According to him, other countries are facing economic depression too, but in Nigeria we are richly blessed, only to manage it to the advantage of masses, is what we are praying for.

He observed that Christians suppose to be spiritually filled and since God is spirit, spiritual ones need to know the mind of God.

“And those that serve God must serve Him in truth and in spirit”. He quoted.
