Founder of the Word Commission International and the Word Assembly Churches, Evangelist Isaac Omolehin, has identified lack of proper mentorship on the side of Nigerian’s elite as the cause of the current decadence, social vices among youth.
The clergyman stated this on Friday when he led his team to pay a courtesy visit to the Management of graphic newspapers to herald the activities marking his 50 years of active Evangelical Ministry.
According to him, the visit was also part of his activities at the ongoing three day crusade holding in the State.
Speaking on the current situation in the country, the cleric said, the Nation is getting all sorts of evils as a result of the failure of the elites to give rightful direction and guides to the youths, lamenting that all institutions of social change that would have moulded the actions of the young ones have failed in their responsibilities giving rise to the high level of decadence in the country.
While bemoaning the activities of some men of God and Government officials who flaunted their ill gotten wealth that most often than not sway the youths to emulate their misdeeds, the clergyman frowned at some Pastors who have commercialized and monetize Christianity even as the Elites flamboyantly display their wealth in the midst of abject poverty.
Evangelist Omolehin therefore called for a paradigm shift by all members of the society to return the country to the path of just and egalitarian society in the interest of the future of the nation.
”I started from Kogi State. I went to Government Secondary school Dekina. Kogi is blessed with abundant mineral resources and just only one that Dangote is exploring, see the number of persons he is employing.
”I pray that private sector will take roots here. Private sector is engine room for development. Graphic newspapers will soar when private organisations flourish in the state and that is when, Graphic will prospers.
“On my part, i had secured a land in Ihima, Okehi local government area of Kogi state to build a Polytechnic and Bible College for the training and inculcation of core values in the younger generations” the cleric stated.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Graphic newspapers in his remark, Yusuf Jimoh Itopa, commended the cleric for the propagation of undiluted word of God in the last fifty years.
He added that his preaching has brought light to several communities in Kogi state, urge him not to relent even in retirement.
