Nigeria Needs A Ministry Of Religion Affairs - Pastor Lazarus Muoka

The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years, with branches in America, Canada, Australia, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, India, South Africa, Britain and France. But its General Overseer, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, thinks the vision has just begun. He shares with CHRIS IREKAMBA and FEMI ALABI ONIKEKU, testimonies of divine providence, succession, loyalty within the church, and why the nation needs a ministry of religion.

How should the government tackle insecurity?

We will keep praying for them. If I were to advise the government, I would suggest that a religion affairs ministry be put in place to handle matters of insecurity. If we have a religion affairs ministry and somebody is in charge, you are going to hold him responsible whenever there are lapses because he is the one that should go into discussion with the parties involved in the situation. I think that ministry is very important.

But I think, generally, that the police and military intelligence are doing their best to calm the situation. And when somebody is there to take responsibility, I want to let you know that the matter will not be as you are seeing it today. I think, generally, that the police and other agencies are doing their best, except that they should be equipped to help them do better than they are doing right now. We need functioning helicopters to assist them in their operations.

I suggest they create two ministries– one for Christians and the other for Muslims. If Christians cause the situation, the person in charge of Christians knows the body to meet and discuss, vice versa. I believe that in such a way the problem will be properly handled.
