Nigeria is moving forward - Oyedepo

The Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church (LFC) World­wide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has de­scribed Nigeria as a country that is mov­ing forward in spite of its present economic challenges.

In a satelite tele­cast monitored in Jos, Plateau, Oyedepo said this when he ad­dressed both local and international assembly of the church work­ers in a broadcast on Thursday morning.

He told the workers that both the nation and the church were in a period of revival and that sac-rifices would have to be made.

The bishop said that the era of private uni­versities championed by the church came to set stand-ards and right moral codes in educational system to make it thrive better, devoid of cultism and activism.

He noted that aca­demic calendars of pri­vate universities had been maintained, even as lecturers and their students in public uni­versities go on strike.

“Private universities are here to restore the glory of the nation; it is clear that something is brew-ing in Nigeria.

``Nigeria’s healing is taking place now, and the health of the na­tion is being restored now.

``We are pushing darkness back”, he said.

He enjoined Chris­tians to be involved in fostering the present revival of the nation by God through their prayers and work not to relent as they were entitled to rewards from the Lord. (NAN)
