In a bid to end incessant killings in the country, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, is expected to lead of the church in a prayer walk today.

The prayer walk is expected to start at about 10 a.m. and the general overseer and other leaders of the church are expected to lead the procession from the church’s national headquarters in Ebute-Meta, Lagos State.

Adeboye had previously directed all of the church to participate in the prayer and fasting programme as well as the prayer walk declared by the Christian Association of Nigeria to address a spate of killings across the country.

CAN President, Dr Samson Ayokunle, had announced that the prayer and fasting session which started on Friday was aimed at praying to God to end the killing of innocent Nigerians and give the government the capacity to overcome the criminals troubling the nation.

The association’s position came barely four days after Boko Haram executes the Chairman of CAN in Michika Local Government, Adamawa State, Pastor Lawan Andimi, who was abducted by the insurgents on January 3 and subsequently killed despite being offered a N50m ransom.

Ayokunle had announced that apart from the three-day prayer session, Christians would also embark on what he called a special prayer walk in all states on February 2.

Adeboye, in a memo dated January 29 and signed by the Assistant General Overseer, istration and Personnel, Pastor Johnson Odesola, asked to seize the opportunity of the programme to pray against the killing of innocent people in the country.

He also directed that church services should end early in all the parishes to enable to take part in the walk which he said should hold within the immediate environment of the churches.

The memo read, “The Christian Association of Nigeria, the umbrella body of all Christians and Christian organisations in Nigeria, has made a clarion call for prayers and advocacy to all Christians in Nigeria in response to the inhuman acts against Christians in the country.

“The General Overseer has therefore directed that all of the RCCG should participate in this prayer and advocacy with details as stated below;

“Prayer and fasting scheduled from January 31 to February 2, 2020. Since RCCG is currently on a fasting and praying programme, the prayer focus within this period should be against the gruesome killing of innocent people in the country and prayer for the government to develop the capacity to overcome the criminals troubling the nation.

“All parishes of RCCG are ened to close the thanksgiving service early on Sunday (latest by 11 am) and have march around their immediate environment, praying for God’s intervention in the ongoing situation in Nigeria.

“Parishes with functional social media handles are ened to publicise this prayer and advocacy using appropriate captions and hashtags.”

Ayokunle had, while announcing the prayer and fasting programme, claimed that Christians had become endangered species in Nigeria.

Apart from the case of Andimi, he also cited the case of Rev Denis Bagauri, who was murdered by gunmen in his residence at Mayo Belwa, Adamawa State, and the beheading of 11 Christians, including a bride-to-be, by Islamic State in West Africa on Christmas Day in Maiduguri to buttress his point that Christians are mostly targets of the attacks.

He also mentioned the case of four seminarians of the Good Shepherd Catholic Seminary in Kakau who were kidnapped along Kaduna-Abuja Road recently.

He had said, “The CAN leadership has declared January 31 to February 2, 2020, as days for special fasting and prayer for Nigeria in all churches, home and abroad, for the gruesome killing of innocent Nigerians to stop and for our government to develop the capacity to overcome the criminals troubling the nation.

“February 2, 2020, is declared a special prayer walk by Christians in all the states in the form of a procession to be led by state CAN chairmen in their secretariats and pastors of churches in all churches in Nigeria.

“Churches should walk around their area, pray for God’s permanent intervention and help from all over the world so that all of us might not be consumed one by one.

“It appears our government is completely overwhelmed. The brutality of Nigerians is happening unabated daily.

“All bloc leaders, zonal and states chairmen, leaders of denominations and all Christians and concerned Nigerians should and come out en-mass for the programme.

“The church is matching on and the gate of hell shall not prevail against it!”

Hmm.

Dear Daddy G.O,




If you like, lead them to the wilderness in Chibok for prayers, it won't change anything.

You would have been resting by now, but your involvement during the 2015 elections is the reason why you're doing this prayer walk.

