Kolenda, the successor of the popular Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, who started a three-day crusade in Ibadan, on Thursday disclosed that God directed him to the country because he (God) “has something special for Nigeria and Ibadan, in particular.”
He advised Nigerians not to lose hope in the nation, just as he charged the citizenry, including political leaders to embrace honesty, saying “righteousness exalt a nation.”
Speaking during an interview with journalists at the premises of Dominion University, Ibadan, the clergy said the crusade will be the greatest that ever happened in the history of the world.
He maintained that having realised the difficulties and challenges the world is facing particularly Nigerians, God has directed him to come to Ibadan city for the liberation of people’s souls.
Kolenda stated: “It is a thing of joy to be back in Nigeria after some year of being in other nations preaching the gospel of Christ all over the world. We realise that this is a difficult time for the whole world particularly Nigerians, alot of nations asked us to come to them but we decided to choose Ibadan because the holy spirit has directed us here.”
“God has a special gift for this town and Nigeria, I and Bonnke have a special connection with Nigeria. Come to the crusade for you to know the special message for Ibadan, you are going to begin to see the manifestation of Gods power starting from tomorrow,” Kolenda stated.
