Gov. Lalong calls for prayers for Plateau’s security

Gov. Simon Lalong of Plateau has called for more prayers and vigilance for the state’s security and Nigeria’s unity.
Lalong made the call at a mass he attended on Sunday in Shendam.
In a statement signed by his Director of Media and Publicity, Dr Simon Macham, the governor at the mass encouraged the congregants not to lose faith due to the recent unfortunate events that occurred in the state.
Lalong said there was need for more prayers and vigilance.
“The recent unfortunate developments in the state have been largely contained, but more work needs to be done to prevent re-occurrence.
Lalong, who reiterated that security was a joint responsibility of everyone, thanked the church for constantly upholding his government in prayers.
“I thank you for consistently upholding the government in prayers and also offering pieces of advice and solutions to the challenges of the state, including insecurity.
“Though the church has contributed a lot in educating citizens and sensitising them towards embracing peace and harmony, as well as showing love to people of various backgrounds.
“Be reminded that security is a joint responsibility which requires the collaboration of citizens, government and law enforcement agencies who must always unite against criminals,” he said.
Rev. Father Michael Kelong, the Parish Priest, expressed appreciation to the governor for the visit and promised that the congregation would continue to pray and advise the government.
In his Homily, Rev. Bulus Diarshap, urged Christians to be alive to their duties as believers by showing compassion, mercy and consideration for one another.
“Lack of adherence to the examples of Jesus Christ to love and respect the sanctity of life is responsible for most of the crises in the world,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Hon. Livinus Kwapfuan, member representing Shendam constituency in the House of Assembly and Hon. Alex Naantuam, Chairman Shendam LGA, were among those who accompanied the governor to the church service. (NAN)

Nigerian Anglicans Condemn Lesbian Archbishop of Wales, Deepening Global Anglican Rift

…Church leaders accuse Welsh counterparts of “spiritual decadence” and “abandonment of faith”
The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has issued a forceful condemnation of the election of Rt. Rev. Cherry Vann, an openly lesbian cleric, as the Archbishop of Wales. The move is the latest in a series of developments that have deepened divisions within the global Anglican Communion over sexuality and doctrine.
In a statement from Primate The Most Rev’d Henry Ndukuba, the church denounced the election as a “serious departure from biblical teaching” and a sign of “spiritual decadence” and “an outright abandonment of the faith once delivered to the saints.”
Archbishop Ndukuba warned that Bishop Vann’s elevation compromises the Anglican Church’s global mission and could obstruct evangelism. He compared the situation to the controversial tenure of Most Rev. Katherine Jefferts Schori, former Presiding Bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church, who also faced intense criticism from conservative Anglicans for her progressive views.
The Primate accused Bishop Vann of being complicit in the “ongoing crisis” around same-sex issues, stating that the election is a “clear revelation that many who claim to be members of the body of Christ cannot endure sound doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:3–4).
The Church of Nigeria called on Anglicans worldwide to reject “rebels” and “apostates” and to instead support conservative bodies like the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON).
“The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) condemns, unequivocally rejects, and will not recognize the election of Rt. Rev. Cherry Vann as Archbishop of Wales,” Ndukuba declared. He concluded with a solemn warning that without repentance, the Church in Wales risks losing “complete relevance” and its leaders will face judgment.

Anglican Church Urges Government To Prioritize Citizen Welfare

The Primate of the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba, has called on political leaders to prioritize the welfare of citizens.
During a recent church service in Abuja, Ndukuba noted that many Nigerians are struggling with challenges brought on by the global economic downturn. He urged state and local governments to implement new initiatives to lessen the impact on their communities.
The Primate also stressed that the federal government must effectively monitor its programs to ensure that Nigerians fully benefit from the nation’s democratic gains. He argued that if the current administration can effectively tackle corruption, the country would significantly benefit from the economic policies of President Tinubu’s government.
Ndukuba concluded by asking the congregation to continue praying for those in authority, remain committed to national unity, and show love and support for the less privileged. He also tasked the newly inducted members of the Church Mothers’ Guild with aggressively spreading the gospel.

Hardship: A Veil Of Sorcery And Darkness Over Nigeria – Pastor Enenche”

Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Paul Enenche, has expressed deep concern about the current situation in Nigeria.
Enenche stated that the nation is under an evil spell due to the economic hardship affecting the country. He described Nigeria as being covered by a “blanket of sorcery and darkness,” leading many citizens to endure poverty and hardship in silence.
“There’s a blanket of sorcery and darkness over this nation—an evil spell making people tolerate what should provoke outrage,” he wrote.
In a post on his official X account on Thursday, the cleric highlighted the economic struggles faced by many Nigerians, noting that an increasing number of church members now line up after services not for spiritual counselling or prayer, but to help with basic needs such as rent, school fees, food, and medical bills.
“People are suffering. Pastors are exhausted. Members now queue after service not for prayer, but for assistance,” he lamented.
He also criticised political leaders for their insensitivity and failure to address the dire situation across the country.
“Yet, the leaders act as though nothing is wrong. This is not normal—it is witchcraft. It is a spell of patience in captivity, leading to a demonic tolerance of suffering.”
Calling for divine intervention, Enenche declared, “Let every evil spell over this land be broken! Let those misruling with arrogance and mocking the people’s pain face divine judgment. They shall not see the celebration of their wickedness.”
