At a time marked by uncertainty, broken promises and troubling leadership crises across the country, Macedonia Call Global Assembly is rallying Nigerians to a united act of faith; a national prayer for the country and its leaders.

The Presiding Apostle of the Assembly, Dr Osaren Emokpae, is calling on people across all walks of life to join a day of fasting and a special three-hour intercessory prayer session on Friday, June 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at their different faith centres and locations.

He said: “This is not the time for silence or indifference. Too much is at stake; from insurgencies in the North to unresolved political tensions in the South, particularly in Rivers State, the ongoing dispute in Edo State between the Oba of Benin and his Enogies to the anxiety surrounding the looming threat of demolitions at the centre in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). So also are the ongoing wars between Israel and its neighbours, as well as that between Ukraine and Russia. We are witnessing a nation and indeed a world in need of divine intervention. It is time to take our burden to the altar.”

Referencing 1 Timothy 2:1-2, Dr Emokpae reminded Nigerians of the scriptural mandate to pray for those in authority, not as a passive act, but as a proactive step towards peace and stability.

He said: “So much has been happening around the country and its leadership that is quite disheartening. We must lift our leaders in prayers, even when we don’t agree with them, because what happens at the top affects us all. We are praying for wisdom, courage, and integrity in our leadership. But we are also praying against the forces, both seen and unseen, that thrive on chaos and fear.”
