[Church of Nigeria News] 8 Dec 2007--The prayer convocation of Church of Nigeria held recently in Jos was not only attended by Anglicans in Nigeria but also by Anglicans from Cameroon and other neighbouring countries. This is a demonstration of the readiness of the African continent in responding to God's call to make His Name great among the Nations.

Speaking at the event, the National Coordinator of Church of Nigeria Prayer Convocation, Rt. Revd Sosthenes Eze pointed out that Africa occupies a very important place in God's plan and purpose as he traced the involvement of the black continent from creation of the world to the death of Christ. He said that Africa provided the enabling environment for the purpose of God to thrive.

In an expository teaching, the cleric carefully x-rayed practical applications of God's dealing with Africa in molding the characters He used to bring about generational changes. From the generation of Adam, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Isaiah to Christ, “God has always depended on Africa to bring about deliverance to His people. God specifically chose Egypt in his programming and ordination to preserve Jacob and his household.”

He asserted that the pivotal role played by the Church of Nigeria in defending the truth that has been distorted in some parts of the worldwide Anglican family is part of God's plan and purpose to preserve a remnant for Himself.
