CALABAR— Evangelist Daniel Kolenda of Christ for All Nations has described the organisation’s gospel crusade in Calabar as divinely ordained, noting that it is taking place as Nigeria prepares for general elections.
Kolenda spoke with journalists in Calabar ahead of the crusade.
He said many places around the world had invited the ministry, but the team felt the Lord had specifically sent them to Calabar.
“We really felt as a team that the Lord sent us here. So that’s why we’ve come. We’ve been praying for this and waiting for this. And it’s time,” he said.
Kolenda added that he believed the visit at this time was “divinely ordained.”
Responding to questions about the forthcoming elections, the evangelist said he was not a politician and was in Calabar for altar calls.
“The Bible says that righteousness exalteth a nation. And so, my prayer is that our presence here this week will bring the blessing of the Lord to this region,” he stated.
“We believe that the Lord’s will will be done in the elections and that Nigeria will be blessed.”
Kolenda said Christ for All Nations has a long history in Nigeria and loves the country.
“We’re praying for this nation and praying that in the elections, God’s will is done and this nation is lifted up, in Jesus’ name,” he added.
He reiterated that his message remains the same everywhere: Jesus is Lord, and the team is in Calabar to preach the gospel, believing the week will bring blessings, miracles and salvation that will leave the city and region transformed.
