At church’s 51st anniversary, Nigerians urged to trust God for national restoration

0

Nigerians were told on Sunday that the country’s old glory will be restored if they believe in God “and work hard to ensure that selfish interest is substituted for national interest”.
Senior Superintendent Gabriel F. Akinadewo (Omo Jesu II) of Motailatu Church Cherubim and Seraphim Worldwide gave the advice during a special sermon to mark the church’s 51st founder’s anniversary.
The church was founded by Archbishop (Dr.) Isaiah M. Akinadewo (Omo Jesu) on June 14, 1964.
The anniversary was celebrated with special thanksgiving in all parishes of the church, including the international headquarters in Ondo, Ondo State.
Speaking at the Restoration Parish of the church in Akute, Ogun State, Akinadewo said: “nothing is too hard for the Lord, the God of all flesh to do. If and when Nigerians change from their evil ways, Nigeria will, once again, become the darling of all in the comity of nations”.
Quoting Jeremiah 17:5, the cleric said that Nigerians, for decades, had put their hope in human beings “and they have been disappointed. For this country to grow financially, spiritually, economically, politically and industrially, we must start to put our hope in God and, at the same time, do the right thing.
“According to Jeremiah 29:11, God has good plans for this country and its people but Nigerians are their own problems by deviating from God’s plans because of selfish interests. With the natural resources that abound in the country, there is enough for all Nigerians. Let us commit our ways unto God, trust Him and He shall bring His plans for us to pass.
“Nigerians are prayerful. In every street, you will see one, two or three churches. But it is not only the truth we know that will set this country free but the truth we do. We know the right thing to do and once this is done by removing selfishness from our thinking, God will move mightily to restore the old glory of this country”.
