THE Founder and General Overseer of Christ Mission Ministry, Akugbene community in
Bomadi Local Government Area, Pastor Austin Temeowei-Ebi has said that Nigerians are suffering because those at the helm of affairs lack the fear of God.
Pastor Temeowei-Ebi made the assertion while reflecting on the current hardship the country is facing.
In his words: “where we are today in this country is due to the lack of the fear of God. Leaders lack the fear of God. When we talk about fear of God, we are talking about knowing what God wants and doing it the way God wants it done”.
“Leaders should know who made them leaders, the wisdom they need to lead can only come from God, therefore, God must be the central focus of leadership.
So leaders should look up to God and practice God’s leadership examples so there will be justice, truth, sincerity”.
The cleric noted that the economic and political situation Nigerians found themselves was caused by leaders from top to bottom, adding that leaders and the led failed to realize that it is God alone that allows people into leadership position.
He mentioned that the church has a vital role to play because the well-being of the country is the well-being of the church, adding that church leaders should always tell the political class the truth.
Temeowei-ebi encouraged all leaders in different positions and Nigerians at large, to be steadfast and imbibe the fear of God to actualize God’s purpose for the betterment of all Nigerians
