Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said Nigeria would rise again if the church started to preach the values of hard work.<\/p>\n

Osinbajo lamented that the Nigerian church had shifted its focus from preaching hard work to prosperity.<\/p>\n

He spoke while delivering a lecture at the 68th Anniversary and 58th Annual Convention of The Gospel Faith Mission International, GOFAMINT, at the weekend.<\/p>\n

According to Osinbajo: \u201cFor too long, our churches have been caught up in the pursuit of personal prosperity and material wealth, neglecting the true calling of the gospel to promote peace, unity, and the holistic development of our society.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we truly want to see Nigeria rise again and fulfil its immense potential, the church must return to its roots, preaching the values of hard work, compassion, and service to the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is only through this shift in focus that we can inspire our people to become agents of positive change, rather than mere consumers of the prosperity gospel.\u201d<\/p>\n
