The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Enoch Adejare Adeboye, said on Sunday, that the current situation of the country was akin to a state of war.
Adeboye made this disclosure during the church’s monthly thanksgiving service, which also commemorates Nigeria’s 62nd independence.
Adeboye anchored the sermon entitled: “Perfect peace in the land,” on II Chronicles 7: 13-14.
Adeboye said peace was the absence of war and the absence of storm, adding that “perfect peace refers to one which is permanent.”
He noted that storms were in categories.
According to him, “times have gone by when traditional rulers were deified, and accorded respect,” adding, “currently they are arbitrarily kidnapped.”
He said, “In the old days, except you were one of the special people, they won’t allow the king’s dress to touch you.
“Now kidnappers can go to the palace to kidnap the king. We are in a war situation, let no one deceive you.”
While prophesying that the end was in sight, Adeboye, stressed that God would bring an ultimate end to the situation.
“What kings, soldiers can’t do, the Almighty God will do for you,” he said..
Adeboye also urged the people to cease criticising their leaders, maintaining that residents should instead pray for them.
He lamented that people had opted for condemnation instead of seeking solutions through intercession.
The General Overseer 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.” (with report by Glitters)
