Raziela Leads Women to Cry out for Societal Change

Pastor Lanre Kosoko, of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Mercy place  Parish Lekki, Lagos, on Saturday called on women intercede on the nation's political, economic and social problems  through special  prayers. Lanrre who is also the wife of Pastor Seye Kosoko, the head Pastor at the Parish, made the call during the 6th  "Woman Cry Out"conference in Lagos.

However, the conference was jointly organised by the parish and Razela Foundation

an NGO set up to provide educational opportunities to financially disadvantaged Nigerians.

The event was designed to work out problems bothering women both at home and in the society with the aim of transforming their lives in many ways. Lanre, who read

from the book of  Isaiah 9-11 said that "Rise up you woman who are at ease ! Hear

 my voice , you confident and careless daughters! Listen to what I am saying.

"In little more than a year you will be shaken with anxiety, you careless and complacent women; for the vintage will fail and the ingathering will not come. Tremble, you women who are at ease ! Shudder with fear , you complacent ones, strip yourselves bare and grid sack-cloth upon your loins in grif."

She noted that God would continue to use women and change the human family for

 betterment of people and the country at large. Lanre therefore stressed the urgent

need for Nigerian women irrespective of the faith to intercede in the affairs of their

families and the nation through prayers.

However, two men women who gave the testimonies express happiness on how

woman cry out transformed their lives. " I have been attending two man cry out

conferences from the fist to the 6th, God has been working on my life and

made me to be what I am today.

"Those things that I though to be impossible in my life turn out to be possible

except  one thing which I believe God will see me through, " said a woman who

 simply gave her name as Vera.

"Women cry out is not a social gathering but a prayer session between you and

your God, " said  Pastor Bemigho Omayuku, the coordinating Pastor of the programme.

She appealeds to women to asked for God forgiveness and made up their mind

 and return to God, surrender the worries and trust God and believe that God

would change their lives for better.

"If you leave a place of race what always be the out come is that you come last, "

Omayuku said, urging the women to prayerful all the time.

However, the programme attracted significant number of women from all

works of life coming from different denomination.
