The Senior Pastor, Word Alive Ministries, Ibadan, Arc. Alex Adeboye, on Tuesday, called on Nigerians to return to God and live in righteousness, for the country to 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 the will of God over the country, saying God’s kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy will come to the land soon.
Adeboye however, stressed that God will reign in Nigeria despite the challenges facing the country.
Quoting Proverbs 14:34 from the holy book, Adegboye added that the scripture gives human beings the opportunity 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 Nigerians break 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 and that is why Nigeria is what it is today”.
Adegboye prayed that Nigeria, by the spirit of God, will submit itself to the will of God.
