Christians Should Never Resort To Retaliation No Matter The Provocation, Threat — Gowon
A former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, said on Sunday that Nigeria’s problems would be resolved through unrelenting prayers by the church, rather than resorting to violence, retaliation and unforgiveness.
Gowon, who is the President of the Nigeria Prays Movement, made the statement at a special prayers session at the Deeper Life Bible Church Headquarters in Lagos.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the annual event brings together Christian faithful from various denominations as well as political office holders.
Gowon, who took his reading from 2 Chronicles 7: 14, urged the congregation to pray for the nation, saying that God is interested in the Nigeria situation at all times.
“The church must provide a moral compass for the nation to make the people imbibe the fear of God and to follow righteousness.
“Brethren, it is important to remind us that the church is God’s House of Prayer. With the general elections coming ahead, it is natural for people to become anxious and fearful of what the future holds for Nigeria.
“In the light of the wanton killings in the land– be it politically motivated or instigated by the dark agents of insurgency like Boko Haram, armed herdsmen or rustlers, there is great need for us to come together to pray and intercede for our dear nation and its people.
“God’s solutions to the problems of this country is not in guns, retaliation or physical weapons but in prevailing prayers of the church.
“May I ask the people of Nigeria to embrace of the spirit of love, patriotism and commitment to the good of our nation, irrespective of political parties or religious affiliation or tribal differences.’’
According to him, citizens of this country hold important role of maintaining peace and unity for the progress and prosperity of Nigeria.
He cautioned Christians against reprisal attacks, retaliation, vengeance and religious intolerance in the guise of self-defence.
“Whatsoever the provocation, whatsoever the threat, for the sake of our country, Nigerian Christians should never resort to retaliation that could lead to a religious war.
“I call on the authorities to provide the necessary physical protection for all. We must continue to demand for the government to be alive to its primary responsibilities of protecting lives and properties of poor citizens.’’
Gowon said that the mission of Nigeria Prays was to mobilise all Nigerians to offer prayers for the healing and transformation of the nation.
The general commended the host minister, Pastor William Kumuyi, for his love and commitment to nation growth and development.
In a message, President Muhammadu Buhari also commended Gowon and Kumuyi for their passionate love for national cohesion.
Buhari, whose message was read by his media aide, Mr Femi Adesina, said that love and commitment of Gowon and Kumuyi to the unity and cohesion of the country was unparalleled.
“Prayer is the right thing to do and the way to go. Nigeria is not a mistake. God that brought us this far won’t abandon us.
“It is right that we pray to God for the unity and prosperity of Nigeria. None of Nigeria’s challenges is greater than God. In God we trust and He will take us through the challenges.’’
Also speaking, Kumuyi, who spoke on “Divine Assurance When Nigerian Prays’’ said that God will answer if His people, faced with national perplexity can pray.
“Nigeria won’t disintegrate, we are just starting.’’
According to him, if God can turn around and show mercy to Nineveh, Egypt, Assyria and others countries as well as various individuals in the Bible days like Rahab, there is hope for Nigeria.

They should keep quiet and die in the hands of their killers. That is a threat mind you! You said ” Christians shouldn’t react no matter the provocation from Muslims”. If they react what will happen that has not been happening? The truth is that Nigerians Christians are cowards but they bible to cover up their irresponsibility. I don’t know if they understand the holy book more than the Israelites whom constantly revenge the death of their brothers and sisters on daily basis. Then I ask, if it’s not cowardice why should Nigerian Christians succumb to provocation and being killed in mas everyday ?

Christians Should Never Resort To Retaliation No Matter The Provocation, Threat — Gowon
I tell Christians that no one should ever listen to Gowon, he is evil, a major cause of problem. It is good that his seeds are growing up while he is still living. He has not seen anything yet. Gowon and everything associated with him, is evil. Everyone who listens to Gowon is evil and will go down. Everyone should just distance themselves from devil, he is one. We must fight him. Gowon is a murderer

Kumuyi is not a christian, but Shango worshiper representing the interest of Yoruba and serving his Fulani masters interest by holding down the Igbos .Gowon is a confused genocidist and he knows that when Biafra comes , he will surely pay for his atrocity for massacring and starving to death over 15 million Biafrans.

Gowon, who is part of the problem of Nigeria today is still talking rubish, you are saying that know one or Christian should not retaliate, when will this killings stop in Nigeria? Is it going to stop by the time everyone must have been killed and the Fulanis will achieve there goal ,a long time plan now.
It has been a long time Gowon has been deceiving the whole country under his fake one Nigeria, his people are being killed on daily basis now and he is still there talking about one Nigeria, because you are trying to present your self as a peace maker If you were a peace maker you brought war I mean the civil to the country that killed more than 3 million Igbos, yet you are still talking about your one Fake Nigeria. Gowon is the course of this problem we are facing in the country till today and God will never forgive him because his hands are fool of blood .
Nigeria will never be in peace until Nigeria do the write thing ,the write thing is to allow the Biafrans to go,G I don’t is not happy with Nigeria as far as I am concern.
Mr Gowon you are trying to justify your self and the war you brought to the Igbos ( Biafrans )please Go and think about it before you continue to preach your fake one Nigeria.
Your people are being killed like cows every day your there still preaching to us your fake one Nigeria, shame onto you ,your still alive today because God is given you time to confess and repent from the atrocities you have committed the genocide you committed against the entire Eastern region.
Thank you let me stop here for now.

Nigerians are only good in typing R.I.P when their citizens are brutality killed by boko haram/ Fulani herdsman instead to protest for justice the will went and start attacking IPOB with evil word and fake news.
But note this your attack against IPOB is rubbish because IPOB is unstoppable. God called us for this Biafra restoration.
And also We Biafra are not serving a confusion God because God is not an author of confusion. As a Biafra Never allow devil to use politician to deceive you because if you Silence Nnamdi Kanu and take away IPOB, I bet you under 48 hours Islam will outrun you .
The fear of Hausa Fulani is IPOB that is the reason the are pleasuring ohanaeze ndi iberiber and Governors to label is territories. IPOB will never give up because Biafra restoration is divine project which God has signed in heaven.
God cannot come down and deliver you from zoo that is the reason he sent NNAMDI KANU.
Therefore anything God tell NNAMDI KANU about the restoration of Biafra is what we will do as far as we believe that God will give us Biafra.
And believed me obedient is better than sacrifice.only obedient will save us. 2 Chronicles 20:20 Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
God will tell you the way to go ,then we will do the walking.
And our walking is boycott the slave Nigeria election and Biafra will come.
May God continue the punish those that hate truth and love evil.we stand on no election in Biafra land
