The Lead Pastor, The Transforming Church (TCC), Rev. Sam Oye, says time has come for Nigerians to call on God to help address the numerous challenges facing the country.

Oye was speaking at a news conference in Abuja on Wednesday, to herald the Annual Encounter Worship Conference, tagged: “Encounter ’24”, billed to hold on Nov. 1.

While noting that the country was at a critical stage, he stressed the need for citizens to come together and seek the face of God to address the challenges.

The cleric said that the coming together of Nigerians during the encounter worship was a way of unifying the country, as people from different ethnic groups would be present to seek God’s face for Nigeria.

He explained that government had tried to provide solutions to the problems but that its efforts were limited.

Oye stayed that citizens could also support the government by coming together to pray to God to help the leaders in transforming the country.

According to him, physical problems can be solved by spiritually, hence the need to seek spiritual means to address Nigeria’s problems.

”The purpose of the encounter is to create an environment where people across the world, most importantly, Nigeria, can come together in the midst of the crises, divisiveness, ethnicity and partisan politics to pray.

”Apart from bringing us together to unite us, it is a night where people come to unburden the pressure and challenges we’re faced with in Nigeria now.

”It is very obvious that Nigerians can’t look up to government. And in a situation where people can look up to government, we must seek God’s face.

”Nigerians can’t also look up to each other, because everybody needs help and at such a time, we are saying let’s all turn our attention to the only person that can help us, ” he said.

The cleric also said that the conference, an all-night event, would feature gospel leaders from the different ethnic divides.

Recounting the faith-based organisation’s role in bringing succour to Nigerians in times like this, he said that it had provided scholarships for students from primary to tertiary levels.

Oye added that the church had also been involved in the medical support for Nigerians, irrespective of their tribes and religion.

”Our doors have been open to Nigerians in giving out support. As I speak with you now, we are about to put in place our medical centre, which will be operational 24 hours every day.

”We are in an advanced stage of deploying doctors, pharmacists and all kinds of medical practitioners who are ready to run that centre.

”We are involved in the lives of people who need assistance, whether it has to do with healthcare, education, rents, food on a monthly basis. This has been going on now for years,” he said.

The cleric stated that the church had also supported a community school with the construction of library and toilets for children to have a sense of what it feels like to live in a modern world. (NAN)
