The General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has urged Nigerians to allow God work things out for the country.
The cleric said the human knowledge alone cannot solve the numerous challenges confronting Nigeria at the moment.
He advised the electorate to look and work beyond the election of the next President in 2023.
Kumuyi spoke yesterday in Ikorodu where he is leading the Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK) tagged: Total Emancipation by the Authority of Christ.
The religious programme starts today at the sports ground of the Lagos State University of Science and Technology (formerly LASPOTECH) and runs till August 2.
A pigeon was released at the venue to symbolise the reign of peace in Nigeria.
Kumuyi said: “As I watch and read in the news about happenings in the country, I am more concerned about the future of our country. As a country, we argue about many things. But I want to say that when we are looking into the keyhole with both eyes, we don’t see anything.
“It’s time for us as a country to step back and allow God to move this nation to where we are supposed to be as the giant of Africa. It’s something I am very optimistic that the Lord can do.
“Let’s stop fighting each other. Let’s stop the confrontation. Let’s stop opposing one another. Let’s step back and give God a chance to work in this country. That way, Nigeria and Africa will become great again.”
The cleric expressed displeasure over happenings in the country.
According to him, the fighting and agitation among the different tribes and religious bodies need to stop.
Kumuyi stressed that such approach would not solve the challenges confronting the nation.
He also promised to engage the youth in “Unlimited Potential (UP)” through the Impact Academy during the crusade to show them how to move from where they are currently to where God wants them to be.
On the essence of the crusade, Kumuyi said: “I have been to many places in Nigeria and will soon be going outside the country for this Global Crusade. We have seen a lot happening, lives are being transformed.
“Family was united, the yolk was being broken and we are hearing testimonies all over the world. Here is our own time in Lagos State. I am assuring everyone in Lagos State, Nigeria, Africa, and the world that you will have good testimonies. This crusade is not for Christian or deeper life members alone, it is for everybody.”
The acting Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Dr. Oluremi Olaleye, promised the institution’s support for the success of the crusade.
