The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William has expressed optimism that the new government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osibanjo will change Nigeria.
The cleric believes that the duo will bring about the change they promised Nigerians during their campaigns.
The holiness preacher gave this message of hope at Kaduna Airport weekend after holding a revival crusade in the state.
He said: “With the past records of the President as well as the Vice President, I believe they meant what they said during the campaigns and I want to say they will really focus on the drive to bring the change they actually spoke about and I believe we will see change.
”The emergence of Buhari as President was ordained by God and l urge the President to rule with the fear of God.”
According to him, “Anyone in position of government is there by the ordination of God, and so should rule with the fear of God. We should look at whatever mistakes the past government made and see how to sincerely correct those mistakes and not only to dwell on the mistakes but move us forward so that we can have a better country for a new generation of Nigerians.”
Speaking on how the church in Nigeria can help in fighting corruption, the former university don noted that corruption is a sin against God and urged religious leaders to teach their members to live a righteous and godly life.
“The church cannot solve the problems of the whole country, but obviously we can solve part of the problems. We, who are preachers in churches should help our people to understand that corruption is an evil thing, a sin against God, a sin against society and a sin against humanity in general.
“Therefore our ministers in the churches should preach to help the people live a commendable, righteous and godly life.”
“But everybody is not in church, other leaders of religious groups should influence people who come to their places of worship, whether christians or not to see that we all join hands together to combat corruption.
“Of course the government too will do its own part among the civil servants so that we can all join hands and fight against the monster of corruption”, he said.
