National Prayer chain kicks off
The hugely anticipated National Prayer Chain Project finally kicked off on March 1, 2010 across Nigeria with citizens praying at the various watch hours of the day.
There could not be a better time to kick off the project than these trying times for the nation as she clocks the fifty year mark this year.
Flagging off the project, the initiator, Fela Durotoye had said, “We agree that Nigeria's been going through some trying and turbulent times. We can decide to be SPECTATORS of our nation's plight, COMMENTATORS of the constant unfolding of our politics or PARTICIPANTS; who will actively take a part in determining the fate of Nigeria. WE WILL PRAY AND ACT!”
The nation’s foremost nation builder recognises 2010 as “the year of Jubilee…the year of liberty” and notes that “the Scripture says "that if my people will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven and heal their land”
He enjoined Nigerians to pray for the peace of the nation stressing that the children of Israel stayed in bondage for an extra 30 years because they had not prayed to Him; even though God had said they would be in Egypt for 400 years.
The National Prayer Chain Project (managed by Visible Impact Limited) is centered around the second stanza of the Nigerian national anthem which Durotoye, fondly called FD, refers to as “a nationally legislated prayer”.
“Oh God of Creation
Direct our noble cause
Guide our leaders' right
Help our youth, the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
And living just and true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation
Where peace and justice shall reign”
“WHAT IF GOD ANSWERED THIS PRAYER?” he asked, “what would happen if all the elements of this prayer could be answered?”
Nigeria will UNDOUBTEDLY BECOME THE WORLD'S MOST DESIRABLE NATION TO LIVE IN. God has given a Word over Nigeria that "by December 31, 2025, Nigeria will be, undoubtedly, become the world's most desirable nation to live in"
Join us to pray this at different watch hours: Midnight, 3am, 6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm
