God ‘ll give Buhari solution to Nigeria’s problem in 2017- Kumuyi

The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, on Sunday said that in 2017, God would grant President Muhammad Buhari the solution to the numerous challenges facing the country.

Kumuyi gave the assurance while speaking with newsmen when he played host to the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr Mudashiru Obasa, who led some members of the Assembly on courtesy visit to the church’s December Convention.

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.

Adeboye charges governors to Protect people ‘s interest,

The General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Saturday admonished state governors in the country to protect the interest of their people.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Adeboye made the call in Ado-Ekiti at the palace of Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Adeyemo Adejugbe.

The renowned cleric, who paid the courtesy call on the monarch before attending a crusade at the unusually crowded Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, Ado Ekiti, described Gov. Ayo Fayose as a great defender of his people and their cause.

He commended the governor for taking great risks of defending and protecting the interests of his people.

‎“Your Excellency, we thank God for your life, courage, boldness and being willing to take the risk.

“You are doing this so that your people can be protected and I know you are aware of what I am talking about.

“You can be sure that we are praying for you and you will succeed. I hope other governors will stand for their people like you and defend their people and say enough is enough,” he said.

Adeboye, who prayed for the restoration of the lost glory of Ekiti, also commended Oba Adejugbe for leading his people in the way of the Lord.

Earlier, the governor said Nigerians appreciate the efforts of Adeboye at taking the gospel round the world‎.

“We ‎know that it is at this time of the year that you go round and we pray that God strengthens you.

“Your visit is annually and when a man of God passes by, we want to take that advantage for him to bless us. We appreciate your efforts at taking the gospel round the world‎,” he said.

NAN reports that Oba Adejugbe also described Adeboye’s visit as a blessing to the palace and the people of the state in general.

Pastor Adeboye later held a revival at the stadium and later visited Ikere Ekiti, Ilawe Ekiti and Ogotun-Ekiti.
