A team known as 70 wise prophets have been sent Jerusalem to pray for Nigeria. The move came from Rev. Ifeanyichukwu Epunam who assembled 70 prophets of the Christian faith through private sector sponsorship.

But before they left, they had an encounter with the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Mr. John Kennedy-Opara, at the NCPC Secretariat, Abuja, who admonished them on the essence of their spiritual journey to the holy land.

According to Sun News, while speaking to Abuja Metro, the initiator of the programme, Revd Epunam, said the programme is about the 70 wise prophets going on a national prayer summit to Jerusalem to pray for Nigerians, to pray for the president and for the peace and security of the nation, especially in 2015.

“So, it is a self-sponsored programme. The government has no kobo in it. Captains of industry sponsored it and they are here with their products to support us. They sponsored the ministers of the gospel to go and cry for mercy for Nigeria,” Epunam said.

Epunam said the project is borne out of his passion for Nigeria. “I have been a member of the National Prayer Networkin the Villa Chapel right from the Obasanjo’s government. So, I have passion for Nigeria. I have had experiences, knowing that the foundation of Nigeria is faulty, that we have to pray to put it in the right direction and at the same time, to help men and women of God know where Jesus preached the gospel: the landmarks and where he was ascendedso that the righteous will take over the earth,” Epunam stated.

In his remarks, Opara said the sponsors of the programme were exemplary people, and urged well-meaning Nigerians to emulate their gesture.

The pioneer executive secretary of the NCPC added that by so doing, crime rate in the country would be reduced, noting that an individual who embarkedon a pilgrimage, would return to the country and transform others.

Africans! !!!

Chase knowledge not God. Prayer is a lazy man's excuse.

It is well in Jesus name. AMEN

Jerusalem is just waste of time and resources. It would have been better if it our imams that are sent to mecca.

Itz allowed

I remember the bible saying we could pray anywhere.

There is no special mountain or Country to pray.

@ OP pls change it to 70 men travel to Jerusalem. Only God know those who are trulyHis men

According to God almighty, you can fast and pray anywhere and it will be answered!

Nigeria shall survive

upon all this prayers yet nothing changes,instead it gets worse...

Let God please, answer by FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!

May God Answer There Prayers...

Ignorant Africans!!!. The israel that they are going to is experiencing war and terrorism like Nigeria. We need to solve our problem in a rational way

Necessary.

In my honest opinion, this is pure waste of money. What happened to praying in Nigeria or did God take a break from Nigeria to Jerusalem? Humans just like to complicate the affairs of life

Hmmmm, May God answer our prayers.... Oluwa ma sha nu wa...

I knw the main objective will be bokoharam..... Oluwa ma shut won down..
Amin jesu, Amin baba

Mtsteeeew.
Spit spit.
My God is in Ife .
Not in Mecca or Jerusalem .
Without christainity or Islam , olodumare gifted his children the Orishas and the philosophy of progress to his children.
The people prospered and the people reaped bountiful harvest.
The people respected nature and conserved the Igbo olodumare ( the forests of God)
But today , they have desecrated the sacred bush by chopping down trees .
Now the desert is encroaching.
The people respected their fellow citizens until the greed of capitalism and materialism came with christainity and Islam.
Then they started selling people and thus sold their souls.
The philososophy of the yoruba religion remains superior to the strange,greedy and murderous teachings of those 2 imported religions.
There is no devil to whom all things can be blamed ( washing a Away the sin) in the body of knowledge of ifa,
but there is the evil which resides in the heart of men.
no amount of prayer can change what is essentially evil.
The change will come from getting rid of the evil in men.
The whole essence of nigeria is evil and so shall it remain.
Stop stealing,
Stop coveting
Stop cheating
Play by the rules , obey the laws of the land and the land shall prosper once again.
Wait , what am I talking about .
I will take it up a notch higher like the scientist in me demands.
There is no God.
You see the sun up in the sky,
The are tens of billion of that.
You see our planet earth, there are hundred of trilions of that as well.
Mathematical probability says that billions of those planets are habitable.
Same thing says there are intelligent living beings on millions of those planets.
Like the mugus we were when we came across the conveyors of christainity and Islam,
They have never heard of your Jesus or Mohammed.
Therefore ,Those prayers are simply the delusional rantings of an insecure person.

This picture of some of the trillions of stars will put your insignicance into perpective.
You are not special.
Your sun is a speck compared to other Suns( stars)

Safe journey.

Na there all of una go die! So God no dey answer prayers for Nigeria again, na until una visit hin grave site? After them go say na everywhere God dey.

Maybe they can make a different by sharing some of their wealth, then pray....I thank the catholic church for enlightening me on being less gulible when it comes to matter of faith....FAith is Work!

Father, cause them to ve encouter with U and give us breakthrough in Jesus Name. Amen!

May God hear our heart cry.

hmmmm. ok o.
