The Handlifters Praying Group, in collaboration with King Joseph Okechukwu, held a three-day fasting and prayer session from Friday, January 17th to Monday, January 20th, 2025, in Lagos. The session aimed to pray for the successful inauguration and administration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States of America.
According to Pastor Chinyere Adegboye, the Visionary and Lead Pastor of the Handlifters Praying Group, “I am thrilled about Donald Trump’s historic comeback.” She expressed gratitude to God for making Trump the 47th US President-elect. Pastor Chinyere attributed Trump’s reelection to divine intervention.
She recalled that in 2020, the Handlifters prayed intensively for Trump, while King Joseph Okechukwu campaigned vigorously for him. However, she believed that God wanted Trump to be closer to Him before returning him to office in 2025.
Pastor Chinyere’s husband, Pastor John Adeyinka Adegboye, stated that God completes what He starts. “God has begun something new in America through Trump’s election. What He started, He will finish. America is on the threshold of something new.”
He noted that Trump is privileged to be an instrument God wants to use to do something new in America. “Like Mary, the mother of Jesus, was used to do something new in the world, may God find us worthy to be used for His purpose.”
Evangelist Trust Omoruyi from London prayed for doors of opportunity to be opened for everyone interested in the program. He asked God to deliver Trump from unreasonable and wicked people.
“In the name of Jesus, may the good things God has started never stop until they are demonstrated in America and across nations,” Evangelist Omoruyi prayed. He cited the biblical example of Joseph, who was promoted by God despite people plotting against him.
“God will deliver Trump from unreasonable men in the name of Jesus. May his reign bring joy and happiness to the people of America and the world. May he enact regulations and policies that favor the people, for when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice,” Evangelist Omoruyi said.
Prayers were also offered for all fathers of faith across nations for longevity and protection, as well as for families to experience unity and agape love through Christ, led by Pastor Mrs. Patricia Adeyemo.
