Vice-president Yemi Osinbajo said Nigeria was on course for new beginnings, regardless of all doubts.
According to Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity Office of the Vice President, Laolu Akande, the Vice- president stated this while featuring at the ongoing 25th Annual Convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God – The Americas, themed: New Beginning.
Prof Osinbajo, who is also a pastor in RCCG, cited the biblical story of Nathaniel who doubted whether any good thing could come out of Nazareth, and declared with optimism that despite people doubting if anything good would come out of Nigeria, the country will experience a new beginning.
According to him “today, many men are saying the same about our nation Nigeria, even men of God, but this is the textbook case of how God works, He is set to give Nigeria a new beginning.”
The Vice-president stated that “in the midst of current travails, the God of new beginnings is about to change our story. He is about to do something new. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”
He said that the ideal person ready for a new beginning was one who required the strength of God to show forth in their weakness.
He observed that “God did not create us to be independent of Him, He did not endow us with the strength to succeed without Him.” …The God of new beginnings did not create us to be self-sufficient. We need Him.”
The Vice-president spoke at one of the sessions of The Americas Convention of the RCCG featuring the General Overseer of the Church, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, the Continental Overseer of the Church in the American Continent, Pastor James Fadel, and other guest speakers drawn from around the world.
The Convention of the RCCG in the US is reported to be the largest gathering of Nigerians anywhere in the US, Canada, and Southern and Central American countries.
