Thousands of members from the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) congregated in Abuja on Sunday for a prayer walk, seeking divine intervention for Nigeria’s current security and economic challenges.
Led by Pastor Tunde Benjamin Laniyi of RCCG Throne Room, Transcorp Abuja, the prayer walk is an annual event held by the RCCG, taking place in 190 countries globally, with this year’s theme titled “HEALING.”
During the prayer walk, Pastor Laniyi emphasized the belief that there is no challenge beyond divine intervention.
The congregation prayed for healing in the country and called on God to answer Nigeria’s pressing issues.
In his sermon, Pastor Laniyi urged Nigerians to continue praying for divine guidance for the country’s leaders, expressing confidence that through intercession, Nigeria would experience healing.
Former Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor (retired), who addressed the congregation, acknowledged the country’s prevailing security and economic challenges but emphasized hope.
He urged Nigerians, especially the youth, not to lose hope and encouraged them to believe in the nation.
Gen. Irabor emphasized that the youth play a crucial role in the country’s growth and success.
“My appeal to the youth is that they should not lose hope. They should have faith in our nation because the health of the country lies in their hands and it’s yet to be tapped, and we can succeed only when we look beyond the ordinary,” he said.
He added that Nigeria’s challenges are not significantly different from those encountered by other countries on their path to growth.
