Adapt Your Lifestyle To The Current Economic Climate – Clergyman Advises Nigerians

By Sola Omoniyi, Lagos

Following the termination of the fuel subsidy, Rev. Tajan Moltok, the Jos Resident Pastor of Shepherd House Assembly International, advised Nigerians to adapt to the new economic reality.

During the Church’s midweek evening worship in Jos, the clergyman made the request.

He advised Nigerians to prioritise their travel and spending as coping strategies to lessen suffering.

“Adjust to the economic and social realities of today. Live sensibly and be adaptable,” he advised.

He warned the congregation against leading a false lifestyle to obtain approval from society, stating that following Christ was more important than appeasing others.

Do not push yourself to live a pretend life, he advised, “if you typically consume a whole chicken. Instead, cut it in half.”

The current economic climate, according to Moltok, should also be a time for the congregation to consider investing and having several sources of income to meet life’s obstacles. He urged them not to use the situation as a justification for making concessions to commit illegal acts.

He exhorted them to rely on God to get through challenging circumstances.
