Following a wave of insecurity in the country that has claimed many lives, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, is organising a crusade in Nasarawa State to pray to God on behalf of Nigeria.
According to reports, the ‘Light UP Nasarawa’ crusade will be held on May 13, 2022, at the Science School in Lafia.
Speaking shortly after an awareness rally in Lafia on Sunday, RCCG Pastor-in-Charge of Nasarawa Province 2, James Adegbite, expressed confidence that the General Overseer’s visit would put an end to Nigerians’ longings.
He said, “Nigerians have been facing issues of insecurity, poverty, unemployment, outbreak of diseases and other challenges but I strongly believe that when prayers are offered to God, he will intervene in our situation and restore all that we have lost.
“Whenever you hear of insurgency, communal clashes, breakdown in the society, it is probably because some of us have not been talking to God about our situation. So, our father in the Lord, who recently clocked 80 years old, has deem it fit to take up the responsibility through prayers.
“The General Overseer has been lending his voice to issues confronting the nation but he believes that complaining alone would not proffer solutions to our problems, that was why he decided to organise the Light UP Crusade taking place on the 13th of this month here in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital.
“He will also be going to other states in the country in this month of May to hold crusade because Nigeria has to experience steady growth and progress.
“So, I am urging everyone in Nasarawa State and other neighbouring states to join us as we pray for our country.”
It would be recalled that Pastor Adeboye had, on January 1, 2022, at his church in Ogun State, requested 1,000 prayer warriors to join him in praying for Nigeria because of the numerous challenges facing the nation.
