‘Nigeria is a Land of Milk and Honey’: Pastor Urges Nigerians to Stay Hopeful Amidst Economic Challenges

By Matthew Eloyi

The Senior Pastor of Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Daki-Biyu District, Kubwa, Abuja, Alex Ogundipe, has called on Nigerians to remain hopeful despite the ongoing economic crisis in the country.

Speaking at the church’s 19th Annual Harvest Thanksgiving Service, themed ‘Double Glory,’ Ogundipe urged Nigerians to avoid divisive remarks that could destabilise the nation.

“God installs all governments. No matter how a governor or government gets there, God must have a hand in it. God installed Abacha that many people were crying about, but some people made it under Abacha,” he stated.

“Nobody gets to a seat of power to preside over the people except with the authority of God,” the cleric added.

He emphasised the importance of positive thinking, saying: “If you keep saying bad things about Nigeria, you won’t witness the good. But if you align yourself with God’s purpose, that this land flows with milk and honey, God will surprise you.”

Ogundipe described Nigeria as a nation rich in potential. “Nigeria is a good land. It flows with milk and honey. If you don’t believe it, you won’t benefit, but if you believe and confess positively, it will be your portion,” he added.

Reflecting on the country’s 64th Independence Day, Ogundipe urged citizens to become agents of peace.

Evangelist Adeshina Ajimati, chairman of the 2024 Harvest Committee, explained that the event was held to celebrate God’s faithfulness to Nigeria.
