The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) has suspended vigils and overnight prayer programmes across its branches nationwide over growing security concerns in the country.
The directive, which takes immediate effect, was contained in an internal circular issued on Friday and signed by Temitope Olawale, director of administration at the church’s international headquarters and Nigeria.
According to the circular, all church activities, including worship services, meetings and other programmes, must now end by 8 pm until further notice.
The church said the measure was introduced as a precautionary step to safeguard worshippers and church workers amid the prevailing security situation across the country.
Under the new guidelines, principal regional overseers, senior regional overseers, mega regional overseers, zonal pastors, branch pastors and other church leaders have been directed to ensure strict compliance across all assemblies.
MFM also announced the suspension of all vigils, overnight prayer meetings and similar programmes nationwide.
However, the church said such programmes could be converted to evening prayer sessions where necessary, provided they end on or before 8 pm.
The ministry stressed that the decision was not intended to disrupt spiritual activities but to enhance the safety and well-being of members.
It further directed mega regional overseers to immediately communicate the directive to all regions, zones, branches and departments under their supervision for prompt implementation.
The church said the directive would remain in force pending a review by its leadership.
