Nigeria needs God’s mercy to be great again — Cleric

Founder of The New Seraph Church, Dr Oluwaseye Yomi-Sholoye, has said Nigeria needs God’s mercy to overcome its current challenges.

Speaking at a special prayer moment organised for the country at the just-concluded Night of Divine Experience – NODE 5.0, the Iya Aladura General reiterated that The New Seraph will continue to pray for the unity, progress, prosperity of Nigeria.

“We want Nigeria to progress as one entity, not a dismembered nation and we know that besides hard work and effort, there is more.

“Psalm 127 says, unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labour in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.

‘’This is why we saw the need to gather as a people to cry to God for mercy over the affairs of Nigeria and that is what we have just done.

“It is, however, our prayer that God Almighty crowns the efforts of this administration, so Nigeria can be great again,” she said.

In his part, the Lagos State Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria, Bishop S.T.V. Adegbite, led a congregation of over 500,000 participants to pray for the progress and peace of Nigeria alongside divine will and wisdom for the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration.

The cleric asked God to restore the country’s glory with His divine blessing, while declaring peace throughout the length and breadth of the nation.

The Night of Divine Experience is an Annual Prayer Vigil organised by The New Seraph with a view to winning souls for Christ and praying for the nation.
