The Celica Church of Christ has called on Nigerians to embrace a spiritual revolution to address the country’s challenges, it warned that protests may not provide a permanent solution and could lead to bloodshed and instability if it is hijacked by miscreants.
In a statement released to the media, the church’s founder, Revd. Dr. Adetunji Adeonigbagbe, emphasized that protests, if not carefully managed, might degenerate into a breakdown of law and order in the country thereby resulting in the destruction of properties. He noted that what Nigerians are seeking for are good policies, effective programmes and purposeful leadership to enable the country to attain the desired heights, where citizens can have sustainable livelihoods and have access to basic necessities.
The man of God said there is a missing spiritual link in Nigeria’s governance, urging the nation to reconnect with God in order to surmount its challenges. He proposed the formation of a spiritual council composed of true prophets of God from the Christian and Islamic faiths, who are not afraid to speak the truth to leaders in Nigeria. This council would review government policies and programmes, seeking divine guidance before implementation of such policies.
He suggested that same councils be established at state and local government levels.
He cited a divine message received over the past 10 years, Revd. Adetunji Adeonigbagbe spoke of a spiritual revolution that would sweep away those hindering the nation’s progress and development unless they repent and govern with the fear of God. He drew references to the biblical liberation of the Israelites from Egypt through a spiritual revolution, asserting that God is still capable of liberating Nigeria from oppression.
Revd. Adeonigbagbe urged all Nigerians to pray for divine intervention and urged government at all levels take decisive action on issues such as power, food security, accountability, housing, job creation, reducing cost of governance, transportation and measures to curb corruption.
Revd Adeonigbagbe said Nigeria is God’s project and the Lord will take full control of its affairs in due course.
