The Pastor of Amazing Grace Church, Orile Agege, Rev. Yinka
Imade, has enjoined Christians to desire the kingdom of God, while still
on earth.
Speaking at the yearly leadership conference organised by his church, Imade, said, “it is difficult for believers to understand the Kingdom mandate of Christ without a clear understanding of God’s Kingdom.
“The concept of a kingdom has to do with a domain that has a king. In other words, it has to do with a sphere of influence and a person who wields the influence. As Christians, we believe God’s Kingdom is not limited by space or time. Therefore, we hold the view that it is both in time and in space.”
According to Imade, God’s Kingdom exists today in our world irrespective of where that is, and most importantly, it exists through time and rules in the hearts and affairs of individuals or group of people throughout the world.
On security, the cleric said, “the rate of insecurity is alarming, we are still lacking behind in the areas of infrastructure, electricity power supply, job creation, fighting corruption and others, but as Christians, we just have to continue in our prayers for the peace of God to reign in the nation.”
He noted that the call of God as recorded in II Chronicles 7:14 is still very relevant today and urged Christians to pray for the nation, public officers and those at the corridors of power to be God-fearing, patriotic and honest in all their dealings, adding that this will make the country great.
