“As horrific attacks and killings continue across the nation, we must rise and stand in the gap,” said Christian leaders in Nigeria, who called for a day of prayer July 9. (Christian Daily International-Morning Star News, July 11)
As you read through these reports below of the latest Fulani attacks, pray for healing, courage, love and deep faith for the Christians who survived. Pray God will send angel armies to surround these and all Christian communities in Nigeria, and that those armies are continually visible to every would-be attacker. Pray Muslim terrorists will tremble in fear of the Lord, drop their weapons of mass violence, repent and surrender to Jesus. Pray every Fulani will encounter Christ in their dreams every night, in visions throughout the day and in other powerful ways, showing them the way to salvation. Pray the reign of terror in Nigeria will now stop, and hundreds of thousands of Fulani and other Islamic extremists there will surrender their lives to Jesus.
“The situation in our community is terrible and horrifying,” said Alhaji Ishaya Onnusim, of Ugom. “It is farming season, and many of our villagers, in a bid to survive, had gone to their farms located deep in the bushes. Farming is their only source of livelihood, and yet it has become a dangerous task — one that could cost them their lives.
“We can no longer sleep in our homes peacefully. We cannot go to the markets to trade or buy food. We cannot go to our farms, which are our only means of survival. Our children cannot go to school. Our elderly are helpless. Our women and girls are vulnerable.”
