Okotie to Nigerians: Be hopeful for better days
For the Shepherd Superintendent of the Household of God Church, Lagos, Rev Chris Okotie, Nigerians should use the occasion of the nation’s 64th Independence Anniversary to reinforce their faith in God’s sure promises.
In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by Rev Okotie’s media adviser, Ladi Ayodeji, the cleric, who quoted profusely from the Bible in his main text on Abraham’s story, urged Nigerians to be hopeful always for better days, as God does not abandon his people.
“These are perilous times. Our faith in God must become the Gyrostat, which keeps us afloat as we navigate the tempestuous waters of our convoluted reality. Nigeria is a client nation for God. Nigeria has a prophetic destiny. Therefore, the sovereign superintendence of Almighty God is assured. Nigeria is strong. Nigeria will survive. So, hope on. Hope ever. Hope on. Hope ever!”
Okotie has always insisted that Nigeria enjoys a special bond with God, and so the country’s trajectory should not bother the citizens.
