In light of the happenings and recent situations in Nigeria; increased concern for the well-being of the people; and fear for the future and uncertainty in the hearts of many in contrast to God’s plan and will for His people, there comes the need for God’s people to take a stand and effect a change through heart felt prayer for a turnaround for good in our dear nation, Nigeria. And this was exactly what happened at the Abuja Prayer and Miracle Crusade held at the Old Parade Ground, Garki, on February 2nd, 2024.
It was a night of prayers all through and fervent prayers were made for the lost glory of this country to be restored by the power of God Spirit and for corruption to wiped out of our governance system including the civil service and the security agencies.
Of noteworthy was the special prayer for our President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all those in authority with him including the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, that they succeed in the assignment God gave them for this nation, Nigeria “for the thrones that be is ordained of God whether it looks like it or not.”
Power, might, sound mind, love, and the political will was prayed for the President and those in authority with him that they always do what is right for this country even against their own will. It was prayed that the executive, legislature, and judiciary will do things with the fear of God in their hearts.

“The people running Nigeria have excellent spirits, they know what to do and good things are coming out of Nigeria. Righteousness covers Nigeria as waters cover the sea. The lord will use our leaders to do what is right for this country,” it was prayed.
Safety and security of lives and property was enthroned on the land by the power of God Spirit.
As said by Pastor Dipo Fisho, the Zonal Pastor, Christ Embassy Abuja Zone 1, “Abuja Prayer and Miracle Crusade was inspired by the Holy Spirit as an intercessory prayer programme for our nation and all those who are currently in authourity in the three arms of government- the executive, legislature, and Judiciary.
“It was a time to apply the knowledge of God’s word to effect changes in our nation and we know that it seems that God would do nothing except we pray. So we decided to pray.
“The country needs a clear direction to go if we must regain our rightful position and respect in the committee of nations and it’s only the Almighty God that has the wisdom and power to direct a people aright and so we decided to evoke the power of His Spirit on leaders of this great nation Nigeria.”
The programme was to serve as a rallying point of intercessory prayers for not only the Federal Capital Territory but for the entire nation using Abuja as the nerve centre of Nigeria.

As aptly described by Dipo Fisho, the Alpha ZP, “This program was one significant Night with the King, maker of Nigeria, where testimonies of healings and change of stories took place for individuals and for our nation in general.
“The essence of the programme was to re-align our nation in God’s perfect plan for it and also in the lives of the citizenry both those in government and the led.
