He said, ” The hour has come for us to pray more, dedicate our service to our father land. When our land is safe, our churches are safe and we would have freedom to pray and worship God.”
He called on Nigerians to shun rumours that breeds confusion because of the coming elections.
Rev. Pam said, ” In the past we have the believe that politics of voting is a sin, but we have the Bible injunction in the Book of Romans 13, asking us to obey authorities and governance and so we should make sure we are part of the elections , Christians play politics stand for positions and vote for good leader’s who God fearing and accountable to the people irrespective of their faith.”
