The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged Nigerians to have faith in God, be prayerful and grateful.
Pastor Adeboye spoke yesterday at the Special Prayer and Thanksgiving service for Landlords and Tenants by the RCCG, National Headquarters, Throne of Grace Parish, Ebute-Metta, Lagos.
The programme featured prayers, song rendition, bible teaching and prophetic ministration.
He said God owns all nations and he is the master builder and anyone who wants to enjoy His mercy and favour must have faith in him.
His words: “Nigeria belongs to God. It is indeed a blessed nation. I have never seen a nation as blessed as Nigeria . We only need to put our faith in God to build our nation.
“Psalm 127:1: Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labour in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.
“God is the master builder and when we let him know how much we depend on him for sustenance and be grateful with the little he has done, we will make it.
“Our economy became awful when we forgot God and brought in idols.”
Pastor Adeboye, speaking through his Special Assistant on Personnel and Administration, Pastor Johnson Odesola, said before Festac 77, the Naira was equivalent to a dollar and “our economy was stronger and better, until we forgot God and became the laughing stock of the world”.
“It is only what He does that can stand and if we really want God to build this nation, we must return back to Him, know Him personally and let Him occupy our national life.”
