The President of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Pastor Henry Ojo, has admonished political and religious leaders in Nigeria to operate with the fear of God and know that they will give an account of their stewardship to Almighty God.
Ojo gave the admonishing at the induction of Prophet Richard Kolawole as the General Evangelist, Nigeria and Overseas of the church.
TheNewsZenith reports that the induction took place, weekend at the Oniyanrin, Ibadan, Oyo State.
“Prizes and perils are attached to every position in life,” the Church President said.
He urged the leadership to perform their obligations faithfully because posterity would judge them.
Ojo said the leadership position often attracts envy and jealousy from detractors and haters.
He cautioned that leaders should eschew evil but always strive to do good to support humanity and “always let their eyes be upon God” for posterity’s sake.

“Be it political or religious leadership, they are mostly not celebrated during their lifetime.
“They are criticised, vilified and even traumatised psychologically for whatever they do.
“But a leader who is conscious of this and sets his mind on achieving good results will not be deterred, but remain focused to act according to the dictates of God.
“If you do so, posterity will judge you right and your name will be written in gold. Conversely, people will remember and talk about you after your demise, if you do evil,” Ojo said.
He charged the new General Evangelist to act like the late Apostle Ayo Babalola and the enigmatic leader like Chief Obafemi Awolowo whose legacies are still being referenced.
