Rev. Adigun made the appeal during the continuation of the church’s National Prayer Programme, where he urged believers to remain steadfast and united in seeking divine intervention for the nation.
Addressing a large congregation, the cleric said Nigeria had reached a critical phase and was in dire need of God’s help to overcome its deepening economic and social challenges. He noted that inflation, unemployment and mounting hardship had placed enormous pressure on citizens.
Reading from scriptures including Joel 2:14–21, II Chronicles 14, Psalm 142:1 and II Kings 19:14, 19, he reminded worshippers of biblical precedents where God responded to earnest cries for deliverance, saying the same grace was available to Nigerians.
“God who answered then will answer us too,” Rev Adigun declared. “We need our economy to be restored so that our currency will be strengthened.”
He said the nation’s troubles required more than policy intervention, stressing that spiritual commitment must go hand-in-hand with governance reforms. According to him, the weight of daily survival had left many Nigerians distressed, making concerted prayers a national obligation rather than a mere religious duty.
Rev. Adigun explained that the ongoing prayer campaign was rooted in the conviction that spiritual and moral renewal must precede sustainable national development.
“We want God to come down and act on the present situation of Nigeria. God will give us victory over our tormentors who have risen up against our nation and our lives," he said.
He described the current difficulties as both economic and spiritual battles that required determination, faith and consistent supplication. Despite the prevailing gloom, he warned against despair, insisting that the country could still experience a turning point.
“There is no door God cannot open,” he noted.
The cleric said the same divine power that rescued biblical nations could restore Nigeria, adding that God was able to reopen all “closed doors,” including those affecting education and religious institutions.
He referenced the temporary closure of churches and schools in some parts of the country due to insecurity, economic strain and infrastructure collapse, stressing that such problems demanded both policy reforms and spiritual awakening.
Rev. Adigun urged Nigerians not to lose faith in the nation’s potential, saying the country was blessed with abundant resources that could thrive under divine guidance. He encouraged believers to pray for the economy as well as for President Bola Tinubu and other leaders, asking God to endow them with wisdom, integrity and courage.
The service also featured sessions of intercession for peace, security and national unity, with many worshippers expressing hope that the prayers would spark a turnaround for the country.
As the programme drew to a close, the cleric reminded the congregation that national transformation begins with the spiritual posture of the people.
“If we return to God with sincerity,” he said, “He will return to us with healing and restoration.”
The National Prayer initiative continues across Apostolic Faith Church branches nationwide, with the aim of mobilising millions of Nigerians to intercede for the country during what the church describes as a defining period.
