The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Friday said he does not trust politicians.
Adeboye spoke while in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, for a two-day interdenominational prayer. According to the cleric, politicians in most cases hardly fulfil their promises.
Adeboye justified his position by giving an illustration with the story of three travellers – an Indian, a Jew and a politician.
He narrated that while on their journey, the three travellers had some challenges, and went to a farmer for help but the farmer said he could only accommodate two.
He said the Indian volunteered to sleep in the barn but returned a few minutes later that there was a cow there.
The Indian, according to the illustration, said he can't sleep there because cows are gods, worshipped in his country.
Adeboye said the Jew also came back complaining that the pig inside where he was placed was unclean.
The cleric added that the politician volunteered to go and sleep among the pigs.
Instead of the politician to come back complaining, Adeboye said, it was the pig and cow that came knocking that the politician be sent away because he had promised to make the environment, including the barn, conducive with air-conditioner.
"I don't trust politicians; politicians are liars. They don't fulfil most of their promises. A politician can tell you that they will give all of you (students) chicken each, which we all know it is impossible," Adeboye said.
The RCCG general overseer, whose one of his pastors, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), is the vice-presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress, asked Nigerian to stop worrying themselves about who would emerge winner in the next election.
He explained that God is a "master planner," who already planned the leadership development of Nigeria.
He added, "Stop disturbing yourself about who will be the President of Nigeria. God has already planned who will be the President of Nigeria. God has already planned that before we were born. God is not like human beings, who doubts what is to be done. He has plan for everything."
Vice-Chancellor of OAU, Prof. Bamitale Omole, commended Adeboye for his yearly presence in the university, saying his divine intervention were having positive impacts in the school.
"We appreciate the love of Pastor Adeboye. With God and his presence last year, we had no calamities and also emerged as the best university in Nigeria. I urge students to be prayerful and cautious of what they do as God will continue to protect us," he added. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

I dig dis. A perfect comment without political undertone unlike some pastors who speak for or against owing to which political party paid the highest tip. Ride on Enoch, God bless u.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed by this your teachings, though I am not a "Christian", politicians (particularly Nigerian) are great liars, but my anger with you church leaders is that you accommodate them by giving them front seats each time they come to your churches. You (churches), stretch your hands fully to collect the stolen money they bring to you.
ReplyDeleteI guess u are a Muslim, what do Muslim politicians do with their loots, build mosque, become mallam/chief imam, lead prayers in ur mosque. What difference does it make, don't try to demonise any religion otherwise I will open ur own can of worm.
DeleteYANY U are a TRUE MUSLIM. I would be SURPRISED if U did not make the above COMMENT. All of U practicing that DEMONIC RELIGION will never see anything good in CHRISTIANITY in PARTICULAR and other RELIGIONS. However, U guys fail to notice the LOG of WOOD in Ur EYES and constantly want to remove the broom stick in others eyes. U are in BOUNDAGE and for ever will remain a SLAVE to SATAN the DEVIL in the form of ISLAM.
DeleteAN IMAM PLAINLY SAID IN HIS PUBLIC PREACHING THAT IT IS ISLAMICALLY RIGHT TO EMBEZZLE ANY PUBLIC MONEY SO FAR HE BRINGS IT TO IMAM'S FEET TO BE SHARED AND SPEND ON MOSQUE FROM IT. SO YANNY WHAT ARE YOU SAYING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AS IF YOU ARE OF ONE KIND PURE RELIGION FROM THE SPACE
DeleteThis is how men of God talk.
ReplyDeleteTrue talk n I believe papa. Nigerians you have hard him stop worrying your self, whoever God Almighty enthrone is our president. Do not allow politicians to use you n later dump you. They don't use their children, think.
ReplyDeleteDaddy God bless you,you have spoken as a man elected by God.
ReplyDeleteYany... tell us ... mosques dont accommodate ooliticiabs wheb they come Right?... and do not collectdonations from them? Or maybe your point is that churches should do better being the way of truth. And I agree somewhat...but understand that anything anyone gives in deceit is not acceptable to God even if it is received by a church. Also church role us to wekcome anyone that comes, preachthe truth to them. It is each persons responsibility to live by the truth.
ReplyDeleteThis is a bitter truth and it is better told than swallowed. This should be a lesson for other anointed brethren that worship money that will eventually soil their garments.
ReplyDeleteMuslims are d must troublesome religion in d world,using dere stolen money to promote jihad
ReplyDeleteThank you sir. God will continue to bless you and increase you in wisdom. Real leaders don't allow politician use them for their gain. After the even come to church, they go back to take oath with the devil.
ReplyDeleteG.O is totally right. But why is it that most of his pastors are politicians? Are they not the people funding the church? Leave matter bo.
ReplyDeleteI’m impressed. You’re truly well informed and very intelligent. You wrote something that people could understand and made the subject intriguing for everyone. I’m saving this for future use.
ReplyDeleteCould APC be the Nigerian version of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Party? Check out this: 1. Party Leader - North: Gen Muhammadu Buhari (Muslim). 2. Party Leader - South: Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Muslim). 3. National Chairman: Abdulkareem Bisi Akande (Muslim). 4. Deputy National Chairman: Aminu Bello Masari (Muslim). 5. National Secretary: Tijjani Musa Tumsah (Muslim). 6. Deputy National Secretary: Nasir El-Rufai (Muslim). 7. National Publicity Secretary: Lai Muhammad (Muslim). 8. National Treasurer: Sadiya Umar Faruq (Muslim) 9. National Financial Secretary: Alhaji Shaibu Musa (Muslim). 10. National Youth Leader: Abubakar Lado (Muslim). 11. National Legal Adviser: Muiz Banie (Muslim). 12. National Deputy Auditor: Bala Jibrin (Muslim). 13. National Women Leader: Sharia Ikeazor (Muslim convert). 14. EX-Officio Member: Muniru Muse (Muslim). 15. EX-Officio Member: Alhaji Yemi Sanusi (Muslim). Yet, these people want us to believe they are PROGRESSIVES and that APC is a national party. I think APC has a hidden religious agenda..Be guided people!
ReplyDeleteShare to all Christian you know to vote wisely. I will not want my children to live in a Nigeria where they cannot worship their GOD!
