Founder of Ekunola Davies Ministry International and Coordinator of Genesis Team International, an inter-denominational evangelical ministry in Celestial Church of Christ, Prophet Okunola Davies, has said proliferation of churches is the reason for peace in Nigeria.
He spoke at the second annual Genesis Team Crusade: “The Fire of Pentecost”, at Domino Events Hall, Mafoluku, Lagos.
“Let us bless God for proliferation of churches, if not for that, the evil would have been more. So, the church is a control, the church is a light. We’re in the world, from inception, there’s been evil in the world. Evil is part of the world but the kingdom of God will prevail.”
Explaining further, Davies noted: “In churches, we have security, secretaries, and sanctuary keepers. We have people whose livelihood depends on the church So, the church is not secluded from the economy…”
He disagreed with the notion that nations with fewer churches were wealthier than Nigeria, saying “Prosperity is a relative statement. What we call prosperity today is money but it goes beyond that. The word prosperity in the scripture is “shalom” and it means peace.”
Insisting Nigeria enjoys peace, he said: “I want to establish to you that there is peace in this country. I have been to some countries where you can’t even go out at five in the evening. Let us pray to God for more peace because our God is the Prince of Peace.
