Alarm for National Intervention
Urgent Call to Prayer: Rev. Dr. Emmanuela Akoma Sounds the Alarm for National Intervention
The National Prayer Coordinator of the Christian Association of Igbo Ministers, Rev. Dr. Emmanuela Akoma, has issued a fervent call to prayer for Nigeria, citing the alarming rate of killings and violence across the nation. This appeal comes on the heels of rising insecurity, particularly in regions like Benue, Plateau, and Zamfara, where Christians are disproportionately affected.
The Cry for Prayer
Rev. Dr. Akoma's call to prayer echoes the sentiments of the International President of Christian Association of Igbo Ministers who recently declared a prayer the nation starting June , 2025, to seek divine intervention and solidarity for victims of violence. The prayer initiative aims to bring together Christians from all over the nation to cry out to God for protection, peace, and an end to the bloodshed.
Prayers for Protection and Restoration
Some key points of prayer include ¹ ²:
- Protection from Harm: Praying for God's shield and protection over innocent lives, particularly Christians facing persecution and violence.
- Restoration and Rebirth: Seeking God's miraculous intervention to restore hope and rebuild communities devastated by violence.
- Emotional Well-being: Praying for peace of mind and emotional healing for those affected by the crisis.
- Unity and Peace: Asking God to bring unity and peace to Nigeria, exposing and neutralizing evil agendas.
A Call to Action
Rev. Dr. Akoma's appeal emphasizes the need for collective prayer and action to address the nation's security challenges. Christians are encouraged to transform their homes into prayer altars, seeking God's intervention and protection. As Apostle Dr. Solomon Okorie, President of CAIM, once noted, "With prayers and supplication, Nigeria will come out victorious" ³.
Joining Hands in Prayer
In this critical moment, Nigerian Christians are urged to stand together in prayer, seeking God's mercy and intervention. Let us pray... May the Lord hear our prayers for our nation. Amen!
