The Lagos State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN,
has called for prayers to stop killings by herdsmen.
The Chairman of the chapter, Apostle Alexander Bamgbola, said said
this in Lagos on Thursday during a press conference organised by the
body to announce its coming 2018 annual Inter-denominational Divine
Service, tagged 'Humility in service.'
He said God's intervention was needed to bring an end to the attacks.
The cleric noted that the programme would enable Christians to gather
to pray against challenges faced by the state.
He said, "Prayers for our land are very paramount. There's no
challenge confronting the state that cannot be surmounted with
prayers. Every situation of the country requires prayers and that is
why we want to urge all the Christian faithful under the umbrella of
CAN to attend the thanksgiving.
"We are not happy with the recent killings by herdsmen; such
happenings cannot be confronted with a violent approach. This
underscores the need for Christians to pray to God.
"There is no stronghold in the nation that God cannot pull down
through prayers. I enjoin all Christians to attend the programme of
great worship to God and corporate prayers for a better Lagos and
Nigeria at large.
"The previous editions of the programme has done tremendous good to
Lagos State, as investors and new businesses have come into our state
and there are many more in progress."
