Veteran Nigerian gospel singer Bola Are has urged Nigerians to embrace prayer and unity amid rising insecurity, saying, “God sent me to you.”
In a video shared on Instagram, the evangelist said God gave her a message for Christians in Nigeria and abroad, calling for prayers and repentance for the nation.
She urged believers to dedicate June 1st to 3rd, 2026, to intense prayers for Nigeria, saying the instruction came from God.
According to her, those who take part will be blessed, as she referenced 2 Chronicles 7:14 on humility, repentance and healing the land.
In her words:
“My name is Evangelist Dr Bola Are. God sent me to all Christians in Nigeria, both at home and abroad, to pray on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of June, quickly, that God should take control of Nigeria. And those people who do it, we prosper. And that’s what 2 Chronicles chapter 7, verse 14 says.”
The gospel singer said a farmer from Iseyin in Oyo State travelled to deliver a message from God, confirming that she should make this announcement.
She says all pastors, evangelists, prophets, bishops, archbishops, and leaders of every denomination must gather to pray during those three days.
“God sent a farmer to me all the way from Iseyin, sent to me that God said he should go and meet me for me to say that God wants all Christians, all planters of churches, all pastors, all evangelists, all prophetesses, all prophets, all archbishops, all bishops… That we should gather together between 1, 2, 3, on the 1st, on the 2nd, on the 3rd of June,” she said.
The worship minister stressed that prayers should be held daily between 3pm and 6pm, with no night vigils, and that Christians should thank God for sending His word and trust Him to forgive and heal the nation.
She further said this is not about denomination but a call for unity, for one voice among Christians.
“This is not a matter of a denomination. Christian Association of Nigeria, the leader, the president, I’m telling you, God said we should pray for 3 good days. PFN and all denominations in Nigeria, in Christendom, should pray to the God of creation.”
She then concluded by declaring, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, saying Nigeria is like Jerusalem and must be lifted before God for deliverance.
