Mr Daniel Kolenda, President of Christ for all Nations (CfaN), has prayed for God’s will to prevail in Nigeria’s forthcoming general elections, urging righteousness and divine guidance for the nation.
Kolenda made the prayer while speaking with journalists on arrival in Calabar for a four day gospel crusade from Nov. 12 to Nov. 15, expected to bring salvation, miracles and spiritual revival.
The evangelist who succeeded Bonnke after his demise in 2019 said CfaN’s decision to visit Calabar followed what he described as divine direction, despite invitations from several other locations worldwide.
“We really felt as a team that the Lord sent us here, so that is why we’ve come,” he said.
Speaking on Nigeria’s political season, the evangelist said although he was not a politician, he believed righteousness remained essential to national development.
“The Bible says that righteousness exalts a nation; we believe that the Lord’s will will be done in the elections and that Nigeria will be blessed,” he said.
He reaffirmed CfaN’s longstanding relationship with Nigeria, expressing the organisation’s love for the country and commitment to praying for its progress.
The evangelist expressed optimism that the crusade would bring lasting transformation to Calabar and the surrounding communities.
He urged residents to attend the programme, saying they would witness what God had prepared for the city and the region.
CfaN, founded by renowned German evangelist Reinhard Bonnke in Dec. 1974 in Witfield, South Africa; however in a crusade in 2017, he announced Daniel Kolenda an American evangelist as his successor.
The ministry is known for its large crusades especially around Africa and its slogan “Africa Shall Be Saved.”
