Lawal Blames Politicians, Civil Servants, Bankers For Nigeria’s Current Woes
THE Presiding Pastor of Glorious Restoration Church of Christ ( GRCC), Ogun State, Paul Lawal, has said that politicians, civil servants and some bankers are the cause of Nigeria’s current economic crises.
The cleric stated this recently at the dedication of GRCC Church Auditorium in Ogun State. He decried the gap between the rich and poor is too wide, saylng there is need to have an all inclusive government and economy.
Urging Nigerians to shun ostentatious lifestyle, Lawal assured the people of God’s intervention if only they would depend on Him for direction.
He said: “What I will tell Nigerians is that they should calm down because change is coming. This is not the time to start a project you cannot complete. This is not the time for ostentatious living. People should scale down things that are not necessary. They should reduce luxury and focus on necessity.”
Lawal also called on the government to make funds available for small business owners to thrive, especially in the face of the current harsh situation.
Speaking on the new auditorium, the cleric said, it is not merely a building of bricks and mortar, but a sacred house where we will gather to worship, pray and seek spiritual nourishment in season and out of season, adding that it will be a place where the undiluted word of God will be proclaimed, where lives will be transformed and where the love of Christ will be shared.
“As we dedicate this new church auditorium, let us also recommit ourselves to the service of God and our fellow men. Let us remember that the true beauty of this building lies not in the architecture, but in the lives that will be touched and transformed within and beyond the walls,” he said.
Some of guests that graced the event included the Presiding Prophet, CAC Ori- Oke Baba Abiye Ede, Osun State/ Special Guest Minister; Prophet Funso Akande; Gospel artiste, Evang. Tope Alabi, among others.
