Nigeria will attain her greatness, says Rev. Badejo
The former General Overseer of Foursquare Gospel Church Nigeria and President, Wilson Badejo Foundation, Wilson Badejo, in commemorating Nigeria’s 60th Independence anniversary has urged Nigerians not to be weary of praying for the country, as he believes she will attain her greatness, saying Nigeria is established by God for his people to habitat.
Badejo gave the admonition at the annual Solemn Assembly of ministers and churches around Fadeyi, Onipan and Jibowu areas of Lagos.
According to him, Nigeria is a nation planted and blessed by God to prosper and flourish, but like the case of the children of Israel possessing the promised land, there will always be the giants, seen as challenges today; to distract, discouraged and threaten her faith in God.
Badejo therefore called on Nigerians not to lose focus of who they are and where they are going. But to remain steadfast thanking God and pray consistently, genuinely and faithfully stay committed to the service of God.
“Despite situations and challenges, Nigeria have reason to be thankful for her existence. The impact and prayers of the faithful has kept this nation, Nigeria to be strong and keep going,” said Badejo.
On the state of insecurity in Nigeria, Badejo said, “Our warfare is not canal and if we are willing and humble, God will answer our prayers to turn things around for our own good,” stating that Nigeria will overcome all her challenges, conquer her enemies and become prosperous to the glory of God.
Femi Adegbosin, the coordinator of the annual meeting and zonal superintendent of Foursquare Gospel Church Nigeria in Fadeyi area, thanked God for the consistency of the annual nondenominational gathering that started about seven years ago and the impacts among ministers of God in the area, especially the spiritual impact.
“Praying in unity has strengthened the ministers and churches in Fadeyi, Onipan and Jibowu. Also helped to reduced criminal activities in the environment,” said Adegbosin.
Rev. Wilson Badejo convened the Solemn Assembly in 2014 as a nondenominational gathering for ministers and churches around Fadeyi, Onipan and Jibowu environs with the aim of standing in the gap and holds the solemn assembly prayer every 1 October for the emancipation of the host communities and Nigeria as a nation.
Among the ministers from different denomination who participated in the annual assembly includes Apostle Samuel, Pastor Imade Stephen, Pastor (Mrs.) Kemi Ushie and others. While highlight of the meeting was the special prayers for the peace of Nigeria, and Lagos State in particular.
