The General Overseer, Global Success Ministries, Dr. Chima Okereke has urged President Goodluck Jonathan not to rely solely on the use of force, but to seek divine grace of God as battle to crush the surging trend of terrorism in the Country.
Speaking at the launch of a vocational center at the Church headquarters in Lagos State, weekend, where he called on government to tackle poverty, which he said has been a major boost to crime and other nefarious activities in the country, the General Oversea cautioned that the over reliance on human wisdom and military strength would not bring a lasting solution to the terrible security situation in the country.
“ Rather, it will deepen the already dire situation if the President and heads of security agencies does not seek divine grace of God, which would not only bring a lasting solution to the crisis, but equally provide adequate wisdom in tackling the situation”.
He explained that the aim of establishing the vocational outfit was to fight the spate of poverty ravaging Nigerians, most especially the disabled, indigent students and widows within the society . “ This vocational center is an establishment that I hope would help in the reduction of poverty in our society. It is not solely for members of this church but for the general public, mostly the disabled, indigent students and widows within our society.”
The vocational center which according to the cleric, was tagged “Success Vocational Center”, has secured the best hands in practical training who will develop inter~sectoral skills for numerous people in need.
He also assured that trainees on completion of their vocational exercise would be empowered financially to start business of their choice, emphasizing that it pays more to empower one to be able to take care of his basic needs than to continue to spoon feed people.
