Nigerians who don’t pray for their leaders are sinners – Cleric

Pastor Raphael Sunday of
the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Lafia,
Nasarawa state, on Sunday urged Nigerians,
especially those in public office and civil service
not to use current recession to engage in corrupt
practices.
Instead, he advised that people should remain
faithful and prayerful to ensure that the economic
challenge was o0vercome.
According to Sunday in his sermon entitled
“Exaltation and Elevation by Righteousness’’, it is
through faithfulness, righteousness and prayer
that the country could overcome all of its
problems.
“In this season, the tendency to compromise and
give in to the antics of the devil is very high.
“However, as Christians and Nigerians, we need to
be more faithful now than ever for God to hear our
prayer and heal our land of all forms of
challenges,’’ he said.
He encouraged Christian faithful and all Nigerians
to see the current economic challenges in the
country as a phase that would soon be over.
The cleric charged the congregation to desist from
castigating leaders, and support and pray for them
to succeed in their task of leadership and
governance.
“The Bible admonishes us to always pray for our
leaders and so anything short of that will be
considered as sin before God,’’ he added. (NAN)