You better Walk Alone.

why not pray to the Jewish god to interfere? oh! I forgot! the Jewish god only cares about the Jews and couldn't care less about some black skinned humans located off the coast of West Africa. which is why he quickly sent plagues to Egypt when his beloved people were enslaved but didn't do anything when it's your forefathers

After walking, will it change Bulharis incompetence?

Even if Bulhari stands tomorrow and declare Nigeria an Islamic state, nothing will happen. Some Idiots will start defending him and another Chunk of idiots that supposed to revolt will rather pray and the remaining will just sit hopelessly and watch

Prayer walk indeed

"all these church going negroes,always singing and praying,praying and singing,they all wanna go to heaven but none of them wanna die"

chuose:
May God punish Adeboye & Mbaka for making us vote in this man

YorubaNinja:
Adeboye and Oyedepo... foolish guys wey wan enjoy earthly riches yet, want to make heaven..

To both of you and your fellow evil and corruption ers, like that Ibori er above,
Becareful what you say about men of God.
These are not your average celebrities you type trash about on a daily basis.
Watch your mouth.
It is dangerous!!

dvkot:
#Word.
I just pity those talking trash about men of God.

We pity them also

Tospringe:

He (Adeboye) welcomed him (PMB) to his office not church.
Besides, did you expect Adeboye to chase him away ?
However, Oyedepo welcomed Jonathan to his church.
Why are you quiet about that ?

Sir, You asked that kid a very good question!
Most times, they are better left alone tho.

UPDATE : Walking the walk for a better and more better Nigeria.......

Adeboye and Oyedepo... foolish guys wey wan enjoy earthly riches yet, want to make heaven..

Lol

Someone said PDP paid them 500 naira each.

Prayers alone don't solve problems of a Nation. Infact prayers has never solved problems of any nation. We keep praying and praying without action. Just look at Muslims, they know how to fight their battles.

Ok

continue trekking...you will need it

Where is Leke

He will be untop of one choir member by now.

And he needs the walk the most so he can lose those fats in his mouth he uses to ask for tithe and first seed.

When you are ready to make real change come lead a peaceful protest.... All this one na just wash

B

Will Osinbajo too? Daddy GO Sha anointed him as a Pastor.

Moreover, if holy spirit lead Adeboye to protest why didn't the same holy spirit lead others to them to protest?

Or did other church Pastors subscribe to another holy spirit bundle...

Will Osibanjo be there too? During elections, he is addressed as Pastor just to deceive gullible Christains to vote for Major General Bubu. If he is truely a redeemed Pastor, he should his Daddy G.O.

Protest against the government not pray. God that will come down and solve this insecurity crisis, he has nothing to do with it. It is man made and it's men themselves that will devise mediums and strategies to curb it.

Our pastors are gradually becoming charlatans . Can't believe you will walk in prayers for insecurity crisis, when we are suppose to lead a protest to this helpless, oblivious and insincere government . Tell them to wake up and do the needful by changing the service chiefs and strengthen our defense and security system and architecture

Adeboye welcomed Buhari into his church when he was soliciting for votes, go to him with your Protestants and wake him up, to wake up from his slumber

He should have done that in Abuja
Not Lagos!!!
Fear who no fear Mr lifeless

We need to turn things around

Better o but shey buhari even cares

Wake up

Prayers doesn't solve the problems of a Nation... People do.

As a Nigerian you should know this.. We've been praying since yet we have absolutely nothing to show for it..

When your papa is ready for real change. Let him lead a mass protest against the govt. Papa is almost like a god in Nigeria. If he calls for a peaceful protest more than 50 million Nigerians will him. Anything other than a protest is just a waste of time

Okay

Idiot

"all these church going negroes,always singing and praying,praying and singing,they all wanna go to heaven but none of them wanna die"

See if you guys like pray from now till next year, so far your president is a dullard and doesn’t know what to do about the security of these nation, your prayers won’t do anything ... Buhari is just there and doesn’t know what he’s doing... Happy Sunday though

Ok. It is noted.

hope after this walk you'll not ask for tithe and first fruit
