The Acting President, Yemi
Osinbajo, on Wednesday, said no amount of prayer and fast by Nigerians could
move the nation forward without hard work.
Osinbajo said as a pastor
himself, he understood the law of sowing and reaping and knew the implication
of leaving what was supposed to be done undone.
The Acting President spoke
in Abuja during an interactive session organised for public and civil servants
on the implementation of the three Executive Orders which he signed last week.
He said the prosperity and
abundance being enjoyed by great nations today were not created by spirits, but
by men.
While saying the executive
orders were meant to aid the ease of doing business in Nigeria, he warned that
anytime government officials deliberately delayed what they could do
immediately, they were holding back the future of the country.
Osinbajo stated, “No matter
how much you pray or fast, our country cannot grow without some of us deciding
to do the hard work that makes nations work.
“I am a pastor, a spiritual
person, and I understand the law of sowing and reaping. It is a spiritual law
that has tremendous physical implications. Every time that we delay, or frustrate
what we can do today, leaving it till tomorrow, we hold back the future.
We too must reap what we have sown by experiencing delays.
“If you help others to
achieve, if you help your nation, you have sown good seeds. You will find help
and you will prosper too.”
