First Batch of Nigerian Christian Pilgrims pray for Leaders, citizens in Nasareth

By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

The first batch of Christian pilgrims who arrived the Holy Land of Nasareth on Sunday, 28th December, 2024 at a combined Sunday service at Tabor Hotel prayed for Nigerian leaders and its citizens.

The Bible lesson taken from Joel 2:18-27, dwelled on God’s restoration of Israel’s glory, was read by Hon. Mrs. Omowunmi Ogunlola, Federal Commissioner representing South West at the Board of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC).

Bishop Akinpelu Johnson, Chairman of the Lagos State Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board, delivered a sermon titled “Restoration of Nigerian Hope.”

He emphasized the need for collective prayer and cooperation with God to restore Nigeria’s glory.

The pilgrims offered prayers for Nigeria, its leaders, and citizens, seeking God’s guidance, wisdom, and restoration.

Furthermore, the prayers focused on the restoration of Nigeria’s glory, guidance and wisdom for leaders, circumcision of leaders’ hearts for sacrifice and service, and grace for leaders to finish strongly.

Bishop Johnson expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for facilitating this year’s pilgrimage exercise, despite the challenges posed by the Hamas militant group’s attack on Israel last October.

It would be recalled that the first batch of pilgrims have been in the holy land for seven days, having departed Nigeria on 22nd December, 2024.

The pilgrimage exercise continues with prayers and reflections on the theme “Pilgrimage of Renewed Hope for Total Restoration.”
