Nigerian Cleric Declares United Families More Powerful Than Military Might
The presiding pastor of the Master’s Place International Church, Pastor Korede Komaiya, has made a compelling declaration that united families possess greater power than the military strength of any nation. In a recent video message that has captured significant public attention, the popular cleric emphasized that societal stability fundamentally originates from the home.
Every Soldier Originates from a Family Home
Pastor Komaiya delivered his powerful message in a video titled All Round Family & Marital Rest, where he addressed worshippers on the indispensable role families play in nation-building. "The families make up a nation," the cleric declared unequivocally. "The families that make up a nation are more powerful than the military of that nation."
Elaborating on this profound position, Pastor Komaiya noted that every member of the armed forces is first and foremost a product of a family unit. This reality establishes the home as the authentic foundation of national strength and security. "Everyone in the military of the nation came from a family," he explained. "A good home is heaven on earth. A bad home, family, or marriage is hell on earth."
Home Peace Determines Societal Peace
According to the cleric's teachings, peace within the domestic sphere directly determines peace in every other aspect of life, including professional environments and public service. "There’s no rest if there’s no rest at home," he added with conviction. "No one can truly be restful when the home is not restful."
Pastor Komaiya further elaborated that the home serves as the primary incubator where values, convictions, and attitudes are initially shaped. These foundational elements ultimately influence the quality of leadership emerging within a nation. "The home is the place where convictions are formed; the home is the place where attitudes are cultivated," Komaiya stated. "The families of a nation will produce the government and teachers of a nation."
He issued a stern warning that society cannot experience genuine peace when families remain broken, insisting that strong homes naturally cultivate stronger institutions. "When the home is not peaceful, society will not be peaceful," he asserted. "The better the families, the better the church, because everybody in a church comes from a family."
Love as the Foundation of Authentic Leadership
In the same impactful message, Pastor Komaiya emphasized love as the true measure of effective leadership. He noted that genuine care and compassion attract people more powerfully than authority or coercive power ever could. "Nothing attracts people like loving them," he highlighted as a fundamental principle.
The cleric illustrated how his ministry practically applies this principle in employee-employer relationships through comprehensive welfare packages. These include:
- A 13th-month salary for all workers
- Additional December bonuses
- Full educational scholarships
- Free accommodation provisions
- Comprehensive health coverage for employees
According to Komaiya, these tangible gestures demonstrate that authentic leadership extends far beyond mere words and rhetoric. "Leadership is love expressed through administration and care for people’s future," he concluded powerfully.
The message has generated widespread attention across various online platforms, with numerous viewers praising the cleric's emphasis on family unity as a crucial catalyst for sustainable national development. Many have engaged in thoughtful discussions about how strengthening domestic foundations could transform broader societal structures.
