House on the Rock Pentecostal Church, Minna chapter in Nigerian state in conjunction with some Gospel artists on Friday organised Praise and Worship,\u00a0 to solicit for God\u2019s intervention on the myriads\u00a0 of\u00a0 challenges bedevilling Nigeria and Christians in particular.<\/p>\n

Speaking to newsmen during an interactive session, shortly before the all-night Praise tagged, \u201cShout\u201d, the Founder\/Presiding Pastor House on the Rock Church, Minna, Pastor Peterock Sadiq said numerous challenges which seemed to have defied all known human solution calls for divine intervention.<\/p>\n

Pastor Sadiq recalled that in the Bible days, God\u2019s chosen people, the Israelites\u00a0 always gathered to call on God to intervene whenever
\nsituations seems impossible for them or during enemy invasion\/attacks and God will hear from heaven and \u2018heal their land\u2019.<\/p>\n

The scenario in Nigeria today, Pastor Sadiq said seems to have defied all human capabilities hence the resolve by his church to collaborate with faithfuls across Nigeria to call on God through intercessory prayers, praise and worship for, \u201cHeavenly intervene and God to Heal Our Land\u201d.<\/p>\n

Pastor Sadiq told journalists that the programme was opened to all
\nNigerians concerned about the country\u2019s challenges, saying \u201cShout was a non-denominational service providing the opportunity for Christians, Muslims and adherents of other religions to come together to use praise and worship songs to call on God\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cShout praise and worship is an opportunity to pray to God to heal
\nNigeria for it to overcome its numerous challenges including; insecurity, political distrust which has continued to widen the gap among Nigeria\u2019s political elites and socio-economic challenges\u201d, he maintained.<\/p>

Peterock Sadiq who expressed optimism that God in his infinity mercies would answer prayers and resolve the country\u2019s problems said, \u201cI am sure that the Almighty God will hear and answer us and very soon, Nigeria will witness rapid positive change in all sphere of life\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cChallenges as banditry, insurgency, armed robbery, corruption,
\nFarmers\/Fulani herdsmen clashes were unheard of but today we no longer sleep with our two eyes closed. It is not the design of God for Nigeria and Nigerians cannot continue to go through all these\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to break the evil yoke holding Nigeria at ransom through
\nintercessory prayers, praise and worshiping God in his fullness”, he
\nmaintained.<\/p>\n

The Cleric, added\u00a0 that \u2018Shout\u2019, second in the series was an annual event featuring no fewer than ten Gospel artists from different parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, dignitaries at the all night event, held at the Justice Legbo Kutigi International Conference Centre, Minna on\u00a0 Friday, 1, November 2019\u00a0 night through Saturday,the following day,\u00a0 November 2, 2019 morning which featured many gospel artists including d the state’s chapter of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Chairman, Rev.
