Leadership is all about service and never about self-aggrandizement, Senior Pastor of Christ Apostolic Ministry (CLAM) Lagos, Wole Oladiyun, has declared.
He spoke last Sunday during the 20th anniversary of the church.
Oladiyun told political as well as religious leaders to use their positions to empower people and change lives.
“People are suffering. As a political leader in your local community, you need to look inward and encourage petty traders through soft loans.
“Those who are into commerce, government should channel resources for them and also provide enabling environment for the business to drive.
“Every government has responsibility to God and to the people governed in the state,” he stated.
He appealed to all political office holders not to be selfish but lead with absolute humility.
On the anniversary, Oladiyun said: “We had our challenges from the foundation of the building and the resources at the beginning but the grace of God has been sufficient for us.
“For 20years of my calling, I do crusade to better the lives of the people within and outside the church without collection any offering from anyone.”
He mentioned Soteria maternity hospital built by the church as one of its achievements, adding “we also have farm settlement along Lagos Ibadan express road where we employ 10,000 youths every year to make food available to all Nigerians at a affordable prices.
He further explained the Voice of Joy and Gladness International Ministry run by his wife, Bukola has empowered youths on art and craft training.
