The Primate, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Rev. Nicholas
Okoh, on Thursday, said God’s plan to restore and rebuild Nigeria would
manifest soon.
NAN reports that Okoh stated this in Abuja while briefing newsmen on
the 2018 Divine Commonwealth Conference (DIVCCON) scheduled to hold at
the Ecumenical Centre, Abuja, from Monday to Friday.
He announced the theme of the conference as “I Will Restore”, saying restoration meant returning to original position.
According to him, it also means bringing back what existed before, a
return of something to a former or unimpaired position and restitution
of something taken away or lost.
“One common denominator in all the meanings of restoration is the return of something to its original form,” he explained.
The primate said that God had promised to guide, satisfy, prosper,
refresh, rebuild, raise up, repair and restore Nigeria and its citizens
for greater glory.
He said that the conference would bring down the mercy of God to
tackle the several challenges that had hindered the nation’s economic
prosperity, sustainable security and overall national development.
According to him, God has plans for Nigeria, but sin distorted God’s plan for the nation.
“God is not just a builder, but an architect. He has good plans for
Nigeria, but somewhere along the line, something tampered with the
plans.
“Sin came in, the plan was distorted. God being God, in his wisdom has decided to restore and rebuild the nation,” he said.
Okoh said that the original plan of God for Nigeria was that the
people would multiply, be fruitful, have dominion, prosper and be in
control.
“Then signs and wonders will follow,’’ he said.
