She emphasised the need for praising God in all circumstances in which people find themselves be they palatable or otherwise because God appreciates his praises at all times and always reward those praising him than those complaining.

Quoting from many scriptural passages, the minister stressed that what the country and individuals were passing through would be overcome with persistent praising of God and prayer.

She counselled believers to treasure their salvation by leading sinless lives despite temptations in all spheres of life.

Prophetic declarations were made that”God will make Nigeria even more prosperous than She was before.Our land will never again devour her people or rob them of their children.”
