CAN urges churches on leadership

Date: 2013-12-17

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged churches in the country to come up with discipleship programmes that will enable Christian political office seekers to easily perform in office.

Assistant Secretary of CAN in North Central zone, Rev. Cornelius Fawenu said this in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital in a forum organized by state chapter of Fellowship of Christian Leaders in Nigeria (FCLN).

He therefore urged clergymen to be more concerned about encouraging political leaders to be Godly and successful in office than outright condemnation of the leaders for failing in office.

He said: "The Church should begin to come up with discipleship programmes that prepare men to be Godly not only on pulpit but also on the rock because it is easier to be Godly in some circumstances than the others."

In the topic entitled: "Fruiting on The Rock," Rev Fawenu said there is a potential in every one to do well at where ever he is called by God for assignment and advised that people should not submit to the hardship of the environment they find themselves.

He said that some of the ways to be successful in one's assignment as a leader who is entrusted with the welfare of the people is to be committed to the assignment and be selfless and urged the leaders to imbibe these qualities.

Earlier, the Coordinator of the FCLN, Ago King Paul said there is high rate of spiritual and moral decadence in the country and that this affects the development of the nation.

He stated: "At the heart of our family, national and global crisis there exists a pervasive lack of spiritual insight, responsible for the attainment of moral quotient critical to moral leadership in all sector of our society.

"Our collective mishap is traceable to our clear departure from the divine tenets of the creator and reliving our own crafted ideology in our Utopian society.

"The lack of moral leadership is demonstrated in the continued uncovering of unethical behaviour from the family to the highest corridors of power."

Paul called for a spiritual and moral rebirth to aid the development of the nation saying "The imperativeness and significance of our moral and spiritual rebirth as family, society and nation remain to our conviction uncompromisable."
