Seek God In Place Of Battle, Clergy Urges Arm Forces

The chaplain of 3 Bricade Nigeria Army protestant church, Maj. Rev. P.A Oladoke has urged the Armed forces to seek God in their place of primary assignments to be victorious.

Maj. Oladoke gave the charge on Sunday during an interdenominational thanksgiving service at the Nigerian Airforce Protestant church in Kano to mark Armforces remembrance day.

He emphasised the spirit of togetherness and asked them to understand that victory comes from God; hence, there is a need to seek and lead Him to take the lead for a sure win.

Admonishing them from the book of Joshua 1:1-7, he said God can give the power to face any authority and victory against any form of insecurity bedevilling the country, such as banditry and kidnapping.

While calling on their wives to remain steadfast in praying for their spouse’s victory, he tasked the officers to stay courageous and disciplined and always have a place for God in their hearts to be able to stand firm.

In his remarks, the Commander of 403 Flying Training School, Grp. Capt. M.K Nanle urged the Armed forces to rededicate themselves to service so that the sacrifices of the fallen heroes would not be in vain.

While calling for more public support, he said it would help them perform their various responsibilities.

Also, in his remarks, the chief of staff of 3 barricades, Bukavu barrack, Col. John Idakwu, tasked the officers with allowing God to lead and following God’s instructions to secure victory in their assignments.
