‘Govt Should Declare A National Prayer Day, For Restoration Of The Nation’

Prophet Chukwuemeka Samuel Odigbo, founder of The Land Of Grace Healing Ministries, Ikotun, Lagos, has just concluded his yearly programme tagged, Never Again, through which he impacted on the people and prayed for the country. During the event, he spoke to OMIKO AWA on state of the nation.
What do you have for Nigeria?
THIS is a year of greatness for the country; God said He will speak peace to our storm. So, never mind what is presently happening in the country, because they will surely lead to a lasting peace. And for those that believe, Nigeria is going to experience greatness, excellence and great blessing.
But the country is facing serious security challenges
Proverb 21:3 says, “safety is of the Lord and anyone that seeks his face will be safe.” Psalm 147:1 adds, “unless God watches the house the watchman watches in vain.” With these, it is certain that everything depends on God.
Should we then run to God to protect us against Boko Haram and the kidnappers?
Yes, God is the answer. No matter what, all these things will come to an end, if only Nigerians can put God first in whatever they do. We should dedicate a week or so, to seek the face of God; government should declare a National Prayer Day, where the people will fast and prayer for restoration of the nation’s glory. After this, we need to wait to see God act. Only prayers can stop the insurgency of Boko Haram, because God said, ‘let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end.’ God will not only fish out the bad egg causing these troubles, but also will expose and destroy their financiers.
And the kidnappers
God gives enough grace for sinners to repent, but before the year ends, He will bring most of them to book. All they need is our prayers. God told me in a vision never to worry, that He will bless those that believe in Him. God told me that He will also reveal those behind the various killing going on in the name of bomb blast.
Vision? 
Yes, some strength will happen at the middle of this year.
What are some of the strange things?
First the weather, there is going to be flooding during the Ember months and it is going to be very devastating. Second, prominent politician will die. And before the lasting peace to come, Nigeria should pray to avert the North and South regions from clashing. And in the field of medicine, there is going to be a breakthrough in the discovery of medicine that would cure sicknesses such as AIDS, while a notable world leader will die in office.
What’s your view on the return of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor as CAN President?
Daddy Ayo Oritsejafor, is one man of God worthy of emulation; he has been carrying on with the works of faith and his re-election as CAN president couldn’t have being by his power, but the mercy of God, which goes to say that much is still being expected of him by God.
Is it Biblical for men and women to seat separately in church?
In our church, apart from the pastorate, elders and the choir, every other member is free to sit where he or she likes. But let’s ask ourselves this very simple question; would you because sitting arrangement separate a couple that left their home together to the church to serve God? Or would you keep a brother or sister standing all through the service because the male or female area of the church is filled up?
Listen; though other ministries or churches may have their reason or reasons based on their experiences or doctrine, we don’t do that.
