admin - Church celebrates 10 years, dedicates sanctuary
By Oyebola Owolabi
The Nigerian economy needs to be diversified from sole dependency on oil if things must get better, Prophet Demola Olusesi has said.
Olusesi, who is Founder/Leader of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church (Heirs of Salvation), Meiran Lagos State, stated this at the Church’s 10th Founders Day, Harvest Anniversary and building dedication.
The cleric also urged the government to ensure security so there can be more manufacturing companies and then food security.
He said: “We must develop other mineral resources and stop being dependent on oil if we want the economy to become better. “Another thing is that the government must ensure security of lives and property, especially so that we can have more manufacturing companies to give employment, and then farmers can access their farms to ensure food security. That is when we can talk of good development in Nigeria.”
The cleric also urged Nigerians to show and spread love, saying it will help the country in this difficult time.
He said: “My message to Nigeria is that we must embrace love, everyone should show and spread the love of Christ. We all should have the selflessness and will to serve because if you put your brothers first, and love your neighbors, Nigeria won’t be in this state that we are today.
“But because some people love themselves more than every other person, Nigeria is in a mess. That’s the problem we have with the leadership. People are very insincere, but if we can come together and be God-fearing, Nigeria will overcome its challenges.”
On the 10th anniversary and church building dedication, the cleric thanked God for the grace, recalling the challenges and testimonies thereof.
He said: “Our testimony is the backing of God. It was very rough in the beginning but God brought men and women who stood in the gap and here we are today.
“The Church has come a long way; it has been 10 years of consistent hard work to complete this building, just like the sanctuary of Solomon that took many years to build, but here we are at last and we thank God.”
Deputy Leader of the Church Apostle Titus Ogundele said the Church will continue to spread the gospel of Christ, which is love love.
He said: “We thank God because the turnout is overwhelming, it’s beyond our expectations. We thank God for everything.
“The role given to us by Jesus Christ is to go into the world and spread the gospel, and bring people to the kingdom. That is our primary duty and that is what we’re pursuing.
“Our message is hope that Nigeria will overcome its challenges. We read of so many accounts in the past and so Nigeria will definitely overcome whatever challenges.”
Chairman of the Harvest Committee Senior Lady Taiwo Durojaiye said: “We thank God for everything. It has not been easy but we bless God for keeping us moving, for sustaining us up to this moment. We bless God for the completion and perfection of everything.
“There are series of testimonies and everything about us is testimony. We believe God will continue to give us testimonies.”
Some members were recognised and given awards for their selfless service to the body of Christ.
