In spite of the challenges confronting
Nigeria at the moment, the nation will get to the Promised Land; President
Goodluck Jonathan has assured Nigerians. Jonathan, who participated in the
first Sunday of the year service at St. Stephens Anglican Church, Otuoke,
Bayelsa State, said huge potential abound in all parts of the country. In his
short remarks, the President said his administration would continue to tap into
those potential to move the nation forward. He added that the country’s future
was bright, despite the challenges confronting the nation. He used the opportunity
to thank the church and Christians for praying for the nation, stressing that
the period was a challenging one, not only for the country, but the whole
world. He stated, “I thank you for your prayers, especially at this period.
This is a period the world is passing through challenges. “We have a lot of
potential and I see a bright future for the country. Despite the challenges and
bumps, Nigeria will move on and get to the Promised Land.” In his sermon, the
officiating pastor, who is the Bishop of Ogbia Diocese, Rev. James Oruwori, had
urged the congregation to avoid committing sin and strike a strong covenant
relationship with God to be able to fight their battles. He used the example of
David and Goliath in the Bible, saying the former’s strong covenant with God
gave him victory. He urged Nigerians to remain calm ahead of the forthcoming
general elections, adding that God had already taken a decision on the outcome.
