The Christian Association of Nigeria, has raised the alarm over the persistence of wickedness and acts of evil in the country saying such acts have plagued the country and prevented the country from progressing.
The President of CAN and Founder of Word of Life Bible Church, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, therefore called on Nigerians to embark on a three days fasting and prayers simultaneously in all places of worship to atone for sins committed before God.
According to him, the prayers expected to hold simultaneously in churches and places of worship in all states and Local Governments in Nigeria shall commence on Friday, Oct. 17 and end on Sunday Oct. 19.
The Cleric in a statement which he personally signed and obtained by THE PUNCH on Wednesday in Abuja said the prayers and fasting became necessary due to the persistence of wickedness and acts “that have plagued our dear nation and is preventing the full rain of blessings on our land.”
He said, “On behalf of CAN, I wish to draw the attention of brothers and sisters in the Lord to the persistence of wickedness and acts that have plagued our dear nation and is preventing the full rain of blessings on our land.
“These acts, as we should have been aware, are not normal and ordinary to some of us and therefore calls for action on our part as spiritual leaders. It is against this background that I call on the Nigerian christian community to embark on a three-day national fasting and prayer programme for peace and unity in Nigeria and for effectual prayers that the wickedness of the wicked come to an end and the rain of blessings to fall on Nigeria.”
