The Lead Pastor, Victory Life Bible Church, Apostle Lawrence Achudume has visited the new Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. Oludaisi Elemide, describing him as a role model from the body of Christ.
Apostle Achudume said Elemide exemplifies the values, teachings and the principles of Christianity in his actions and lifestyle, even as he assured the lawmaker from Odeda State Constituency and his team of the Church’s prayers and support for them to succeed.
The televangelist spoke during a courtesy visit to the Speaker in his office at the Assembly Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, to congratulate him on his emergence as the Speaker of the Assembly in Ogun State.
Achudume was accompanied by his Wife, Reverend Folake Achudume.
He reckoned that Elemide coming on board at this time was an attestation that God made all things beautiful in His time.
Achudume said, “The Lord through your colleagues have put you there, don’t disappoint them, nor God or the state. I must say I have watched your journey as a politician and strides in the house, ‘in God’s time He makes all things beautiful’ Ecclesiastes Chapter 3, verse 11.
“Mr. Hon. Speaker, I came to greet and congratulate you on your election as the Speaker of the state House of assembly. When I read of your election and all that happened, it was impressed on me to see you and let you know, you are not on that chair by accident. You are a man with a mission to join, help the executive arm build the state of our dream and remove poverty from our people.
“It takes a truly good leadership of the house to play her function in ensuring the executive does what it should do you and your team are watchmen over the state.
“God brought you as a model from the body of Christ. You are a bundle of testimony. I want to assure you and your team of our prayers and the Lord will help you.”
The Speaker in his response appreciated the lead Pastor and his wife for the visit, while thanking God for protecting and using him to prove a point in the political arena.
He said “I am on a rescue mission of which God is abundantly able and faithful to deliver me.
“My not getting here in time was due to my stance. Pastors can encourage Christians to join politics but don’t leave your God behind. Serve the people but go with your God.”
