By Victor Ofure Osehobo, Benin
National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Rev. Dr. Felix Omobude, has said that special prayers will soon be offered to God to help Nigeria overcome her pressing needs and problems.
Omobude, who is also General Superintendent of Gospel Light International Ministries (GLIM) – New Covenant Gospel Church, Benin City in a statement said the prayers are
for the country to overcome recession, terrorism, violence, crimes, kidnapping, corruption and other vices.
He said, “It is our expectation that Nigerians in particular and Nigeria as a whole will witness the mighty visitation of God during and after the convention as issues bothering on the welfare and safety of this nation as well as her progress and development will be handled in prayers.
“There shall be a harvest of miracles, signs and wonders. We have God’s assurance that the lame shall walk, the blind shall see, the deaf shall hear and the whole captives set free. There shall be healing galore for all manners of people and the church shall be strengthened,” Dr. Omobude added.
“Through prayers and supplications, we have triumphed against covid-19 and we have the hope that with God on our side, we shall also triumph over all the challenges presently bedevilling our dear nation”.
Meanwhile, the PFN President has charged the #EndSARS protesters nationwide to withdraw from the streets,since their agitations have reached the ears of the authorities in the country.
He said this is necessary as the genuine protesters have made their points loud and clear enough for those in authority to hear them and do the needful.
“You should stop your street protest for now to prevent the hoodlums who have hijacked the hitherto peaceful exercise to continue with their condemnable acts of criminalities which include vandalism, arson, looting, killing, rape, amongst others.
Dr. Omobude who condemned the shooting and alleged killing of some peaceful protesters by security agents, called on the military to thoroughly investigate the incident and bring perpetrators to book.
He commiserated with the families of all those who have lost their lives during the nationwide protest, calling on the government to ensure that their death are not in vain.
