Pastor William Kumuyi, the general
superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, said for things to
change in the country, there was a need for attitudinal change.
He said the change would begin with a step at a time and with a clear focus on where Nigeria is heading, Vanguard reports.
Speaking at a special Sunday service at
the church’s International Bible Training Centre, Ayobo, a suburb of
Lagos, the man of God expressed hope that current harsh economic
situation would soon be over.
He said Nigerians needed hope to make
progress and that once there is hope and focus, the nation would get to
its desired destination.
Reminded that Nigerians have not heard his voice on the spate of killing of Christians in the north, Pastor Kumuyi said: “Well
I don’t know where those people are living that you said have not heard
my voice. I just came back from FCT, from Benue, from Niger, from Kogi,
from Nasarawa, from Plateau, from Adamawa, from Gombe, from Bauchi,
from Taraba, and I’m on my way to Kaduna now.
“And
thousands of people gather together. I met with governors and deputy
governors and executives; we spoke about things, mapping out ways
forward. So I don’t know where those people are living that they have
not heard my voice. Those who want to hear are hearing and you are
hearing too.”
He therefore, called on Christians to
shun all forms of covetousness, fornication, idolatry, among others and
embrace righteousness and holiness of heart.
Also speaking, Governor Emmanuel Udom of
Akwa Ibom state expressed hope that the nation would soon get over its
present economic hardship.
He said there must be a wilderness before the Promised Land.
According to him, the prayers of Christian leaders and their followers was sustaining Nigeria despite the challenges.
“I think the current economic situation calls for a rethink so that we can now walk the talk of diversification of our economy,” he said.
On corruption, Udom said Nigerians must correct the notion that all those in government were corrupt.
He stressed that if corruption must be tackled in the nation, it must begin from individuals through attitudinal change.
