BISHOP of the Ughelli Diocese, Anglican Communion, Rt Revd Cyril
Odutemu, has enjoined Christians across the country to be more vigilant
to avoid being taken unaware by the Boko Haram Islamic sect.
Odutemu who spoke during a three day prayer convention of the diocese
tagged: “Divine Agenda 2012,” said: “In times like these, we have to be
closer to God and put all our trust in Him for He only is our
deliverer.
“While you pray, you must be vigilant and at alert. The police, army
and other security agents may be of little or no help in this moment of
trouble. We have to return to our God in repentance for him to heal our
land and bring restoration to the people.”
Lamenting the killings of innocent citizens and destruction of
property by the suspected Islamic sect, he said the three-day ultimatum
issued to Christians to vacate the Northern part of the country by the
Islamic sect was most unfortunate.
He charged Christians to put their trust in God, “and not on man or any security agent in this trying time in Nigeria.”
