The cleric said, “We talk of the hours of recession,
difficulty, distress and all that, but God is granting us His promises. We are
not going to carry over our problems. “We pray and believe that the Lord will
answer.
“As you will see, as we get to the New Year, there is no
carryover of our problems. God will give solutions to the problems of our
lives, families, communities, the state and our nation.”
The pastor said that with prayer and faith in God, the
country would get out of all its challenges, including the economic recession.
The founder of the church said that God created ‘’us and
wants everything to be sufficient for everybody.’’ Meanwhile, addressing the
congregation of thousands of worshippers, Obasa, urged all Christians to show
love to their neighbours, adding that the state was committed to fight
unemployment among the youth.
He said that the
newly created Employment Trust Fund would help reduce joblessness by providing
soft loan with little interest for enterprising people of Lagos state. “We must
go beyond religious demarcation and show ourselves that we are brothers and
sisters.
Let us love one
another. We should extend hands of fellowship to our neighbours,” the speaker
said. Obasa, who urged churches to pray for the state and nation, said that the
state was passionate to give good governance and improve the economy of the
state for the benefit of all.
He expressed delight over the warmth reception accorded his
team by the leadership of the church. NAN reports that the speaker the Deputy
Majority Leader of the House, Mr Muyiwa Jimoh and the Chairman, House Committee
on Environment, Mr Dayo Saka-Fafunmi were among the team. Mrs Funmilayo
Tejuosho, the Chairman, House Committee on Judiciary,
Human Rights, Petitions and Lagos State Independent
Electoral Commission among others government functionaries also made the list.
NAN reports that the four-day, nation-wide convention, which started on Dec. 23
and expected to end on Dec. 26, is tagged, “Power for the Present Hour”.
