CAN Declares Three Days Prayers Against Killings, Banditry,
Others
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has declared
three days of prayers against insecurity and other problems in the land.
CAN National General Secretary, Daramola Joseph, announced
this in a circular dated May 11, 2021, and addressed to the leadership of the
Christian body at various levels.
He explained that the leadership of the association
considered the prayers important for God’s mercy and intervention in the
continued killings, banditry, terrorism, and other problems facing the country.
Noting that the prayers were scheduled to hold between May
28 and 30, Joseph hinted that all local churches were directed to gather in the
evening of each day.
He asked them to pray to God in the attitude of soberness
for the bloodshed of many innocent Nigerians.
The CAN listed some of the suggested prayer points to
include seeking forgiveness for sins committed by the church or Nigerians,
especially their leaders.
Another important point was a prayer for the speedy recovery
of Nigeria from all its losses to make it a nation everyone in the world would
love to be.
