“The Bible Alive Believers International Convention (BABIC), is held annually by the NCGC and this year’s edition is very special because an array of anointed servants of God are coming to join their faith with ours to spiritually uplift Nigeria as a country and Nigerians as a people before God.
“Specifically, fervent prayers shall be offered to God for the general well-being of the country, even as we shall be decreeing economic prosperity for Nigeria while praying against all forms of criminalities, especially terrorism, insurgency, banditry, kidnapping and other violent crimes.
“There shall be a great harvest of souls (salvation), miracles, signs and wonders. There shall be mighty visitations of God upon His people that are called by His name.
“Indeed, we have God’s assurances that the captives will be set free and delivered from their various problems; it shall be healing galore and the church will be strengthened by the power of God,” Deacon Okhiria added.
