The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Worldwide, Dr. Daniel Olukoya has called on all Christians and other men of faith to join in a seven-day prayer and fasting against the COVID-19 pandemic, its systems and repercussions.
According to a prayer programme signed by the renowned cleric, “The purpose is to silence the rage of the infirmity and to protect our citizens. The prayers are also designed to help our leaders receive inspiration for divine wisdom to take Nigeria and the rest of the world out of the gloom of COVID-19.”
He said that the programme is to run from May 1 to 7, as he urged all participants to add power and fervency to the prayers through fasting to a minimum of noon daily.
Olukoya gave the prayer points and scriptures as 2 Chronicles 7:14: ‘If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.’
The scripture is to be followed by praise and worship and then a deluge of 14 powerful prayer points to be prayed daily for the seven days.
