Nigerian Christians: Steadfast Faith Amidst Unrelenting Persecution
Our brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria are enduring horrific persecution simply for their unwavering faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Recent discussions highlight the urgent need for action and prayer as the global body of believers stands with them.
- Who: Christian believers in Nigeria, facing attacks from Fulani militants and other perpetrators.
- Where: Across Nigeria, with particular intensity in the Middle Belt region.
- What happened: Christians are being subjected to increasing attacks, including slaughter, displacement from their homes, and the destruction of churches, schools, and communities, all due to their profession of faith.
It is our sacred duty as fellow followers of Christ to stand in solidarity with these brave believers. When one part of the body suffers, we all suffer (1 Corinthians 12:26). They are facing unimaginable trials, and their unwavering commitment to Christ in the face of death is a powerful testament to His truth. We must be their voice, advocate for their safety and justice, and uplift them ceaselessly in prayer. Their persecution is a stark reminder of the spiritual battle we are all engaged in, and we cannot remain silent or inactive while our family in Christ faces such evil.
Prayer Point: Please join me in prayer for the immediate cessation of violence against Christians in Nigeria. Pray specifically for supernatural strength, protection, and perseverance for those in the Middle Belt, for justice to prevail against the perpetrators, and for the safe return and restoration of all displaced believers and their communities.
