The District
Superintendent and Pastor-in-charge of Christ Apostolic Church, Bethel Toronto,
Pastor Amos Dada has said that in order for Nigeria to be a nation we can all
be proud of, the nation’s altar needs to be repaired.
He said this
yesterday at the Nigeria version of the annual International Gathering of
Eagles conference in Lagos.
International
Gathering of Eagles which is the initiative of Pastor Dada is aimed at raising
eagles generation of believers and putting Nigeria on the spiritual world map.
He said despite
the fact that almost everyone carries a Bible or Quran in Nigeria things still
getting worst, saying we need to repair the falling altar of Nigeria in order
to avoid destruction from God.
According to
him, we should not be celebrating Independence Day the way it is being done
here, what we need to be celebrating is milestones of achievement.
Pastor Dada
said that bad governance has not allowed Nigeria to fulfill its potentials and
the country is wallowing in poverty in the midst of abundance given wealth from
God.
The basic
need of Nigeria according to him is electricity, adding that youths are wasting
away because there is no stable electricity.
He said that
the present administration promised to build four refineries in their
manifestoes, but they have not built one, saying that their attention is now on
2019 election.
“There are
12 altars that need to be destroyed in Nigeria for the country to move forward.
We need to destroy altar of corruption. There should be zero tolerance for
corruption in Nigeria. This administration should not just tell us those who
have looted from the national treasury and leave them, they must send them to
jail. We must destroy altar of greediness, altar of non-caring for one another,
altar of wickedness, altar of poverty, altar of weak economy, altar of witches
and wizard and altar of false teachings in Nigeria,” he said.
Pastor Dada
further stated there are altars that must be raised in Nigeria, emphasizing that
the altars are; “altar of truth, altar of honesty, altar of integrity, altar of
righteousness, altar of unity, altar wisdom for governance, altar of knowledge,
altar of love for one another, altar of seeking the true God, altar of praying
the right prayers, altar of accountability, altar of hardwork, altar
entrepreneurship, altar sincerity, altar of reliability, altar of virtues, altar
of tolerance, altar of contentment, altar of resourcefulness, altar of
excellence, altar of godliness, altar of rule of law, altar of allegiance to
the nation and altar of care”
He implored
Nigerians not to engage in corruption, stating emphatically that God will
punish those who are corrupt in Nigeria.
The purpose
of International Gathering of Eagles (IGOE) according to him is to raise
generation of nation builders not nation looters.
He disclosed
that IGOE aim at raising generation that will walk in integrity and holiness.
