In response to Nigeria’s security challenges, a major national prayer event will dedicate a central segment to interceding for the country’s peace and stability during the “Abuja Night of Glory” crusade this Friday.

The all-night event, set for the Main Bowl of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, will be led by Pastor Dr. David Ogbueli of Dominion City Church. Organisers say the prayers will specifically target the insecurity affecting various regions, seeking divine intervention for victims, communities, and the nation’s security forces.

“This gathering is a spiritual response to a national emergency,” the planning committee stated. “When communities face fear, violence, and instability, the collective faith of the people rises as a force for change. We are mobilising believers to cry out for peace, protection, and wisdom for our leaders.”

The event is expected to draw thousands from across the country and will feature prominent Nigerian gospel ministers, including Nathaniel Bassey, Dunsin Oyekan, Chioma Jesus, and Minister GUC, whose worship is anticipated to set the tone for a night of deep intercession. They will be joined by Pastor Ogbueli and other local and international ministers.

While the “Night of Glory” series is renowned for personal healings and breakthroughs, the Abuja edition emphasizes a national purpose. “Beyond individual miracles, we recognise a nation in need of healing,” organisers added. “We believe prayer can alter the spiritual atmosphere and contribute to tangible peace and security.”

The crusade offers free admission and provides free transportation within Abuja, with heavy security arrangements in place. For those unable to attend physically, the event will be broadcast live online, allowing Nigerians nationwide to join virtually in the prayers.

As the nation grapples with multiple security threats, this large-scale prayer initiative underscores the role of faith in national consciousness, positioning spiritual intercession as a key complement in the quest for peace and stability.
