Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says recent happenings in
the country show that Nigerians are not getting ready for the kingdom of God.
Speaking at the dedication of St. Moses Orimolade Holy Land,
the tomb of the Cherubim and Seraphim church founder, the ex-president urged
Nigerians to be steadfast in their faith.
“The situation we have in the country today does not show we
are preparing for the kingdom of God but we have to be prepared. There is
always a day of reckoning,” Obasanjo said on Saturday.
He went on to eulogise Orimolade, describing him as one of
the greatest missionaries to have existed, and also prayed that the efforts of
other church leaders in Nigeria who helped in spreading the gospel will not be
in vain.
“Christianity was brought to us and many of our people made
great contributions and they are unsung heroes now. Missionaries came but we
have our own missionaries and leaders and Moses Orimolade was one of them,” he
said.
“It is because of the church that you and I have the
assurance of salvation. Our own church leaders who paid their own prize also
helped in spreading the gospel and we pray their efforts are not in vain.”
