Nigerians have been assured that God remains deeply interested in the affairs of the nation and will rescue the country from its economic and political turmoil if citizens return to Him in genuine repentance. This assurance was given by Dr. Isaac Adigun, the District Superintendent of the Apostolic Faith Church, West and Central Africa (WECA), on Saturday, August 15, 2026, during an interaction with journalists following the 2026 camp meeting musical concert by the choir and orchestra.
Dr. Adigun, speaking with a tone of divine certainty, declared that God's arms are wide open to receive whoever repents from their sins and wickedness. According to the cleric, the path to national healing and prosperity is not through political manoeuvring or economic policies alone, but through a spiritual turnaround that begins with individual and collective repentance. "Whenever a people or country return to God in repentance, they experience a new beginning, far better than the old life, and flourish," he stated.
The cleric's message comes at a time when Nigeria is grappling with a multitude of challenges, including economic hardship, insecurity, political instability, and widespread despair. His words, however, offered a glimmer of hope to a populace weary of bad news. He emphasised that the solution to Nigeria's woes lies not in the hands of politicians or technocrats, but in the hands of a sovereign God who is waiting for His people to call upon Him. "One of the songs by the choir backed up by chamber orchestra states, 'Awake from your sins and your foes shall oppress you no more,'" he noted, underscoring the spiritual awakening required for national deliverance.
The musical concert, which served as the backdrop for the cleric's message, was a grand affair that showcased the rich musical heritage of the church. The event featured renditions from classical composers such as Felix Mendelssohn, Frederic Handel, and Wolfgang Mozart, alongside soul-stirring choruses like "Oko Iyawo Fere De" and "We are journeying to a far country." The captivated audience participated actively, echoing the charming choruses that spoke of hope, journey, and divine reward. The concert also marked a significant transition in the leadership of the church's orchestra, as Revd Dotun Ewumi, who had led the ensemble since 2005, passed the baton to Mr. Bode Odulaja, who asked for prayers to succeed in the assignment.
Dr. Adigun also shared testimonies of transformation within the church, revealing that many attendees had experienced deliverance from sins and healing from diverse ailments during the convention. He described the musical concert as a demonstration of the rewards awaiting faithful children of God at the end of time, as depicted in the Negro spiritual "Going to Shout," which featured symbolic representations of the robe, harp, and crown.
As the nation continues to navigate its complex challenges, Dr. Adigun's message serves as a powerful reminder that for many Nigerians, the ultimate hope lies in divine intervention. His call for repentance and his assurance of God's interest in Nigerian affairs resonate with a population that has grown increasingly disillusioned with the failures of human leadership. Whether the nation will heed this call remains to be seen, but for the faithful, the message is clear: God has not abandoned Nigeria, and a brighter future is possible if the people turn back to Him.
