The Senior Pastor, Word Alive Ministries, Ibadan, Arc. Alex Adegboye, on Tuesday, called on Nigerians to return to God and live in righteousness so that the country could end the many tribulations facing it.
Speaking in Ibadan, as the ministry popularly known as Stone Church prepares for its 30th anniversary, Adegboye also said Nigeria is a country created by God for a purpose.
He charged Nigerians to ensure that they carry out God’s will for the country, saying God’s kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy will soon come to the land.
Adegboye, however, stressed that God will reign in Nigeria, despite the country’s challenges.
Quoting Proverbs 14:34 from the holy book, Adegboye added that the scripture allows human beings to return to God, each time they err, saying doing things right, as Nigerians will exalt the country.
Arc. Adegboye, who expressed displeasure at the rate at which Nigerians break the law with impunity, urged them to adhere to the stringent laws of the land for the country to be better.
He said, “Our nation is so programmed with unrighteousness that it has become second nature for us. We break every law with impunity, which is why Nigeria is what it is today.”
Adegboye prayed that Nigeria, by the spirit of God, would submit itself to the will of God.
Speaking earlier, the Chairman of the Convention Planning Committee, Dr Sola Akande, announced the 2023 edition of the Dunamis, themed “Kingdom Come”.
According to him, the programme will host ministers and leaders from the United Kingdom and Nigeria between the 25th to 30th of April 2023 at the church headquarters in Ibadan.
Akande revealed that participants from other church branches from within and outside the country will also attend the annual convention.
“It will be a time to celebrate Jesus, who is the core of the Ministry. We will have another opportunity to bring people to salvation, growth and development. Leading a team of highly sought-after Ministers of God will be the Senior Pastor of the Church, Arc. Alex Adegboye. Also to officiate are Bro. Paul Jinadu, the General overseer, New Covenant Church, Rev. Bola Akin-John and myself,” Dr. Akande said.
Wow! Wow!! We thank God for you, Arc. Alex Adegboye, for sure, every country leader must know this scripture, Proverbs 14:34.
