A pastor of the church, who spoke in confidence, said: “The church is focusing on the peaceful conduct of the 2015 elections and for God to prevent trouble. We need to pray for Nigeria. The 2015 elections are just around the corner.
“The General Overseer is not leaving any stone unturned to ensure that members key into the development. All pastors have also met with the General Overseer in Lagos for further briefs.”
It was also learnt that the pastors have taken the fasting period serious.
Another pastor, who spoke in confidence, said members have been converging on the church’s branches to pray and break their fast.
