PFN To Christians: Be More Vigilant, Prayerful

Bishop Francis Wale Oke, President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), urged Christians across the country to be more vigilant and prayerful before, during, and after the Easter celebrations on Friday.

Oke also called on the federal government to establish a security mechanism that “will further ensure the safety of lives and property of Nigerians, especially Christians in the northern part of the country,” in a statement commemorating this year’s Easter celebrations.

 

The cleric stressed in a statement issued by his media office in Ibadan that it had become critical for the government to focus its resources on combating the rising cases of murder, rape, abduction, and insurgency in the region.

“Security issues should be everyone’s business, which is why we must all learn to take precautions,” the statement said. As a result, in addition to whatever security measures are in place on the field, we must all remain alert and pray.

Enough with the bloodshed in our country; Nigeria will be freed from the clutches of the bad guys.

“If we really love one another, the spirit of the Easter Celebration would be significant. For you and me to have eternal life, our Lord Jesus Christ died and rose again.

Before it is too late, all perpetrators of evil in our country should repent. No sinner should perish in his or her sins, according to Jesus.

“Learn to express love rather than hate as Christians. We can only conquer the universe through love. For us to evangelize, love is the most important tool.”
