“I never had any reason to struggle nor lack any good thing in my life.’’
While acknowledging God as his source, the speaker urged Nigerians to keep praying for leaders, saying that without prayers, nothing could be achieved.
He said conventional problems do not need conventional wisdom but divine wisdom, stressing that “Nigeria needs God’s blessings at all times.
“The nation needs steadfast leaders who will do the will of God, not theirs.
“We need your prayers, we can’t do it alone.’’
Pastor John Adelekan, the Senior Pastor of the Church, urged the congregation to keep praying for leaders in the country, adding that this was the right thing to do.
He said “service to God pays, as it is the easiest way to experience unending blessings from Him.’’
The pastor said service to God also opened the doors of favour when a man’s way pleased God, as He would make ones enemies to be at peace with him.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the speaker was in company of his wife and nine other representatives.
