaneously on all denominations, as we jointly seek the face of God concerning Nigeria.
