The visioner of the Africa Jerusalem Ministry, Prophet Gideon Adebare Owoseni, has identified high demand for foreign goods at the detriment of the locally produced products as one of the factors hindering the socio-economic growth of the nation.

Owoseeni, who is also the founder of Solution Assembly of Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Ibadan, made this declaration while unveiling the spiritual Pool of Bethesda at the church premises.
Owoseeni noted that the nation’s attitude towards locally-made products has discouraged indigenous investors with the resultant effect being the growing rate of unemployment in the country.
Citing China as an example, Owoseeni pointed out that the leading economic nations of the world are the promoters of locally made products. The cleric, who disclosed that he got the vision of the Pool of Bethesda from the Lord, said he has been instructed to replicate the same in Nigeria.
“I have been to Israel on pilgrimage on many occasions. It was during one of the visits that God instructed me to replicate his experience in Nigeria.
“The Pool of Bethesda is not the only project that we have. There are other spiritual sites. People all over the world have been coming here for spiritual assistance and God has been so faithful.
“However, it is sad to note that many people prefer to travel to Israel in search of what is available in their own country.”This thing is applicable to other locally produced products in the country. That is why the issue of capital flight will continue to be at the forefront in the economic discourse,” he added.

Earlier in his goodwill message, a member of the National Assembly representing Oyo South Senatorial district, Sharafadeen Alli, described the inauguration as not just a physical accomplishment, but a divine representation of healing, hope, and faith.
“The Pool of Bethesda, as we know, is a symbol of miraculous healing and divine intervention, and replicating this in our land speaks to the unwavering faith and vision of this ministry,” he said.
Alli noted that the project will undoubtedly serve as a place of solace, inspiration, and transformation for many who will visit it in search of divine healing and guidance.
“I encourage all of us to reflect on the deeper meaning of this sacred pool. It is not just water, but a symbol of our faith and the grace of God that flows freely to all who seek it.
“May this pool serve as a beacon of hope, touching lives and renewing the faith of countless people in our community and beyond,” he added.
