The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has declared a 40-day national prayer, fasting, and praise programme to seek divine intervention in curbing the country’s current economic hardships.
In a statement on Sunday, the PFN’s national secretariat said the spiritual exercise was necessitated by the country’s challenging situation and the need for God’s mercy and guidance.
“Having prayerfully considered the general situation of our nation and the efforts of our leaders to make life better, it is clear that we need urgent divine intervention,” the statement read.
“The 40-day programme, coordinated by PFN’s Directorate of Intercession and Prayer under Rev. Dr. Mercy Ezekiel, will involve believers from all states across the country, with each state allocated a specific day for focused fasting and prayer.
“A detailed prayer guide has also been provided to ensure uniformity in the exercise.
The PFN Biennial Conference, themed “The Rebirth of a Great Nation,” will be held in Abuja. A national colloquium will precede the conference on Monday, February 10, 2025, at the Yaradua Conference Centre, Abuja.
PFN President Bishop Wale Oke urged all Nigerians to participate in the programme, emphasising that sincere repentance and prayer can lead to national rebirth.
“Our God shall be merciful to us. He shall hear our prayer, heal our land, and make all things new for Nigerians,” he said.
