The General Overseer of Christ the King Rescue Global Ministry, popularly known as Rescue Camp, Oke-Aro in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State, Prophet Gabriel Olusola Onaolapo, has said that his church would be praying for Nigeria for peace and prosperity.
He expressed the strong belief that God would soon turn things around for the betterment of all Nigerians irrespective of tribal, religious or political affiliations. He also urged Nigerians home and abroad not to give up on Nigerians, encouraging them that all hope was not yet lost.
He made this known during a briefing to unveil the church’s preparedness to hold its 15th annual programme, tagged, “Seven Variety Nights. He assured everyone that will be attending the event of special blessings from God that will change their story for good. He said that each night has a unique theme with a unique focus.
Promising the participants to experience raw power of God, he stressed that divine benefits will be accruing to members and non-members of the church while the programme last.
According to him, the seven days programme, which begins on September 5, from 10pm to 4am daily, will end on Saturday September 11 by 4am.
He disclosed that 12 ministers of God comprising men and women with varied spiritual gifts, would be joining the Chief Host, Prophet Onaolapo in ministering, praying, blessing and delivering the congregation from all manners of bondages and other spirit related problems.
He believes God that abundant signs and wonders, which he said usually occur on these nights of extraordinary praise and prayers will be greater in this year’s edition.
Speaking on the past experiences at the conference, the prophet said: “We don’t like to blow our trumpet, but by the grace of God, God has done so much for us. There are many people who were jobless that have been given jobs through divine encounters. Closed wombs have been opened, life partners met, visas granted and admission to higher institutions made possible in the last 14 episodes.
“There were many participants who were hitherto debtors and beggars, but have today become successful in their endeavours. I believe that this year will come in greater dimension than the previous years. The testimonies have been profound to the glory of God, and more people will testify in this episode.
On the not too palatable economic and political situation in Nigeria, he added, “during this year’s programme, there will be session where our political leaders and public office holders would be prayed for so that God will give them wisdom to direct the affairs of this nation in a way that will lead to a positive turn-around. We are believing God for an urgent positive change that will be beneficial to all citizens.
“We have session of praise, prayer, word of God, drama, quiz competition all rolled together for the nourishment of the body of Christ. In this programme, anointed men and women of God will be ministering. There are line-up gospel musicians who will render soul-lifting songs to charge the congregation.”
The cleric disclosed that the church has had significant impact on the youths, especially in the area of guiding them to tread the path of morality, respect for the rule of law and to eschew all forms of violence and criminality.
He said that despite the unhealthy trend of internet fraud across the globe, his ministry has been able to inculcate in the youths the habit to pursue only businesses that are legitimate.
The man of God stated that all COVID-19 safety measures were already in place for all participants, including those that will be fully staying for the seven days.
Dwelling on the state of insecurity in Nigeria and the role of the church, Onaolapo submitted that it would be suicidal to solely depend on prayer in tackling the country lingering security challenges.
In his submission, all hands must be on deck in ensuring that Nigerians would be able to once again sleep with their two eyes closed.
While advising government to take more pragmatic steps to arrest the ugly situation, he noted that conscientious and responsible parenting was also imperative in building a crime-free society.
His words: ” Relying on prayer alone will bring more deaths. As a nation, there are many things to be done to address this. We must take care of our senior citizens very well. This will help to reduce the level of corruption and stealing, especially by those in public office.
“The governments at all levels should tackle the high level of unemployment in the land. I was happy when this administration came on board and promised diversification and focus on agriculture. But all of a sudden, the herdsmen rose and began to kill farmers preventing them from going to their farmlands. Let’s not forget that the agriculture sector has the potential of creating massive jobs for our teeming youths who are roaming about the streets.
“The carrying capacity of Nigeria’s tertiary institutions is far lower than the number of students that are sitting for JAMB every year. This is one of the reasons that internet fraud is on the increase because an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. There are so many breeding grounds for criminality to thrive in Nigeria.
“Our political class must govern with conscience and should be promise keepers. These public office holders promise heaven and earth before they are elected, but immediately the election is won, all the promises are forgotten. It is too sad.”
