THE General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor
Adejare Adeboye, has called on Nigerians to pray against calamities in
the nation, noting that all the recent bad happenings were not the will
of God.
And from the new Prelate, Methodist Church of Nigeria, His
Eminence, Dr. Samuel Chukwuemeka Kanu Uche, has come admonition that
politicians should eschew corruption and embrace love, integrity and
probity to turn the nation around.
Speaking during the weekend at
the Redeemed Christian Church of God Headquarters, Ebute-Metta, where he
prayed for civil servants, Adeboye said God is merciful and when a
nation turns to Him in penitence, He would surely hear and repent of any
evil He may want to bring upon the nation as a result of the sins of
the people.
“The recent and latest plane crash and the killings of
innocent children in school while they were sleeping were not the will
of God at all. The nation should pray for God’s mercy and peace to
return,” he said.
Adeboye admonished civil servants to work with
conscience, be diligent and realise that God is a faithful rewarder of
those that are honest in all they do. “It is a general knowledge that
one would receive commendation when everything is going on well while
serving man, but as soon as that fellow makes a mistake, they would turn
against him.
“So, let the fear of God be in you in the course of
your service and God who does not fail to reward diligence would
certainly reward you”, he said.
Also speaking at the service, the
Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, urged
operators in the aviation sector to be more diligent and proactive and
take their job seriously because any little mistake on their part would
claim lives.
Addressing the media after his investiture at the
Methodist Church of the Trinity, Tinubu, Lagos, Uche, who said his
prayer for Nigeria would centre on political stability, social harmony
and economic buoyancy, lamented that political thuggery was sown by
disgruntled politicians.
“If our politicians can change and create employment for the teeming unemployed, there would be peace in the nation,” he said.
The
prelate, who noted that the riches of the nation are being cornered by a
few citizens, urged Nigerians to love God and trust Him so that there
would be peace, security sand happiness in the nation.
