God Has Not Forsaken Nigeria -Bishop Ordu

The Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Evo, Rt. Rev. Innocent Uchechukwu Ordu, says that God has not forsaken Nigeria in spite of various challenges facing the country.
He stated this during the 2022 edition of the Diocese of Evo’s Praise and Prayer programme which was held at St. Jude’s Anglican Church, Oginigba Deanery to mark Nigeria’s 62nd Independence Anniversary.
“He has not forsaken us. He is set to redeem our nation. Nations and states are established by God for good ends, not for our destruction”, he said.
With reference to Psalm 33:12, Bishop Ordu made it clear that a nation is only blessed when the leaders and citizens choose to make the Lord their God and serve Him.
He urged all Christians, especially Diocese of Evo’s faithful to pray fervently for God’s intervention in the 2023 general elections to produce a set of leaders that would make Nigeria a greater country.
The preacher, Rev. Canon Hosanna Naenwi spoke on ‘Nigeria as a blessed nation,’ from Psalm 33:10-12.
He said just like Israel, Nigeria is blessed; but Nigerians must serve the Lord obediently, be involved in the running of the nation as Christians and take a stand against evil.
Several praise and worship sessions were led by various music maestros and the St Jude’s band while prayer sessions were led by various priests.
The event, which was moderated by Rev. Canon Ozioma Iheanetu ended with the singing of Nigeria’s National Anthem.
