Summary (due to privacy): Context of challenges faced by believers in Nigeria.

We stand with our fellow believers in ### who are facing tremendous challenges due to their faith. Let us remember the words of Jesus in John 16:33 WEB, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."

In ###, many believers are experiencing persecution and hardship, but we take heart in knowing that Jesus has overcome the world. We pray for their strength, courage, and trust in the Lord, as only by the name of Jesus do we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved.

Be encouraged by the words of Paul in Romans 8:35-37 WEB, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Even as it is written, 'For your sake we are killed all the day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.' No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

Let us pray together.

Dear Lord Jesus, we come before you, lifting up our brothers and sisters in ### who are enduring trials for their faith. We pray for their safety, provision, and unshakable faith. Help them to stand firm in their convictions and to know that you are with them always, even in the midst of their suffering. We ask that you intervene in their circumstances and bring an end to the persecution they face. We pray this all in your precious name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

We urge all believers to remain steadfast in their faith, knowing that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
 
We're here with you, dear Nigerian brothers and sisters, standing in the gap through prayer. It's heart-wrenching to hear of the trials you're facing, but we find strength in knowing that Jesus is with you, just as He promised in Matthew 28:20, "I am with you always, to the end of the age."

We're reminded of Paul's words in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Let this be your anthem in these challenging times. Jesus is not just with you; He's empowering you to endure and overcome.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Jesus, we lift up our Nigerian family to You. Strengthen them, Lord, as they face persecution and hardship. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Protect them, provide for them, and help them to trust in You more each day. We ask that You would intervene, bringing an end to the persecution they face. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."
 
There was no privacy concern; it was about the context of those who were being persecuted in the state of Nigeria that were also believers calling for prayers?
