Pastor Tunde Bakare, said the current economic recession was an opportunity for the Church to bail out the country through God-inspired economic principles. Bakare, a Senior Pastor, Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos, stated this on Saturday in Abuja.
He spoke on the theme: “ The Church and Economic Recession , “ at the 14th anniversary celebration of Foursquare Gospel Church.
He said that the church had the ability to bail out nations, influence public policy through God-inspired economic principles and strategically position human resources to implement its principles.
Bakare, however, said that the church was yet to rise to the height mandated to it by destiny to bail out nations and to lead them to God’s will.
“ I am convinced that the recession currently being experienced in Nigeria is an opportunity for the Church.
“Therefore, I declare to you that the Scripture is about to be fulfilled in your hearing as God is stirring up the church to take responsibility for the destiny of Nigeria.
“ That is why we are gathered here today to talk about the church and economic recession.
“ If the church is also reeling from the impact of the recession, we must admit to ourselves that this is against the Scriptural pattern.
“ It is the best of times to take the tenets of the faith beyond the four walls of the church building to the marketplace and the policy roundtable, “ Bakare said.
He said that the nation’s economic recession was largely self-inflicted which could have been avoided, saying “unfortunately for Nigeria, our biggest boom experience fell into the hands of an unprepared leadership.“

In matters of church, Mr Bakare is a figure to reckon with. The Nigerian church is the richest in Africa. Especially during the period of Jonathan, the CAN got it’s first aircraft.
People like Tunde Bakare should shut up and hide under a canal, he supposed not to bring up his head at all, when the past government tried to remove subsidy from petroleum products, he organized a rally to lay curses on the government, not minding that he claimed to be a pastor and the Bible he carries admonished us to respect, honour and pray for those in authority, the government he claimed is the best has now push the country into recession and he is still calling on Church to to bail the nation from the problems he and his party members has pushed us in.
