Alex Ogundipe, Senior Pastor of Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Daki-Biyu District, Kubwa Branch, Abuja, has urged Nigerians to keep hope alive amid the current economic crisis in the country.

Ogundipe spoke yesterday on the sidelines of the 19th Annual Harvest Thanksgiving Service of the church, themed, ‘Double Glory.’

He urged Nigerians to guard against utterances that are capable of causing a crisis in the country.

He said: “God installs all governments. No matter how a governor or a government gets there, God must have a hand in it. God installed Abacha that many people were crying about, but some people made it under Abacha.

“Nobody gets to a seat of power to preside over the people except with the authority of God.

“If you keep saying the bad things of Nigeria, you won’t witness the good. But if you align yourself with God’s purpose that this land flows with milke and honey, God will surprise you.

“Nigeria is a good land. It flows with milk and honey. If you don’t believe it, you won’t benefit, but if you believe and confess positively, it will be your portion.”

Commenting on the 64th independence anniversary celebration of the nation, the clergyman charged the general public to be agents of peace.

Chairman of the 2024 harvest committee, Evangelist Adeshina Ajimati, said the programme was held to celebrate God’s faithfulness to Nigeria.
