Hardship: PFN Asks FG To Tackle Food Crisis, Declares 40 Days Prayers by Racoon(op): 9:54am On Nov 09, 2024
The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has urged the federal government to immediately declare war on food insecurity as part of measures to cushion the effects of hardship on the citizenry.

National President of the PFN, Bishop Francis Wale Oke, made this known at the end of the executive meeting of the fellowship yesterday in Abuja, expressing faith that God will lead Nigeria out of its current challenges into prosperity.

He said the PFN has declared 40 days of prayer and fasting to address the hardship facing the country and that the meeting was part of activities of its upcoming 18th biennial conference scheduled to take place in Abuja from February 10 to 14, 2025, with the theme: ‘The Rebirth of a Great Nation: Nigeria is Great’.

“We are mobilising all Pentecostal churches, believers in Christ, charismatic churches and everyone who loves God, to cry out to Him on behalf of our nation. When judgment was pronounced on Nineveh, the king and people cried out for mercy, and God heard their prayers. We believe that the same God who delivered Nineveh is alive and will hear our cry,”
Oke said.

He said the 40-day prayer and fasting which would begin on January 6 and end on February 14, will be followed with a national gathering in Abuja, where Pentecostal leaders will come together to pray for mercy upon the nation, government at all levels, and on all Nigerians.

He said, “This period of prayer and fasting is a key aspect of our biennial conference. We believe God will answer our prayers.”
Deputy Vice President of PFN, Arc. John Praise Daniel, highlighted the PFN’s commitment to Nigeria’s peace and progress.

The same way they hailed on the disastrous policies of the catastrophic Buhari's govt and sat idle watching another man desecrate the christian faith in amassing fake agbadorian bishops to legitimize his fraudulent ascension.

Hold government to accountability and responsibility, but these political charlatan in cassocks are calling for prayers for heartless and wicked politicians who don't give a damn about how abysmal the country become.

Prayers does not provide good governance. Good responsible and accountable leadership does.The govt should be held accountable for its actions and inactions.God was not elected. So the wicked people in government should be held to accountability and responsibility. Senselessness called religiosity

Prayer is also part of the solution.

Those who have been relying on only prayer without taking action have been disappointed by God.

Good initiative by PFN

You cant entrench criminals with no iota of accountable and responsible leadership in government and then asked for prayers for good governance. No way! The process determines how well the country progresses

God does NOT answer prayers of an abominable nation. Nigeria is a crime scene and PFN is part of the rogues in Nigeria. Stealing people's wealth in different guises.

Jesus was a Humanitarian, who fed thousands without collecting offerings. Our PFN members cannot sacrifice their collections to feed the poor, rather they will cajole the poor to donate to them so that God will bless them. Conversely, they drive exotic cars and acquire mansions, private jets, etc.
They tell their followers that Jesus is Coming Soon, yet they are building mega churches. Who are they building churches for, when Jesus is on His way?

40 Days what?!!

Hunger strike on top hunger crisis! SMH!!!

Democracy is killing Nigerians... Religion will finish you people patapata!


Would it be bad if PFN, CAN, and other religious organisations team up to provide welfare packages for poor Nigerians during this phase?

Each state can set up food banks and soup kitchens to cater to at least 100,000 people with one meal a day.

This won't be enough, but it would be a start.

Food insecurity is a serious issue that needs urgent attention.
But it’s part of Tinubu’s eight point agenda he promised to resolve between August 29, 2023 to July 28, 2026.

1. food security;
2. poverty eradication;
3. growth,
4. job creation;
5. access to capital;
6. inclusion;
7. rule of law; and
8. fighting corruption

Any progress update on the past 15 months since this agenda was drafted asides the frivolous prayers the government plans to organise? 🤷

A country so religious but fantastically corrupt.

What exactly are they fasting and praying for? God has already blessed Nigeria with sun and rain, moon and stars, Wonderful soil and weather.

They should be on the streets demanding for good governance, accountability, social justice and only leaders that cares about Nigeria should lead. No they won't! They want God to protest for them and kill all the corrupt leaders. Mtchw......
