Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) has enjoined Christians in Nigeria to uphold justice and fairness during the Lenten season.
NCPC Executive Secretary, Bishop Stephen Adegbite, in his Ash Wednesday message emphasized the importance of putting God at the centre of their fasting and prayers. “When you fast, you must uphold justice and fairness, God must be at the centre of it all,” he said.
Bishop Adegbite explained that Lent is a period of sober reflection, abstinence from food, water, and other pleasures, observed for 40 days and 40 nights.
He encouraged Nigerians to continue praying together, regardless of their religious affiliations, highlighting the significance of interfaith harmony.
The NCPC boss called for prayers for President Bola Tinubu, the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and other top government officials, seeking God’s wisdom and direction for them.
Bishop Adegbite prayed that the merciful Lord would bless Nigeria, and Nigerians during this fasting period and beyond.
