Economy: Cleric Urges Nigerians To Go Spiritual

A Gospel Preacher in
Nigeria, Dr Abel Damina, has called on Nigerians to put their hope and confidence in God alone in the face of the present economic depression that the country is faced with.
He said that as Nigerians look up to God, rather than man, God will intervene and that the bad economy will supernaturally be turned around.
Damina, founder of Power City International Church, Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, who disclosed this to newsmen at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, said that when things go wrong and one does not know what to do, the best place is to turn and look up to God.
“Our prayer is that God should give our leaders wisdom for them to know what to do and do them as required and also follow the direction of God.
“In the Bible, when things were rough in the land of Egypt, the economy was down and everything was down, God raised a man by the name Joseph.
“Joseph brought ideas and wisdom to the government and the idea and wisdom Joseph brought, tuned around the economy and Egypt became a very rich place at that time because of the wisdom and idea of Joseph.
“Our prayer for Nigeria is that God should raise up Josephs in the government who will come up with ideas that will turn the situation around.
“In the interim, Nigerians should be patient and trust God to make a way where there is no way,” Damina said.
To the church in Nigeria, the preacher urged pastors to make sure that the message that is preached, will be such that will build faith in the people.
He said that preaching of the gospel of faith in Jesus Christ will build confidence in the people even in this economic situation in the country, adding that God can use any body he chooses and urged Nigerians to forget the past.
