Better day ahead for Nigeria -- Pastor Adeboye prophecies

By Editor

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Enoch Adeboye, has prophecied that there are better days for Nigeria, urging the citizens to stop criticising leaders in the country, but pray for them for better economic prosperity.

Adeboye, who also described the current situation in Nigeria as a war zone, however, called on Nigerians to continuously work and pray for peace in the nation and leadership of the country for sustainable progress.

Adeboye made the call on Sunday, in their separate message at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Special October Thanksgiving Service/Special Prayer Session for All State Governors and Deputy Governors, themed: “Perfect Peace in the Land,” which also commemorates Nigeria’s 62nd independence, held at RCCG Headquarters, 1-9, Redemption Way, Ebute-Metta (East), Lagos.

Governors in attendance and represented were: Ogun, Lagos and Osun States, Dapo Abiodun, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Adegboyega Oyetola, respectively.

In his sermon, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christians Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, who took his sermon from a Bible passage, 1 Corinthians 7:13-14, said peace is the absence of war, the absence of storm, adding that perfect peace refers to one which is permanent, as “storms are in categories.”

According to Adeboye, times have gone by when traditional rulers were treated as demi-gods with so much respect, but currently are arbitrarily kidnapped.

“In the olden days, except you are one of the special people, they don’t allow the king’s dress to touch you. But thank God.

“Now kidnappers can go to the palace to kidnap the king. We are in a war situation, let no one deceive you,” G.O stated.

While Prophesying the end in sight to Nigeria’s challenges, Adeboye, stressed that God would bring an ultimate end, “What kings, soldiers can’t do, the Almighty God will do for you,” he stated.

Adeboye, also urged the people to stop criticising their leaders, maintaining that residents should pray for them.

He lamented that people have opted for condemnation instead of seeking solutions through intercession.

Adeboye said, “Pray for the rulers, we have spent so much time criticising them. You should pray for them. I’m praying for them, I pray you will join me to pray.
