Pastor Muoka who made the call on
Sunday, at the headquarters of the church at Ijesha, Lagos State, at the
two-day power-packed international crusade of the church which has the theme,
‘God That Does What No Man Can Do,’ said that if Kanu is released peace will
return to the region.
Muoka stated “I
want to let you know, for peace to reign, for us to have peace in that part of
the nation, because there is a lot of killings, a lot of calamities as a result
of this situation, I want to appeal, and plead passionately that God almighty
will touch the Federal Government to release him. We are pleading that God almighty
will touch them to release him, so that we will have peace in the land, for
progress and unity. So I want to personally plead that by the grace of God that
that should be done so that we can have peace in the east.”
On Christian
persecution in Africa, he said “All I want to let you know is that persecution
helps even to further the gospel, persecution is a necessity for the church and
God has made it that all that shall live a godly life in Christ Jesus shall
suffer persecution. So persecution is inevitable unless you are not ready to
live a godly life, if you are ready to live a godly life God allows it and in
time of persecution the gospel spreads more than when there is no persecution.”
On the issue
of collapsed bridge at Ijesha bus-stop, a very strategic bridge leading to the Lords
Chosen Headquarters, he said “That particular footbridge is a strategic one because
more people cross through it to go to FESTAC, Ijesha, and here also we have our
church and many other churches. Right now so many lives are being lost. We are
pleading with the Federal Government to please come to our aid and put the
bridge in order so that the lives of Nigerians using that problematic, broken
bridge can be saved.”
He added
that on the part of the church they would continue to pray for the Government. “We
will continue to pray for the government, we will continue to pray for our
nation and we would pray for our rulers. The duty of our rulers is to take care
of us, so the bridge should be taken care of.”
Further he
advised Nigerians, he said, “Nigerians should draw close to God, Nigerians
should fear God; Nigerians should know that it is only God that can bring peace
and unity and progress, let the whole Nigeria fear God and live their lives
according to the will of God. Let them be born again and be saved, and be ready
for the rapture because Jesus is coming very soon, let them give their lives to
Jesus Christ and they shall be saved, and we shall make heaven at last, that is
my wish and that is my prayer and my preaching that all souls should be saved.”
Former Head
of State of Nigeria, General Yakubu Gowon who was represented by Pastor Samuel
Sanusi, Secretary General, Bible Society of Nigeria said, “I received with joy
the gracious invitation to participate as a special guest in the two-day power
packed international programme, titled ‘God that does what man cannot do’.
First and foremost I will like to express my profound gratitude to Pastor and Pastor
Mrs Lazarus Muoka, the Founder/General Overseer of this large, vibrant spirit-filled
assembly.
“The Lord’s
Chosen Charismatic Revival church is a vibrant ministry, inspired by the Holy Spirit

masters and their servants, to the rulers and all that are being ruled all over
the world, with a mandate to win millions of souls for Christ, has been a
beacon of hope, spiritual enlightenment and exemplary service for our nation. It
is my sincere belief that your dedication, commitment and unwavering faith have
