He said that persecution and trials were features of the Christain faith which, when surmounted, would make a better disciple of Jesus Christ.
The gospel preacher prayed that in 2022, God would pull down obstacles in the lives of His children.
He advised Nigerians to call on God to bring solutions to the country’s problems.
“Our despositions and countenance should lure people to God. If that will be the cross we have to bear for a good society, so be it.
“As those chosen by the master, the world is looking at us to lead the way, but such cannot be accomplished unless we key into the salvation message,” he said.
He advised Nigerians to stop speaking against the country.
“Rather pray for the country and its leaders for things to get better; there is power in words; therefore, used them well.
NAN reports that about two million people attended the retreat.
