The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Sunday, said that the socio-economic as well as security challenges confronting the country require spiritual solutions.
The spiritual leader noted that the nation’s political
leaders appeared to have tried their best to seek solutions but that Nigeria
urgently needed divine intervention.
Adeboye stated these when he met the Kaduna State Governor,
Senator Uba Sani, at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House, Kaduna, the state
capital.
He said, “I am delighted to be here again. I was here about
two years ago with the former governor. At that time I came to pray for some of
my members who were kidnapped and were miraculously rescued. I came to
encourage their families to let them know that all will be well.
“I have come again this time around because it has become
clearer to us that the problems our nation is facing is more than political.
Our problems will require quite a bit of spiritual solution.
“We, as a country, are blessed. We are blessed with people
with great intelligence. We are blessed with all manner of resources and yet we
have so many problems.
“It is not as if people in authority are not trying their
best. They are doing as much as humanly possible and then we found out that
when you have problems that are beyond human ability to solve them, you call on
the Almighty. The reason we call Him the Almighty is because He has the power
to solve all problems.
“So, we have been
going round in our own little ways to support the efforts of all the various
governments and parastatals to call on the Almighty to come to our aid because
we need help. We need help and we need it urgently.”
In his response, Governor Sani said President Bola Tinubu
needed the prayers and support of clerics like Adeboye to put the nation on the
path of greatness.
He said,“We also believe that from the remarks you made just
now, our country, at this critical time, requires the intervention from people
like you who are tested and who have in the past intervened and helped us to
find solutions to our problems. We believe you won’t be tired. We also need an
intervention at this critical time.
“Many Nigerians are losing hope and they have been very cautious
about the future but like I said, we are going through difficulties because of
what happened in the past and right now we have a President who is determined
and focused and ready to take the country to a greater height and I have no
doubt, with your intervention and prayers, that our President will certainly
get it right.
“So far, Mr President has taken some very important steps
towards moving our country forward but most of these steps are things that
might be difficult at this critical time because they are major reforms we
need; both economic reforms, as well as social reforms.
“And looking at some of the things that happened in the past
hoping to connect them, we need some reforms that might be painful at this
critical time but I have no doubt that in the near future, Nigeria will be
better for all of us by the grace of God.
“So, we will continue to seek your advice, your wisdom, your
support and most importantly, your prayers. We thank you for coming to Kaduna
and we will continue to consult you for advice and wisdom, thank you.”
