Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood has called on the clergy to work towards maintaining the country’s peace ahead of the November polls.
“Dedicate yourselves as individuals to the service of this nation. Seriously commit to the intercessory ministry and pray for this city, this country, and its leaders as God enjoins us in 1Timothy 2: 1-4,” the Chief Justice said at the 25th anniversary of the Revival Restoration Centre of the Assemblies of God Church Sunday.
She added: “Peace and security [are] critical to… enjoyment of the full benefits of what God has richly endowed on us. And equally important, it is only peace and security that will enable us to serve him and share with others the gospel of peace, which he has so graciously entrusted to us who believe.”
