The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, has charged the Federal Government to immediately declare war on food insecurity in the country. This is as part of measures to cushion the effects of hardship Nigerians are going through of late.
This was disclosed by the PFN National President, Bishop Francis Wale Oke. He stated this at the end of the executive meeting of the fellowship on Friday in Abuja.
Bishop Oke, however, expressed faith that God will lead Nigeria out of its current challenges into prosperity.
The National President pointed out that the PFN has declared 40 days of prayer and fasting to address the hardship facing the country. He stated that the meeting was part of activities in its upcoming 18th biennial conference scheduled to take place in Abuja from February 10 to 14, 2025. The President noted that the theme of the conference is: ‘The Rebirth of a Great Nation: Nigeria is Great’.
He said, “We are mobilizing all Pentecostal Churches, believers in Christ, charismatic Churches and everyone who loves God. To cry out to Him on behalf of our nation. When judgment was pronounced on Nineveh, the king and people cried out for mercy. And God heard their prayers. We believe that the same God who delivered Nineveh is alive and will hear our cry.”
The National President said the 40-day prayer and fasting which would begin on January 6 and end on February 14. It will be followed with a national gathering in Abuja, where Pentecostal leaders will come together to pray for mercy upon the nation. They will also pray for government at all levels, and on all Nigerians.
“This period of prayer and fasting is a key aspect of our biennial conference. We believe God will answer our prayers,” Oke said
Deputy Vice President of PFN, Arc. John Praise Daniel, highlighted the PFN’s commitment to Nigeria’s peace and progress.
