The Clergy in charge of All Saints Methodist Church Mararaba, Rev. Caleb Ekele on Sunday said the economic recession in the country would not stop God from working for his people.
Ekele gave the assurance during his sermon at the 2016 Karu Circuit harvest celebration tagged: ”Harvest of Thanksgiving”.
The clergy took his scripture from John Chapter 11 and quoted verse 11, which says, ”Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.”
He said that Lazarus in the Bible was sick and his brethren took the matter to his master Jesus, who delayed from coming to rescue the situation and he died.
He said that before the master could come, things had gone very bad as Lazarus had died for four days.
”Before the master could come, the devil had reached the peak of his plan, he did his worst and the blame was on the master who failed to respond immediately,” he said.
The clergy said that for Jesus to have delayed to come did not mean he did not know what to do in such a situation.
Ekele, who compared the story of Lazarus with the present situation in the country, said “no matter the situation we are passing through in life, God is able to see us through.’’
The clergy assured Nigerians that if God could intervene in the situation after he had died for four days, He would revive the nation in spite of the lingering economic situation.
The harvest service featured choir rendition from All Saints Choir, Mararaba and payers were also offered for the revival of the nation. (NAN)
