Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has called on churches to start preaching the values of hard work.
Osinbajo stated this while delivering a lecture at the 68th Anniversary and 58th Annual Convention of The Gospel Faith Mission International, GOFAMINT, at the weekend.
He also lamented that churches in the country had shifted its focus from preaching hard work to prosperity.
“For too long, our churches have been caught up in the pursuit of personal prosperity and material wealth, neglecting the true calling of the gospel to promote peace, unity and the holistic development of our society.
“If we truly want to see Nigeria rise again and fulfil its immense potential, the church must return to its root, preaching the values of hard work, compassion and service to the community. It is only through this shift in focus that we can inspire our people to become agents of positive change, rather than mere consumers of the prosperity gospel”, he said.
