Trump won because God is angry with US for becoming Sodom and Gomorrah – CAN

President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Samson Ayokunle, has said President-elect of the United States of America, Donald Trump, was positioned by God to fight immorality in the country.

Ayokunle said this at the 29th General Assembly of the Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN) held at First Baptist Church, Garki, Abuja, on Thursday.

Ayokunle lamented that the nation that was once known as God’s own country was vastly becoming Sodom and Gomorrah.

He said that there was an extent to which a nation would emphasize circular and individual liberty to the neglect of God’s absolute reign to the affairs of men.

He, however, called on Nigerians to be on guard at all times as Boko Haram had not been fully defeated, following the recent killing of Lt. Col. Abu Ali and some soldiers in Maiduguri.

The CAN leader said, “it is not over until it is over; the fact that a top army officer was killed is a signal to the fact that we have not defeated them.

“It was also an attestation to the commitment of the Federal Government to fight this demon called Boko Haram.

“So, everybody should be more committed so that the souls of those who died might not be in vain.’’

The CAN boss also urged Christians to be united.

“We are diverse because of our doctrinal beliefs but we must be one because Jesus says the church must be one; He prayed for the church.

“I think the problem with us is the placing of much emphasis on autonomy where it becomes its petals when we lack respect for one another.

“There should be collective recognition of leadership, desire to put up the things of the world and eternity-centred in such a way that occupying position does not matter to anybody,’’ he said.

He said that corruption in the country was endemic and called on the government to keep fighting it so that the country would not be crippled.

“By the result that corruption has given us presently, I think it is high time we all rose and fight the demon; without fighting it, it will cripple us.

“If we are not very careful we will end up becoming a crippled giant because we have allowed corruption to enter into our system,’’ he said.
