RENEGOTIATE NIGERIA: CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS
“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” (Prov. 14:34).
The National Prayer Altar organized a 3-day conference in June 2025, with the theme, “RENEGOTIATE NIGERIA.” Arising from that conference, the following resolutions are presented to Nigerians, particularly the Christian community, for consideration and further actions:
1. The conference lamented the distressing state of Nigeria, morally, economically, and socially, seeing it as an indictment on the Church for its failure to champion the righteousness of God for social and national transformation. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), as well as other arms of the Nigerian Church structure, were indicted for the sad absence of Christlike leadership in a country taken over by all manner of evils.
2. The conference agreed that Nigeria requires an urgent renegotiation by its citizens, as events tend to be tilting towards implosion. It was stated that renegotiating Nigeria should be much more than a slogan but a price to be paid, an obligation to be fulfilled, a commitment that must be executed.
3. The conference emphasized the place of character in building the new Nigeria. Christians were admonished to return to the principle of God, stressing that a good end does not justify the wrong means, and commitment to ethical values should be without compromise. It was lamented that, sadly, many professing Christians in this generation place charisma above character, ultimately disgracing the Church and the Lord, as well as the country.
4. The cry of the saints should not be for revival without reclaiming lost territory through sacrificial intercession and nation-bearing faithfulness. Christians, it said, should focus on establishing the Kingdom of God and its righteousness in Nigeria.
5. Integrity and Godly character should not be negotiated for any office or at any leadership level. The Church must place emphasis on integrity, and demand it from its members, beginning with its leadership.
6. The conference agreed that the remnant in the Church should war against spiritual amnesia and reclaim abandoned spheres of righteous influence in the marketplace: education, government, family, and so on.
7. The conference was persuaded that birthing a new nation could not be a silent event. It would involve much prayer, obedience to God, and self-denial epitomized by daily carrying the cross. It could cost martyrdom, institutional warfare, and uncompromising integrity.
8. The conference called on the Church to rethink its Christian values, because many Christians are spectators of the national decay rather than being midwives of national rebirth, a stance which is tantamount to complicity in the national decadence.
9. The new Nigeria will not be for the corrupt and compromising who shout “Jesus” with polluted hands and minds. Any strategy without character is a scaffold for self-destruction.
10. Prayer alone would not save Nigeria. Faith must be matched with character, integrity, and a passion for righteousness.
11. The deception that promotes greed, cowardice, and compromise presented as ‘wisdom’ amongst the Christian leaders, must be rejected. Christian leadership must contend for truth and righteousness. Christians must be militant both spiritually and in character, to regain regions and generations lost through the unwillingness to contend for the faith.
12. The conference indicted the Church and its leadership for the grave silence and compromise when villages were sacked, elections rigged, and institutions hijacked. Church leaders were reminded that negotiation with darkness was not diplomacy but surrender. The continued endorsement of corrupt politicians and evil political parties by Christian leaders has to cease.
13. Christians seeking a role in governance should not contest political seats without being backed by credible spiritual altars. The voice of Christians should not be loud in public spaces without corresponding power at consecrated altars.
14. The Conference denounced Christian neutrality in place of Christian confrontation. Such neutrality is part of the satanic tactics to weaken the national authority of the Church. Renegotiating Nigeria must begin from a place of truth.
15. Rebuilding national foundations demands people of discernment, discretion, and discipline. True negotiation begins not in Abuja, but on consecrated personal and ecclesiastical altars. Nigeria cannot be renegotiated if personal altars of the saints remain defiled.
16. The Church must build parallel resistance structures socially, economically, legally, ideologically, and educationally, particularly in Christian majority areas of the country. A house without pillars will collapse.
17. The crisis in Nigeria is not abstract; it is real. The Church must choose either to be prophetic or be replaced. The time for silence is over, the conference agreed.
18. The Church must embrace the doctrine of righteous resistance. It is the divine right of the people of God to “stand for their lives” (Est. 8:11).
19. It is the calling of the Church to champion righteous laws and just legislations in the land. The Nigeria Church must be at the vanguard of a new Constitution for the country, to promote justice, equality, and fairness.
20. The conference condemned in strong terms weak and compromising Christian leadership, silent pulpits in the face of evil and wickedness in the country, as well as structural cowardice that adopts a pro-government stance irrespective of the corruption and evil of the politicians.
God bless Nigeria.
