A Christian cleric, Bishop Michael Adebomi, has called on Christians in the country, especially members of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria to pray for God’s intervention in the affairs of the country.
The cleric who observed that the government has no solution to the problems bedevilling the country, declared that it’s only God that has solution to the problems confronting the country..
Bishop Adebomi who is the coordinator of Nigeria Prays, an interdenominational Christian group, therefore called on Nigerians to stop looking unto those in the corridor of power for solution to the problems confronting the country.
He noted that the various challenges facing the country are beyond the leaders, hence, the need to seek God’s intervention for solution to the problems.
Adebomi spoke at the inauguration of the new executives of the group held at Covenant of Peace Redemption Power Ministry, Owode Ilesa road, Osogbo.
He said ‘we are in the state of distress in Nigeria and it seems everybody is confused, including our leaders. The only way out of our problems is God, we need to appeal to Him, those that are called by His name should take up the responsibility.
‘God is looking for somebody in a community that will bring change in Nigeria. Don’t wait on the government, Governors or Senators, they have no power to change Nigeria, only God has the power.
‘We are begging people to pray for Nigeria because we have all sinned and God is not happy with Nigeria, we should sincerely seek the face of God. The Lord will transform our land and it will bring a good result that will give us testimonies in a short period of time,” he added.
Speaking at the event, Osun state chairman of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) Prophet Isaiah Adelowokan urged the new executives to be more committed in praying for Nigeria.
Adelowokan noted that the nation needs prayer more than before in the areas of security and economy.
He stressed that the masses are crying and things are not favourable, hence the need for solemn prayer.
Also speaking, Rev. Jacob Asani advised the new executives of the group to be dedicated and serve God diligently and to also exhibit the virtues of good children of God always.
