Prayers
Omu-Aran (Kwara), July 9, 2018 (NAN) Bishop David Omorinoye of the Bible Faith Evangelical Mission in Omu-Aran, Kwara, on Monday urged Nigerians to intensify prayers for the nation’s economic progress, peace and stability.
Omorinoye, also a former Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Irepodun Council chapter in Kwara, made the call at an inter-denomination special prayer in Omu-Aran, Irepodun Local Government Area.
The cleric said that the prayer was organised to seek God’s intervention over the spate of recent killings in some parts of the country and other challenges confronting the nation.
Omorinoye said that the nation’s socio-economic and security challenges were surmountable through stakeholders’ collective responsibility.
According to him, nothing under the sun can be accomplished without God’s assistance and permission.
“Therefore, fervent prayers, spiritual stability, magnanimous acts and love are what we need in this period.
“This is the path toward ensuring growth, financial stability, peaceful co-existence among individuals and the larger society.
“We want God to grant unto our political office holders the knowledge, understanding and wisdom for good governance.
“Prayer for this great nation called Nigeria is our collective responsibility,” Omorinoye said.
He urged religious leaders to be in the fore-front of promoting the campaign against hate speeches and corruption through their preaching.
The bishop also called on parents to be alive to their responsibilities of promoting decent and good moral upbringing among their children.
He urged the political class to close ranks and embrace tolerance so as to command the confidence of the electorate at all times.
“Definitely, our children are the leaders of tomorrow; we should do our possible best as religious leaders and parents to actualise their dreams and aspirations,” he said. (NAN)
