Be hopeful for divine positive turnaround, Cleric tells Nigerians

Nigerians have been urged to remain hopeful and faithful to God for a positive turnaround of events in the country in spite of the uncertainty of the economic climate.

The assertion was made by the Chairman of North-East Baptist Conference, Rev Ezekiel Oyebode in his sermon to mark the first Sunday of the year 2024 at GoodNews Baptist Church, Wuntin Dada, Bauchi..

Taking his text from Jeremiah chapter 18 verses 1-5, the Clergyman expressed confidence that things will get better but only if Nigerians will look up to God for divine intervention in the affairs of the country.

He said “Just as God remoulded the vessel shown to Jeremiah in the text, He is ready to remould the marred situation of Nigeria both economically, politically and most importantly, security-wise.

“The new year 2024 holds a lot of positivities for Nigeria and Nigerians but the only thing required is faith, hope and obedience. God has promised and He will never fail. He is still in the process of remoulding our future positively.”

Ezekiel Oyebode called for prayers for all leaders in the country stressing that the importance of effective and fervent prayers cannot be overemphasized in the existence of any nation.

The Clergyman further expressed confidence that the Church will triumph over any form of persecution warning however that, “God will not spare attackers and persecutors of the Church unless they have a rethink and repent.”

He also challenged leaders at all levels to be fair, just and equitable in the discharge of their duties reminding them that they put in place for a purpose which they must diligently discharge.
