Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), says that the security challenge facing Nigeria today is not ordinary, but he assures that God’s intervention is inevitable and will manifest soon.
“The problem of Nigeria today is beyond human comprehension. A situation where non-state actors dictate to the government when people should come out and not to come out,’’ Pastor Adeboye told Governor Hope Uzodinma during a courtesy visit at the Imo government house, Owerri in the company of some of his senior pastors.
Adeboye said his team and members have been fasting and praying for the restitution of the land for days but that God directed him to visit the places and lands across Nigeria where the forces of darkness were enveloping light, hence the visit to Imo State for a prayer session.
A press statement issued by Oguwike Nwachuku, the chief press secretary to governor Uzodinma, stated that Adeboye had informed the governor that the reason for his visit was not just to touch his legs on those lands and places where the forces of darkness tend to have taken upper hand, but to proclaim and decree the strength of God Almighty on such places.
“With the visit, South East from henceforth, there must be light,” he said.
Uzodinma described the visit as “a big privilege because Adeboye is believed to be a real anointed man of God.”
He said that Imo people and his government were not in doubt that Pastor Adeboye’s visit would bring peace, unity and stability to Imo State in particular and the South East in general because the visit and prayers would usher in progress and development.
He described Adebayo as one of the true men of God who, the people believe, in the current situation and challenges facing the country, “as the last hope of the common man.”
The governor assured pastor Adeboye of the support of Imo people and government of Imo State to make his visit a successful one, and also prayed God to protect him and his team, not only on their visit but in all they were doing “to rescue Nigeria from insecurity and the quagmire it has found itself.”
“I am sure of the visit of Daddy G. O. Adeboye, that it will bring peace, unity and remove all the things that cause distractions on the way of government and the people will confess with testimonies,” he said.
