The leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) have fixed Sunday December 7th as a day for all churches across Nigeria to offer special prayers against the activities of Boko Haram sect and also give special offering for victims of the various attacks.
In a statement signed by the General secretary of the association, Dr. Musa Asake, CAN asked Christians to pray for all who have been affected by the activities of Boko Haram irrespective of their religious affiliations. Find the statement after the cut...
"We are expected to offer special prayers, not just for our slain Christian brethren but for all those who lost their lives in the attacks, that the Almighty God will grant them eternal rest and through these prayers intervene in the challenges that the insurgency has brought to the countless number of families that have been directly or indirectly affected by the crisis. Pray that God will give us all the wisdom and strength to execute this task with minimal difficulty to the glory of God the Father.”
In our own houses and closet, even at places of work, let us seperate that day and pray for our nation. I can stree how important this is, both for the country and for you, and individual citizen in the country, especially as a christian. Let us pray for Peace in the nation. Let us pray for the forth coming elections in the counrty, Nigeria. Alot of threats of violence has been aired concerning the outcomes of the elections. Let us pray that God will surpress every instability brewing up for 2015 and scatter every plans for more killings and bloodshed as this elections come in earnest. The Lord will hear our prays in Jesus name, Amen.
