Lent: Sowale urges Nigerians to seek God more

BISHOP of Ilesa Anglican Diocese, Osun State, Right Reverend Olubayo Sowale, has called on Nigerians to put Jesus Christ at the centre of their daily endeavours.

Sowale stated this during a sermon at the special Lenten service.

He noted that for a greater nation, Nigerians should make judicious use of the ongoing Lenten period to move closer to God, thereby building strong and sustainable spiritual lives through fasting, praying and giving.

The cleric, who bemoaned the increasing spate of kidnapping, assassinations, devastation and widespread corruption in the country, explained the only solution was for Nigerians to turn to God in prayers and fasting for His intercession.

Sowale described the ongoing 40 days of fasting and prayer as a period of sober reflection and the appropriate time for Nigerians to seek the face of God.

He pleaded with Christians all over the world to use the Lenten period to pray more for one another, the church of God and the family.
