A Benin, Edo State-based Christian cleric, Apostle Matthew Omorodion, has said the nation was sick and that special prayers must be said to heal it and sustain its existence.
Apostle Omorodion, who stated this in a statement made available to journalists in Benin City, Edo State, advocated concerted efforts to defend the sovereignty of the nation.
The cleric said he had an encounter with God, who instructed him to inform all Christian denominations in the country to hold a seven-day revival and prayer session as the condition to avert any form of upheaval that could plunge the nation into turmoil.
The statement called on all and sundry to “lay aside all religious sentiments and put the nation first in prayers so that God will hear from heaven, forgive our sins and heal our land as enshrined in 2 Chronicles 7 verse 14.”
