The General Overseer of Christian Victory Prayer Ministry Worldwide, Pastor Dan Obinegbo, has urged Christians and politicians to shun greed for a better society.
Obinegbo made the call at a news conference Sunday in Enugu to mark the 25 years anniversary of the church coming up from February 13 to February 16 in Enugu.
He noted that greed had led many people, including clerics to do the wrong things and God’s anger rekindled against them and their ministry; “since God will never share his glory with any man’’.
The cleric said God is still faithful; it is us men that abuse ourselves due to greed and social influence.
“Greed most times put our status as spiritual defenders of the people in jeopardy.
“When we take away greed from the service of God and pastors not yielding to unnecessary influence and bending to influential church members; desires; the world will indeed be a better place since God remains faithful’’.
Obinegbo noted that one of the greatest challenges of the country “is the prolonged tribal greed by politicians not truly willing to share power and positions in a multi-ethnic country’’.
He said that as a prophet, he had continued to warn Nigerians that the country was standing on an amalgamated tripod of three regions and there must be equitable and fair sharing of positions.
”If the sharing is rotational, allow it to stand for equity,” he said.
He also urged politicians to shun unnecessary acquisition of wealth, especially stealing from public treasury.
“Politicians should be honest to the people and leave legacy projects behind that they would be remembered for after office,” he said. (NAN)
