Stop Exaggerating the problems of this country - Bishop Wale Oke charged Christians

The president of the pentecostal fellowship of Nigeria, Bishop Francis Wale Oke has cautioned christians to be careful of how they discuss the affairs of this country. According to him people should stop amplifying or exaggerating the challenges Nigeria is experiencing, rather they should continue to seek God's face for solution.

He made this remarks on Sunday in Abuja during the  end of a three-day Anchor Men’s conference of the PFN themed “In His Presence.’’

According to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) the conference was part of an Anchor Business Breakfast Meeting organised annually by the Men’s Fellowship of Family Worship Centre (FWC) in Abuja.

In his words Bishop Oke said “Christians should not amplify the challenges or problems of the country, but pray and fill the vacuum of worries and anxieties" adding that “God is showing mercy to our country and we shall prevail if we the people do not relent in prayers or give excuses not to pray."

 He also advised Christians, especially Christian men not to lose close contact and relationships with God, His words and His presence. The reason is, it is in God’s presence that men will get clear directions for life.

“According to Philippians 4:6 in the Holy Bible, God says be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayerful and supplicate with thanksgiving; let your requests be made known to God.

`This is the will of God, so instead of worrying and amplifying the challenges, pray about everything and watch God intervene,’’ he said.

The Bishop further said that it was only when men sought God’s guidance and directions to lead that they would be able to lead rightly and righteously adding that where kings could not do anything, where the military was paralysed, and the economy could not be sustained, it was only the Word of God through prayers that would make a difference in the country.

At the end of the program Rev. Oke prayed for peace and an ease of tension in all the regions of the country and in all spheres of governance.

One of those dignitaries who were present in the conference was Mr Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and also the Chairman of the Anchor Men’s Fellowship. Others were branch pastors of FWC and several ministers of God.
