With less than two years to the 2023 general elections, Lead Pastor of God’s City International Church in Abuja, Matthew Morakinyo, has called on Nigerians to seek the face of God in choosing their leaders.
According to him, Nigerians should seek God’s intervention over security and economic challenges in the country.
Morakinyo stated these during a press briefing on the church’s forthcoming Power Touch Night scheduled to hold at the Velodrome, National Stadium Abuja.
The clergyman was responding to a question relating to clerics endorsing candidates for public office from the pulpit.
He said that Nigerians cannot afford to ignore the intervention of God in picking leaders with conscience that would govern the country.
Morakinyo said self-appointed leader is not advised, adding that only “God who knows the heart of a man can give us a leader that will heal the land”.
He said, “On our part, we have been praying and we continue to pray and God will answer us.
“God is the creator of man, and he is the one that knows the mind of man so it is better to turn to God who knows man and to ask him to give us a leader. Self-appointed leader is not advised. It is God that gives leadership. God will give us a leader of his choice.”
The cleric said the church is one of the leading Pentecostal churches in Abuja which came into existence on the 1 of May 2016.
Morakinyo said, “Ever since the church started, GCIC has been having an overwhelming number of programmes, from the Sunday service which has four different services and over 3000 people in attendance to its other powerful weekly programmes.
“Residents of Abuja and its environs will see the God of Possibilities at work, as the programme promise to be powerful, spiritually fulfilling and the attendees are to expect deliverance, healing, rescue, restoration, mobile fire, early satisfaction, answers to Prayers and amazing testimonies.”
