RCCG tasks youths on national development

Pastor EA Adeboye, General Overseer of RCCG

The National Youth Pastor of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Belemina Obunge, on Friday, urged Nigerian youths to strive and contribute their quota toward nation building.

Obunge made the plea while addressing newsmen on the upcoming National Youth Convention.

He urged the youths to look inwards and use their various skills to move the nation out of its current challenges.

The cleric said that in spite of the current economic challenges confronting the country, youths could still make positive impact that would reflect on the country’s fortunes.

According to him, youths are called to live a life of impact and without them there would not be a future for the country.

“Nigerian youths should search within and see what they can do in a time like this; they should ask themselves what gift they have that they can make manifest.

“Nigerian youths should manifest the skills they have, start small and be the solution in their little corner,’’ he said.

He said that every youth has a good potential and what it takes to make the country better.

“They should not compare themselves with others but look inwards and manifest the gift in them.

“They should look for mentors that will encourage them to be better,’’ Obunge said.

Obunge said the convention was important and significant to the nation and the church, adding that the church was committed to youths making exploits and breaking barriers.

“The church has deemed it necessary to provide platforms like the Redeemed Initiative for Skills & Empowerment (RISE) and Nigeria Shift for the youth.

“The platform was created for youths who are the future leaders to showcase the gifts God had endowed them with,’’ he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the convention with the theme, “Vessels Unto Honour”, would hold between Oct. 3 and Oct. 7 at the RCCG Redemption Camp on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel.

This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...
