Christian Association, CAN Says Nigerians Should Celebrate Easter With Fasting, Prayer

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), in Oyo State, has urged all their members to celebrate Good Friday with fasting and prayers for the betterment of the country.

The Oyo State CAN Chairman, Apostle Joshua Akinyemiju, made the remark in his Good Friday message, made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday in Ibadan.

Good Friday is the day in which Christians commemorate the death and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

He added that similarly, the God Almighty must also be appreciated for His love for mankind.

“It is important on Good Friday to reflect on the suffering of Jesus Christ on the day and love of God for His creations. We can then share the pain and reciprocate that wonderful love of the Father by being faithful to Him through implicitly obedience of all His commandments.

“In our fasting and prayer, we should hand over Nigeria and its leadership at all levels to God for direction and guidance towards peace, security and economic revival.

“May the Lord help to appreciate the sacrifice and reciprocate the love,” he said.

Akinyemiju remarks that Good Friday is the day in which the church also commemorates everything from Christ’s condemnation to His passion, crucifixion and death.

“According to Heb 12: 2, Good Friday is a day that Jesus Christ endured the Cross knowing it will lead to His resurrection, our salvation and the beginning of God’s reign of righteousness and peace.

“For Christians, Good Friday is an important day of the year because it celebrates what we believe to be the most momentous weekend in the history of mankind.

“Ever since Jesus died and was raised, Christians have proclaimed the Cross and resurrection of Jesus to be a decisive turning point for all creation,” the Oyo CAN Chairman said.

Christian Association, CAN Says Nigerians Should Celebrate Easter With Fasting, Prayer🙏

Good Friday is the day in which Christians commemorate the death and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

CAN has spoken, but people should be left to do the things of God as they please. The Bible is there as a guideline to the Worship of the Father in Spirit and Truth, and no man's words is the guideline for worshipping God.
Religious stupidity often develops because many Christians believe the words of their religious leaders too much to question the validity and even when they are contradicted to the Bible.
Christians mustn't fast during Easter.Every man should do as his spirit moves him.

I will fast till 12 for Nigeria and myself.

May Nigeria keep on favouring Nigerians

Praying since 1960. No results

😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣



Is like craze dey worry una.....who fasting help?


So we should be praying for our leaders abi? Thunder fire una mouth there.

Praying for criminals who doesn't think about the masses , but their pockets abi? Ogun kill una there.

Does Israel pray for solution , when they were attack by Hamas? They went all out. So we should be praying for insecurities to stop, by not doing the necessary abi? Shopono kill una there.

Anyway, I won't blame una, na the brainwashed people wey still dey give una money , all in the name of tithes.

I'll never fast because there's Easter because Easter is a time for celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ our lord and savior...

Nigerians on fasting mode since APC get to power. Who among us dey eat 3 square meal?

Dollar is coming down put prices of goods and items are skyrocketing. Who do we offend?

There is already hunger in the land. Let the poor breath

How Long.

We Catholics have been fasting since Ash Wednesday.

Lazy youth all you know is to dance with another person's wife in the church all in the name of worshiping.

Christians really need to wake up and face realities of life.

May God heal our land through the power of His resurrection.

With the current hardship and economic situation in the country, where the average person cannot afford three square meal. What kind of fasting so you expect?

So we should fast on Easter day?






This Tinubu lapdogs sef!



Thank God Catholic Church doesn't fast on Sundays

APC is truly a curse to this country. I can remember back in the day as a child growing up families used to slaughter Chicken, goats with rice & 'Easter Stew' on Easter Sundays.
Even an average family could afford it without breaking a sweat.
Now about 20 years later, this is what we are hearing.

APC
BULABA
NIGERIAN LEADERS
RELIGION (ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY)

ARE ALL SCAM!!!

This fasting sha go favour who wey no get food to chop before

Pastors are waking up dead bodies while allah couldn't wake Muhammad stinky and rotted body's up


Sahih Bukhari 3667

Narrated ‘Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-‘Aliya) ‘Umar stood up and said, “By Allah! Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) is not dead!” ‘Umar (later on) said, “By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that.” He said, “Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men.” Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), kissed him and said, “Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)), you are good in life and in death.

I had good intentions of fasting for my country until midday when I saw my shadow eating indomie delicious.

There was no food to even eat.
FG sent us to a compulsory fasting.

You are just like the children of Israelites who opposed Moses. They said the camp is holy, why should Moses impose himself on them . Who made him leader when everyone can hear from God ?
Institutions are established for a reason, leaders are known for a purpose. If you won't do their bidding, do it quietly and don't try to convince others. Even in circular world there are leaders and you don't question them for their worldly decisions let alone in the house of God

This is how you know that CAN is an imposter body.
A "Christian" organization that doesn't know the true meaning of Easter.
Even if you were fasting personally for a particular favor, Easter is such a powerful day of celebration that you get to eat and make merry if you can.

As if them no knw say hunger dey roam round d country


Na dis morning my wife remind me say 2moro na easther
I almost went back to bed


Well,i bring u good tidins this easther,
May all who beleives in life after death
May our lord God guides and protect us from these evil days
Amen
