Osinbajo Urges Nigerian Churches To Preach Hard Work Over Prosperity

The former vice president Yemi Osinbajo, has said that if the church began to promote hard work ideals, Nigeria would rise once more.

Osinbajo bemoaned the fact that the Nigerian church had moved from emphasizing hard work to promoting prosperity.

He made these remarks at a talk at The Gospel Faith Mission International’s 68th Anniversary and 58th Annual Convention, or GOFAMINT, over the weekend.

According to Osinbajo: “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 roots, 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.”
