Kidnapping: what soldiers cannot do, God can – Adeboye
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), says he is optimistic that God would intervene regarding insecurity in Nigeria.
He spoke at the church’s thanksgiving service and intercessory prayers, held at its national headquarters located in the Ebute-Meta area of Lagos.
“In the olden days, except you are one of the special people, they don’t allow the king’s dress to touch you, but now kidnappers can go to the palace to kidnap the king.
“We are in a war situation, let no one deceive you. What kings and soldiers can’t do, the almighty God will do for you.
“God will heal the land and intervene in various issues affecting the country negatively and I want to urge the people to prepare to join me very soon for fasting and prayer for the country.
“Pray for the rulers, we have spent so much time criticising them. You should pray for them. I am praying for them, and I pray you will join me to pray,” he said.
Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said at the event that Nigeria needed “perfect peace”.
“We need perfect peace in our country but for us to have that perfect peace; we also need to have peace from individuals. It is we the citizens that make the country. It is not just about a metaphorical country; it is the people on the ground that truly make a country,” he said.
Others at the event include the governor’s wife, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu; the representatives of Governors Gboyega Oyetola (Osun State) and Dapo Abiodun (Ogun State).
