The Founder and General Overseer of Christ Mission Ministry, Akugbene Community, in Bomadi Local Government Area, Pastor Austin Temeowei-Ebi, has said that Nigeria was suffering today because those at the helm of affairs lacked the fear of God.

Pastor Temeowei-Ebi made the assertion while reflecting on the current hardship the country was faced with.

In his words, “Where we are today in this country is due to the lack of the fear of God. Leaders lack the fear of God. When we talk about fear of God, we are talking about knowing what God wants, and doing it the way God wants it to be done”.

“Leaders should know who made them leaders, the wisdom they need to lead can only come from God, therefore, God must be the central focus of leadership. So leaders should look up to God and practice God’s leadership style so there will be justice, truth, sincerity”. He said

The Clergy noted that the economic and political situation Nigerians have found themselves in was caused by leaders from top to bottom because Leaders and Nigerians failed to realize that it is God alone that allows anyone to be in a leadership position.

He mentioned that the Church has a vital role to play because the wellbeing of the country is the wellbeing of the Church, adding that, Church leaders should always tell the political class and others in leadership positions the truth.

Pastor Temeowei-ebi encouraged all leaders in different positions and Nigerians at large, to be steadfast and imbibe the fear of God to actualize God’s purpose for the betterment of all Nigerians.
