Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, on Sunday urged Nigerians to create time to pray regularly for the country’s economic development.
Adeboye made the appeal in Lagos at a special prayer session organised for the Chief Executive Officers of organisations at the RCCG National Headquarters in Ebute Meta, Lagos.
He also urged the people to obey God’s commandments so as to attract His blessings, stressing: “God rewards those who diligently seek Him.
“Many people forget what God has done for them, that is why He does not do new ones.
“If you want more blessings from God, be grateful for what He has done for you in the past.
“For some people, it does not matter what they are selling, they will surely succeed because they made God their friend.
“Those who make sacrifices to God always receive bountiful rewards.”
Adeboye urged Nigerians to always praise God in spite of the current challenges facing the country, assuring them that “God who performs special miracles will never fail Nigerians.
“Organisations are folding up and unemployment is on the increase and this has contributed to the high rate of poverty in our country.
“It is God’s desire that we all prosper in wealth and in good health because it is uppermost in His mind that we should be fruitful and multiply.
“Therefore, we need His divine assistance to help us to succeed in our businesses, professions and vocations to improve ourselves and the society.”
Adeboye stressed that prayer was a major way to achieve breakthroughs.
Also speaking, Dr. Felix Ohiwerei, the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Breweries, urged CEOs to have the fear of God, assuring them that God would guard them wisely.
Ohiwerei said: “The word of God says the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
“If people conduct their businesses with the fear of God, they will be divinely guided and things will work well.
“lf they conduct their businesses the way that God wants it, He will continue to bless them.
“The road to success is fear God.
“Obey Him, do His will and blessings will pour down.”
Commenting, Joseph Adenuga, the Chairman of Shebah Oil Limited, stressed that the spiritual always controlled the physical, urging Nigerians to always pray for the country’s development.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the dignitaries who attended the special prayer session included Chief Michael Adeojo, the Chairman of Elizade Motors; and Quincy Ayodele, the Managing Director of Quincy Herbal Slimmer.
