The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has called on Christians not to relent in offering intercessory prayers to God for Nigeria, saying this will enable the nation to overcome its challenges.
Kumuyi, who quoted several passages from the Holy Bible to buttress his point, spoke during a sermon titled, “Passionate prayer by the godly for the nation.”
He was addressing a large number of leaders of the church at its headquarters in Gbagada, Lagos. The sermon was transmitted live across the entire country and beyond.
The sermon was meant to prepare the leaders and members of the church for the visit of Nigeria Prays team to the headquarters of the church on Sunday November 29, a day earmarked to pray for the nation.
The Nigeria Prays team is founded and headed by a former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, retd.
Kumuyi said, “You can see Daniel became concerned for Israel and the capital city, Jerusalem. Consequently, he set himself to pray. As we pray, wait on the Lord and make supplication for our nation, the Lord will answer the prayer.
“There are a number of great things God can do when intercessors pray for their nation. Abraham prayed for Sodom and Gomorrah, Moses interceded and prayed for a whole nation of Israel. God answered Moses. For our nation, God will answer us, and for the people who are suffering and perishing, God will save them.
The cleric expressed the belief that whatever spiritual power that was troubling the nation “in the water, sky and forest” could be defeated an
