Leader, countries' success depends on commitment – U.S.-based Cleric

A U.S.-based Cleric, Pastor Keith Moore, on Saturday said countries' success depends on the commitment and forward looking of leaders and the citizenry.

Moore said this as a guest speaker at the 2022 Impartation Conference organised by The Summit Bible Church, Abuja.

He said that leaders, whether spiritual, traditional or those in government, were all creation of God, adding that they deserved their followers' loyalty, commitment and fervent prayers, for them to succeed in their onerous assignments.

Moore said that God had already endorsed their leadership before anybody could emerge as leader, as such the need to follow them.

According to the cleric, the call becomes imperative when one observes and considers the way and manner some Nigerians speak ills of their leaders.

The man of God counseled Nigerians to imbibe the idea of offering genuine pieces of advice to leaders rather than running them down.

He said that the coming of Jesus Christ would be more meaningful if we love one another and our leaders committed, transparent, honest and selfless.

Moore advised both leaders and the led to have a level of trust and commitment for societal and economic growth.

He said that as Christians the level of commitment a believer should have was to give his word and keep it no matter the cost.
