The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, says the situation of the country is tantamount to being in a war.
Adeboye made this disclosure on Sunday during its monthly thanksgiving service, which also commemorates Nigeria’s 62nd independence which was monitored by our correspondent.
The reputable clergyman was delivering a sermon ‘Perfect peace in the land, from II Chron.7: 13-14.
Adeboye said Peace is the absence of war, 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 when traditional rulers were deified, accorded respect, adding that currently they were arbitrarily kidnapped.
He said, “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 war, let no one deceive you.”
While Prophesying the end in sight, Adeboye, stressed that God would bring an ultimate end, “What kings, soldiers can’t do the Almighty God will do for you,” he added.
Adeboye, also urged the people to cease from critising their leaders, maintaining that residents should instead pray for them.
He lamented that people have opted for condemnation instead of seeking solutions through intercession.
The General Overseer said, “Pray for the rulers, we have spent so much time critising them. You should pray for them. I’m praying for them, I pray you will join me to pray.”
