(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof Yomi Osinbajo has reassured Nigerians that the country will get a new beginning in spite of the present socio-economic hardship confronting the West African nation.

Prof Osinbajo gave the assurance while featuring at the ongoing 25th Annual Convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in America, under the theme, “New Beginning”.

He said it is in the nature of God to create new beginnings and that Nigeria is on course for one, regardless of all doubts.

To buttress his declaration, he cited the biblical story of Nathaniel who doubted whether any good thing could come out of Nazareth, and declared with optimism that despite people doubting if anything good would come out of Nigeria, the country will experience a new beginning.

“Today, many men are saying the same about our nation Nigeria, even men of God, but this is the textbook case of how God works, He is set to give Nigeria a new beginning.

“In the midst of current travails, the God of new beginnings is about to change our story. He is about to do something new. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning”, he said.

The VP, who is also a pastor in RCCG, further stated that the ideal person ready for a new beginning is one who requires the strength of God to show forth in their weakness.

“God did not create us to be independent of Him, He did not endow us with the strength to succeed without Him.”…The God of new beginnings did not create us to be self-sufficient. We need Him”, he added.

Prof. Osinbajo spoke at one of the sessions of The Americas Convention of the RCCG featuring the General Overseer of the Church, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, the Continental Overseer of the Church in the American Continent, Pastor James Fadel, and other guest speakers drawn from around the world.

The Convention of the RCCG in the US is reported to be the largest gathering of Nigerians anywhere in the US, Canada, and Southern and Central American countries.
