Religious Leaders are being tasked by Osinbajo to lead people to truth and justice

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has charged the country’s churches and religious leaders with leading people in the search of truth and justice.

Osinbajo gave a speech at the All Saints Anglican Church in Wuse Zone 5 in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, on Sunday (FCT).

“The church is a place where people can be delivered from terror, oppression, and everlasting damnation, a source of succour, joy, and encouragement,” Osinbajo remarked. We must continue to build churches and houses of worship, knowing that everywhere a church is planted, the light and power of the gospel of Jesus Christ’s love is established as the answer to the world’s darkness, suffering, and misery.

“Evil and hatred are more powerful than ever, and the war between light and darkness is more intense than ever, but the church will triumph.”

The church edifice, according to the vice-president, is a spectacular architectural feat with gorgeous finishes and cutting-edge design.

The most powerful weapon mankind has against anarchy and the work of darkness, according to the Primate of the Anglican Church in Nigeria, Most Rev. Henry Ndukauba, who spoke to journalists shortly after the commissioning of the church edifice, is the power of God and the word of God.

He asked Nigerians and the political class to band together and always do the right thing.

“We must band together. We call on politicians, religious and traditional leaders, and all those in positions of power to act responsibly. Only by working together will we be able to triumph. It is unacceptable to see breaches in our security, compromise, and treachery within our system. We demand that the military and politics be honest.

“Nothing drives a nation down faster than deception. Leadership deception can jeopardize a country’s security and integrity. If we love Nigeria, we must quit compromising and live as nationalists. “One day, God will arise for this nation,” he said.

The Anglican Church is dedicating a new church building and honoring God’s faithfulness at a difficult moment in the country’s history, according to Ndukauba, who added that the country may still reach great milestones with persistence.

“We need to encourage people not to give up; we face security, economic, and other challenges, but we want to encourage everyone because the church is also a part of society; we are not immune to what is going on around us; in fact, we are suffering from it. But we want to encourage everyone not to give up because God has not given up on us; we are trusting God that Nigeri will be restored.

“The church’s responsibility should be to pray and preach God’s word. The power of God and the word of God are the most powerful weapons we have against anarchy and the activities of the devil. He has never let us down, so let us persevere in our trust. Let us put our faith in God and work together, wherever possible, to help those around us,” he urged.
