Pastor Toye Ebijomore, the General Overseer of The God’s Anointed And Blessed Church International, has issued a solemn appeal to the federal government and the Nigerian populace, emphasizing the urgent need for a national prayer to address the country’s mounting challenges.
In his statement, Pastor Ebijomore called on President Bola Tinubu to lead the nation in convening a unified national prayer session. He expressed concerns over alleged plans by certain individuals to instigate unrest across the country, urging the government to bolster security measures to prevent potential crises.
Speaking to journalists, the clergyman explained the spiritual and practical importance of this initiative, stating:
“As I reflect on our nation’s challenges, I firmly believe that this national prayer is crucial for our collective well-being. It will enable us to come together, seek divine guidance, and work towards a brighter future. I envision a Nigeria where unity, peace, and prosperity thrive, and I believe this prayer is a vital step towards achieving that vision.”
Pastor Ebijomore stressed that sincerity, humility, and courage are essential for addressing the country’s multifaceted issues. He expressed confidence that through divine intervention and collaborative efforts, Nigeria could overcome its current struggles and emerge stronger.
Drawing inspiration from other nations, he urged Nigeria to adopt similar practices to foster national unity and spiritual renewal.
“Since we desire Nigeria to be in the comity of great nations, and as we learn democracy from countries like America and Great Britain, we should also emulate their tradition of national prayer. Events such as America’s National Prayer Day, the US National Prayer Breakfast, or Australia’s National Prayer Breakfast reveal the secret of the Lord’s guidance in their success.”
Pastor Ebijomore’s call highlights the critical role of faith and unity in navigating Nigeria’s complex socio-political landscape. As the country faces various challenges, his message underscores the potential of spiritual and communal efforts to bring about meaningful change.
