YESTERDAY AT THE DAY 3 OF THE PFN NATIONAL CALL TO PRAYER. A CALL TO UNITY & INTERCESSION FOR THE NATION The heart of our message was clear, the Church must stand together and Interceed for Nigeria.

The killings in this country , the kidnappings are the work of evil men with dead consciences . There is a God in heaven who will judge them . There is a God in heaven who rules amongst men , He will judge them speedily!

BREAKING: PFN Lagos holds public walk and protest against the killing of Nigerian Christians by Islamic terrorists. The PFN is acting. Thank you to the leadership!

The cries of persecuted Christians are rising to heaven day and night. In many villages, believers no longer sleep peacefully. Mothers hide their children in fear. Fathers stay awake through the night praying that armed men will not break into their homes before morning. Some Christians walk to church not knowing if they will ever return alive. Yet they still carry their Bibles. They still worship Jesus. They still kneel and pray. How painful it is that many believers are being killed simply for calling upon the name of Christ. Innocent blood is being poured out while the world remains silent. Churches are turned into graveyards. Children are left without parents. Pregnant women are murdered before seeing the children they carried with hope. 😭 But even in this suffering, the words of Jesus remain true: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:10 The enemy may burn buildings, but he cannot burn the gospel. He may destroy bodies, but he cannot destroy the souls that belong to Jesus Christ. The early disciples were beaten, imprisoned, and killed, yet the Church continued to grow because the power of God cannot be silenced. ✝️🔥 This is the time for Christians around the world to wake up, pray, and stand together. The body of Christ is bleeding. When one believer suffers, the whole Church suffers with them. We cannot become comfortable while our brothers and sisters are dying for their faith. 🙏 Jesus taught us: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13 To every persecuted Christian reading this: hold onto Jesus. Even when tears fall from your eyes, heaven is counting every single one of them. God has not abandoned you. Your suffering is not in vain. One day, every hidden pain will become a crown of glory before the throne of God. “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” — 2 Corinthians 4:17

Day 8 in captivity 💔 #rescueoriire school kids and teachers now🥹🥹 Oyo state government Federal government 🙏🏼🤲🏽 This is getting serious now I can’t imagine how the little kids are coping in captivity (a year old, 2 years old ahhh) 🥹🥹

Why is it not a national emergency that students and teachers were kidnapped from their schools have been in the bush for over a week now ⁉️‼️ One of the teachers was beheaded on camera. There is a 2-year old child there ⁉️ Why is there no outcry ⁉️‼️ Have we gotten so used to bad news⁉️

If you’re going to share images of Mr. Michael Oyedokun, share the ones that his family put out. Give that man dignity in death, at the very least.

Look at the fear and pain written across this man’s face in the final moments before he was beheaded by bandits. Tell me… is this how a human being is supposed to die? What was his crime? Was it simply trying to provide daily bread for his family? He left home like every other Nigerian, hoping to return alive. He never knew the journey would end in horror, tears, and bloodshed. At that moment, I can only imagine the thoughts running through his mind… His wife… His children… His unfinished dreams… His cry for mercy that probably never came. 😭 Our elders say the jollof rice served at burials tastes sweet until the fire is burning in your own compound. Today, it is someone else’s pain. Tomorrow, it could be ours if this evil continues unchecked. And the pain does not end with him. More than 45 innocent people are still being held in the forest by these wicked men. Some are only 4 or 5 years old. Little children who should be sleeping safely beside their mothers are now surrounded by fear, hunger, and terror. For days, many of them have not eaten a decent meal. Many have been beaten, tortured, humiliated. And the women and young girls… only God knows the horrors they are facing in captivity. 💔 My heart breaks for them. My heart breaks for the hundreds of students abducted in Borno State just days ago. My heart breaks for the thousands of Nigerians trapped in kidnappers’ dens across this nation while the world watches in silence. Nigeria is bleeding. Families are crying. Children are becoming orphans overnight. Mothers are burying their sons. Wives are becoming widows in a single phone call. “How long, O Lord? Will You forget us forever?” — Psalm 13:1 But even in this darkness, we hold onto God’s promise: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 🙏 One day, this season of bloodshed and tears shall pass. One day, God will wipe away the tears of His people. One day, peace will return again.

