Following the outbreak of the Ebola virus disease in the country, churches in Anambra State under the auspices of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) have raised prayer warriors to fight against the spread of the virus.

Bbriefing reporters on Friday at Gelly’s Gardens resort in Awka, the state chairman of Social Security Outreach (SSO), a political arm of (PFN), Evangelist Peter A.K Okoye, said very soon the virus would be a thing of the past.

He said with the efforts of the Federal and State governments and the combined prayers by the churches, that the battle would soon end.

Also, the chairman media group of (SSO), Pastor Emma Obiorah, told reporters in Awka yesterday that intercessors had been set up from different churches to checkmate the spread of the virus.

“Ebola is just a name given to one sickness out of many, but Christians have started praying that God will heal all, including the so called deadly virus,” he said.

Nonsense!

Why have they not raised prayer warriors against our looting politicians? May be because the politicians pay their tithes and donate generously to the pastors.

Stupidity abounds in this land. Why didnt they go to the hospital where the ebola victims are lying in wait for death and pray for them lets see if prayer will cure ebola..

I see this as another way to exploit the people by the time they start asking nigerians to support their prayers with cash, tithes and donations..This country is filled with dumb, gullible people..

And my people shall perish from ignorance! like my mom would say......what a pity!

Lol

Prayer is good but this is purely a medical issue o.

It is a welcome development.

may God hear their prayers

This is beyond foolishness!!

Nigeria and prayers. lol

That's what we seem to be able to do so well. America is searching for a cure. Some americans will donate to that cause. What are we doing? Searching for prayer warriors and probably enriching pastors... & begging America for the solution. I'm not pro America but you all know all great nations find solutions to their problems. Remind me, like how many years have we been praying about boko haram?

There is nothing IMPOSSIBLE for GOD..I believe in POSSIBILITIES..GREat nation 1 voice

Why not visit Siera Leone, Guinea or Liberia to showcase the efficacy of prayer?

Billygee2u: may God hear their players

prayer without action is?

May God have mercy

Wish we could find out what drug some pple are on Helping them would have been easier

Kikikikikiki

This is serious

White men find practical solutions to problems while black men run to churches and start shouting, "Holy Ghost fire". Even the Bible said, "Heaven helps those who help themselves". Our own "help" to ourselves is by running to church and mosques to ask for help; an irony.

No wonder that while pastors are flying in private jets, living in exotic mansions and rolling in expensive autos, the "flock" are busy pricing dunlop slippers at Yaba.

MrT2011:
