 As Nigerians all over the globe celebrate the nation's 63rd Independence Day anniversary, the citizens have been charged to continually pray for the leaders of the country in the face of numerous challenges. The charge was given by the senior pastor of charismatic and evangelical church evangelists Akeri Makiyeh in Benin City, their dusted capital as the church celebrated its one-year anniversary. Calling on Nigerians to continually pray for its leaders, the clergy expressed optimism of a better Nigeria as they believe that all Nigerians lead a purposeful leadership. Well, I would say the grace behind it is God Almighty. The thing is that God has been so faithful, you know, when you try to set up or rather to start a project, you need to seek God first. When you seek Him first, there is full assurance. There is this backup and there is this security. God has been so kind, has been so faithful. Just a year you can see the great increase and we are equally praying that God should continue to sustain us and sustain our Father, the man of God, evangelist Makiyeh, that God shall empower him tomorrow. Today is a wonderful day. It's a glorious day. It's a day we are very happy because we are celebrating our one-year anniversary today. Today, this church is one-year. It's wonderful. Most people come here, they ask, is today really one-year anniversary? Are you really celebrating one-year anniversary? I said they were shocked. It is the Lord's doing because the people we have here is more than expectation. So it is the Lord's doing. We are very happy. We are very glorious. And we thank God for what the Lord has been doing in the church. We bless the name of the Lord. I want to thank God for a day like this. I want God to join the lives of the members of this church. A church that is just about a year old is as big as this. Very fine people are willing to serve God. I see zeal. I see faith. I see hope in members of this church. My only concern to them is that, yes, tribulation will come. Tire will come. Whenever something like that comes to their lives, they should try by all means to endure. Because God will never leave them. He said He has promised in His word that He will never leave you no forsake. Thank you.
