Posted To The Web: Thursday, December 31, 2009 - The Pm News.com

Founder of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, Prelate, Methodist Church Nigeria, Dr. Ola Makinde and other men of God have predicted hope and better days for Nigeria in 2010, saying that things will get better.

Bakare spoke with P.M.NEWS this morning, saying that Nigeria should expect a better year in 2010, stressing that God would intervene in the affairs of this nation.

According to him, “by the time we meet on Sunday, Nigeria will neither be headless nor voiceless. There is hope for our nation.”

Makinde, on his part said 2010 would be a year of peace, prosperity and positive progress, saying that there was no doubt that 2009 was turbulent for the nation, but the the nation would overcome such hurdles in the coming year.

“In all of these uncertainties, our faithful and ever present God was our companion and he is prepared to abide with us in this New Year and take us to new and unprecedented heights.

“For many of us, on a personal level, the year 2010 will mark the beginning of new things in which we will break and cover new grounds and for our dear country. Nigeria, it will be the year that we begin to move in the right direction in our quest for a better Nation,” he stated.

According to him, “the fulfillment of God’s promise for us in the year 2010 and its manifestation is anchored on our ability to live righteously and do God’s will. Righteousness exalts a nation while sin (and corrupt practices) bring reproach, backwardness, damnation, stagnancy upon it.

“In its simplest form, righteousness connotes virtue, justice, morality, decency, uprightness, rectitude and honesty and the lack of these in the lives of many and that of our Nation has hindered us from realizing our full potentials which accounts for our present situation and predicament.

“It is salient to emphasize that our resolve to say ‘NO’ to temptations that confront us on a daily basis and do what is right individually and collectively (as a people) will be intrinsic and fundamental to us maximizing and making the best of the opportunities in 2010.”

Makinde appealed to all armed robbers and kidnappers to change or face the wrath of God as the year 2010 would not be their year, adding that the Lord is ready to descend on evil doers in the country in the coming year.

The prelate warned politicians to stay away from killing their opponents as the elections draw nearer, saying that those who killed by the sword would also die by the sword, while he also warned the youths not to emulate the bad example of Mutallab, who soiled the nation’s image by trying to bomb a plane.

“The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, must prove to all and sundry that credible and hitch free elections can be conducted in this country. With the 2011 general elections around the corner, it is important that the Justice Mohammed Uwais report on electoral reforms is taken seriously and implemented so as to lay a solid foundation for future elections in this country.

“It also calls for a more serious approach to the ongoing constitution amendment embarked upon by the National Assembly, knowing full well that the successful amendments to the grey areas in the 1999 Constitution will go a long way in not only giving us a near perfect election like we had in 1993 but will further strengthen our democracy and bring about a desired social order,” he stated. He called on Nigerians to continue to pray for the quick recovery of the President, Umar Musa Yar’dua who is currently recuperating in Saudi Arabia as well as include his family in their daily thoughts and prayers, adding that “in spite of all, I urge us not to cease in praying for the wellbeing of our dear beloved country.”

PFN President, Oritsejafor said: “As we enter the New Year, we should believe in ourselves that we can together make Nigeria a nation and a strong land. As we do that and put God in His place, I tell you this nation will go places.”

He warned that as the election comes, politicians should not see it as a do or die affair, adding that, Nigerians should reduce the emphasis on money in everything, saying that “money is not everything and if we can do that, then we are a step closer to making sure that we will get the right people we want in the right positions.

“And what I mean is that most of these politicians are going to try to buy people with money, which they normally do. And in some cases people will not even vote. Why are we selling our country and future? Nigerians should not accept imposition.

“We should be prepared to go to the streets and protest against wrong doings, especially in the conduct of the elections. If we can do these two things in Nigeria, 2011 will witness a better election we have never had.

“We are about going into another decade and if we don’t prepare, someone else will prepare for us and if you don’t take your destiny in your own hands, someone else will take it and arrange it for you.”

The PFN president called on Nigerians to allow God to take His place as God in this nation, stressing that “I believe we can set an agenda for our nation and we should collectively desire a nation called Nigeria. Because what we have today when people are saying they are fighting for their tribes is not true.

“They are merely pursuing their individual interests. They are only using the tribe as a cover to make a way for themselves. And we must prepare to pay the price for Nigeria because it will cost something. The next 10 years, for me, is very crucial in this nation.”

Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Lagos State Chapter, Dr. Adebayo Abiola said there is plenty of hope for Nigeria in the New Year, adding that “when all seems to be lost, God will come to our support and raise us up from the dungeon if every Nigerian will rise up and praise Him.”

Rev. Festus Ola of the Assemblies of God Church simply said there is hope for the nation in the New Year.

Pastor Reuben Morakinyo of The Apostolic Church (TAC), Shasha District added that “there is hope for Nigeria because we do not exist on our own. The hope will be made better if we recognize the supremacy of God in our national life. He will intervene in our situation.”
