Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says God has a purpose for Nigeria based on the quality of those in positions of authority in the country.
He stated this at the Kingdom Summit 2017 of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Kings Court Parish, Victoria Island, Lagos, on Sunday.
Osinbajo, however, said the strategic position God has placed the leaders would be meaningless if they failed to live by his gospel.
"I am so pleased and happy and I believe that the Almighty God has a plan for our nation by putting us in strategic positions in politics, business and everywhere,” the vice president said.
"But, the strategic positions He has placed us, we will be of no effect there unless we are prepared to live by His gospel.
"There is no wisdom of man that can change men or change nations; it is the power and wisdom of God that can.
The vice president, who titled his remark "Neither Jew, nor Gentile" noted that the gospel of the Lord was transformational, meant to turn the market place around by uniting God’s people.
According to him, the only way to transform the nation is to obey the gospel and to do so that citizens must free themselves from the canal and simply return to the gospel in their practices.
Osinbajo noted that sometimes people thought that God did not achieve His purpose in man because God’s gospel contradicted the purpose of man.
