A Ukraine-based Nigerian cleric, Pastor Sunday Adelaja, has recounted moments of Shellings in the country under the Invasion of Russia, calling for intercessory prayers from Christians.
He made the plea in a post he made available through the social media shortly after the Russian armed forces began the invasion of Ukraine on Thursday morning.
“While we still have access to internet here in Ukraine, since no more telephone communication is possible within Ukraine, I will like to use this opportunity to send out this message to our friends and families all over the world.
“Yes, it is true. We are under attacks in Ukraine. We couldn’t believe it for a long time that Russian Federation would attack Ukraine, but alas it has happened.
“Personally I thought this is not possible but I’m right now in the midst of it. Americans were right…
“From my house here Kiev, I could hear bombs and loud sounds of shelling. We are in the midst of a total war with Russia.
“We stand in faith, we stand in God, we put our trust in his promises, while we hope for the best.
“We ask the world to pray for Ukraine. Pray for peace. Pray for Russia. Pray for world leaders, especially for the president of Russia, Ukraine, USA,” he pleaded.
The Nigerian cleric added further that “we are staying safe at home, praying and believing God for the best.
“Thank you so much everyone for your prayers and support
God bless you richly
For The Love Of God, Church And Nation.”