WHEN MERCY SPEAKS, DESTINY ANSWERS 👑 People look at us today and wonder… why must it be him? why must it be her? The answer is simple: Mercy. Many have done more, labored harder, and qualified better; yet the mercy of God amplifies even the little, and sets a man ahead beyond natural explanations. And I see that same Mercy speaking over your life in the mighty name of Jesus. “I want you to pack aside your qualifications, and right and subscribe under mercy.” This is the mystery; when mercy speaks, history is rewritten. Backgrounds lose their voice, limitations lose their hold, and destiny steps forward unapologetically. Just like Solomon, a story that didn’t look like a throne, yet mercy enforced a crown. There’s so much God is saying in this message. Listen to the full message on YouTube and step into what mercy is making available for you.👏🎉

When you pray, pray for an abundance mindset. To receive and give freely. To see money as a tool, not the destination. To know that value attracts wealth. That money will never make you compromise your values. That your joy won’t be tied to possessions. And that you will be surrounded by people who think beyond lack.

To the Church in the North of Nigeria, To our brothers and sisters in Borno State, Plateau State, Kaduna State, Benue State, Yobe State, and every hidden fellowship where the Name of JESUS CHRIST is whispered through tears. Grace to you, and peace from GOD our FATHER and from the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Many of us do not know what it is to hear gunshots while singing hymns. Many of us do not know what it is to gather for worship not knowing who will return home. Many of us do not know what it is to bury a husband because he refused to renounce CHRIST. Many of us do not know what it is to hold a child who asks, “Why did they kill Daddy for going to church?” But you know. You know what it is to kneel beside ashes where your sanctuary once stood. You know what it is to search for familiar faces after the attack. You know what it is to dig graves with hands still wet with tears. You know what it is to sing, “It Is Well with My Soul,” while your world is collapsing. And still you worship. Still you gather. Still you pray. Still you preach. Still you declare, “JESUS is LORD.” Beloved, we are undone by your faith. While many of us in the West, the East, and the South of Nigeria pursue comfort and become distracted by lesser things, you are proving with your blood that CHRIST is better than life. When your churches are burned, you become living temples. When your Bibles are taken, the WORD rises from your hearts. When your pastors are killed, the Gospel is preached by widows, by children, by farmers, by ordinary saints whose only sermon is this: “CHRIST is worth everything.” Your tears preach. Your scars preach. Your graves preach. Your endurance thunders across this nation louder than any conference, crusade, or cathedral. You are telling all of Nigeria that JESUS CHRIST is not a slogan. HE is a treasure worth dying for. And so We are ashamed that we have loved convenience more than CHRIST. We are ashamed that we have feared insults more than you have faced bullets. We are ashamed that we have complained about small discomforts while you cling to CHRIST in the valley of the shadow of death. And we are grateful. Grateful that GOD has raised among us men and women who show us what genuine Christianity looks like. Grateful that your faith calls us to repentance. Grateful that your steadfastness awakens sleeping churches. Our Prayer is LORD, give us Their courage. Give us Their conviction. Give us their love for CHRIST. Give us their willingness to lose everything and still sing. Give us hearts that treasure JESUS above houses, lands, reputation, and life itself. And for you, beloved sufferers, we pray: May GOD sit with every widow in the silence of the night. May CHRIST reveal HIMSELF to every orphan who wonders why this happened. May the HOLY SPIRIT strengthen every pastor Afraid. May angels encamp around every village. May the fields you fled one day be filled again with songs of harvest and praise. May the blood of the martyrs become seed. May those who murdered your loved ones be conquered by the Gospel. May former persecutors become preachers. May the same grace that transformed Paul the Apostle visit your enemies. And when you grow weary, remember this: Every wound will be healed. Every injustice will be answered. Every faithful saint will receive a crown. The day is coming when no church will burn. No child will hide in fear. No widow will mourn. No gun will sound. No terrorist will threaten. No grave will open except to release the redeemed. On that day, you will stand before the throne clothed in white. And the LORD JESUS HIMSELF will wipe away your tears. HE will show you the scars in HIS hands. HE will call your suffering light and momentary. HE will place upon your heads the crown of life. And all Heaven will know that you counted CHRIST worthy. Until that day, stand firm. When your knees tremble, stand. When your eyes are full of tears, stand.
