The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has called on the three tiers of government in the country to redouble its efforts to curb insecurity.
The PFN president, Bishop Wale Oke, who said this in a Christmas message on Friday also called on the government to also address the economic crisis which it said was causing hardship for Nigerians.
Oke also called on Nigerians not to be dampened by whatever harrowing experience they might be going through presently.
He said the birth of Jesus Christ which is being celebrated around the world, represents hope and joy for mankind.
Oke, who is also the President of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries, counseled that the birth of Jesus Christ offered an opportunity to the people for them to commit their ways to God and be truthful in their earthly service to humanity.
Oke said, “This season which celebrates the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, represents hope and joy for all the people of the earth. So, regardless of the situation we find ourselves, this opportunity given to you and I on a silver platter,shows that we should be more than grateful by serving Him, the Almighty, with everything in us.
“The authorities in the country, in the spirit of the season should double up their efforts in confronting the challenges facing the people in all forms.
“Our government at all levels, should continue to work relentlessly towards making sure that our security, economic and political challenges, among others, are turned around for the good of the country and its people.
“Our economy should be knocked into shape by revamping it so as to bring down, high cost of living in the land.”
On the coming year, 2022, Oke assured that it would be filled with abundant blessings and joy for the nation and its people, particularly those who key into the programmes of God.
“Though 2022 will be a year of abundant joy, this will however be for those who totally commit their ways to God by being obedient to His ordinances.We must all endeavor to serve God in truth and in spirit,” he added.
While praying for God’s provision and protection on the people as the year is coming to an end and the new year begins, the PFN President urged the populace to always live peaceably among themselves by not allowing religion, politics or tribal sentiments to cause friction among them.
Oke added, “It is only in an atmosphere of peace, borne out of mutual love, understanding and respect amongst ourselves that we can enjoy all that God has blessed this nation with. That also remains the only way to move the nation towards achieving its potentials.”
