The General Overseer (GO) of All Nations Evangelism Ministries, Archbishop Dr Yimam Orkwar has charged Christians to remain faithful as God will surely intervene in their situations.
He also called on Nigerians to be steadfast and hopeful even as they look on God concerning happenings in the country.
The charge was contained in the Sunday sermon of 24th July, 2022 at Faith Cathedral Makurdi in which the cleric admonished Christian faithful to look beyond their challenges and focus on Jesus as God will turn around their captivity soon.
Preaching on the theme, "It Is Okay", the cleric said that some ugly developments are happening in the lives of believers as though there is no hope, but God has declared that "it is okay".
Even as a country Nigeria, he said, some trends especially security deterioration and economic downturn have aggravated as if there is no hope for the nation, but that God is saying, "it is okay". That He will arise and intervene on our behalf.
The GO stated that just as the disciples of Jesus Christ passed through difficult times but God delivered them in due time, God will rise up and intervene in the Nigeria leadership failure and at individual levels also.
Reading from the scriptures according to Matthew 12vsers 25; Philippians 4verses 11and 2Timothy 2 verses 12, he declared that through Christ who strengthens, Christians will persevere until God comes on the scene.
He opined that instead of been distressed and disillusioned that they were being persecuted, the apostles of old rejoiced for been maltreated for God, and God saved them all; maintaining that the pains, hunger, tribulation, and persecution Christians are going through will be over.
The Archbishop concluded that if any man loses everything for Christ sake, same shall get it back in a hundred fold and also gain everlasting life because there is always a lifting up when there is a casting down.
The magnificent choir of Faith Cathedral had earlier lifted the souls of worshipers in their song ministration
" Owei Owei
I will create room for two
For you and I Jesus
You are all that matters
What would have become of my life if not because of Jesus ".
The service started at 8:00am.
