Abstract
Terrorism is a global phenomenon. It occurs virtually in all parts of the world, Nigeria inclusive. It is one of the various forms of violence against Christians in Nigeria. It usually comes in the form of extremists’ attacks against Christians in Nigeria. With the high prevalence of such attacks against Christians, what should be the Christian response to them? I adopt a descriptive approach to argue that prayer is an effective way of responding to violence against Christians in Nigeria. In order to achieve this purpose, I first engage in exegeting Genesis 4:1-16. Afterward, I describe the nature of violence against Christians in Nigeria. Finally, I describe what should be the response of Christians in Nigeria to violence against them. Keywords: Christians in Nigeria, Violence, Divine Response, Terrorism, Nigerian Christians’ Response DOI : 10.7176/JPCR/43-01 Publication date : April 30 th 2019

Summary
I think Christians should learn from how God responded to the first violence as recorded in Genesis 4. Genesis 4 is concerned with how God responded to the first blood shed by the first perpetrator of violence.
