General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has again urged Nigerians not to lose hope in the country as the nation will make it against all odds.
Speaking at a special prayer and thanksgiving service for tenants and their families at the RCCG national head-quarters, Throne of Grace Parish, Ebute-Metta, Lagos with a theme: “Building My Own House”, he said, “God is the master builder and when we let Him know how much we depend on Him for sustenance and be grateful with the little He has done, we will make it.”
Speaking after the service, the Special Assistant to Pastor Adeboye on Personnel and Administration, Pastor John-son Odesola, said before Festac 77, the naira was equivalent to a dollar and the economy was stronger and better, until Nigerians forgot God and brought all idols in the world to the country.
He said: “Shortly after Festac ’77, we started experiencing negative development in the country. We didn’t appreciate God with our oil boom. If we really want God to build this nation, we must return to Him and let Him occupy our national life and know how to manage our successes.”
Odesola also urged Federal and state governments to construct more low cost housing estates to curb the challenge of housing in the country because of the geometric population grow-th in the nation.
“They should address the acute housing deficit in the country. As a religious organisation, we are partnering with government to supplement their efforts by providing affordable houses to the preponderance members of our church,” he said.
