National Wire About Nigerians, Nigerian Business and Other Stories
By Chinyere Abiaziem
General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has said Nigeria will rise again and that God’s promises concerning the nation were sure to come to pass.
He, advised the leaders and the followers to steer clear off evil in order for God’s promises to come to pass.
Speaking at RCCG National Headquarters, Throne of Grace (TOG) Ebute Metta Lagos, ahead of his 84th birthday at the March Thanksgiving and Special service for youths, young professionals, young adults and their families, Adeboye told Nigerians not to expect the fulfilment of God’s promises if they choose not to amend their ways.
Adeboye who spoke on ‘Divine Promise’ and was represented by Pastor Oladele Balogun, Assistant General Overseer on Administration and Pastor-in-charge of Region 1, stated:”This month of March is a new month, and I believe that this month God wants to move us forward. Like I said, He(God) Has promises for us as individuals, as a nation and as a church. One thing about God is that He can never lie.
“Once the promises are from God, it will surely come to pass. I believe that we are talking about the promise of God for Nigeria. I know that the promise of God for Nigeria is that the eagle will fly again.
“However, like I said in that sermon, for us to enjoy the benefit fully, we have to align and obey God. Someone said ‘you cannot continue to do things the same way and expect different results’. It doesn’t work that way.”
He continued:” If we want God to intervene, we must be ready to turn a new leaf. Obey God, then do things that God wants us to do… So the promise of God for Nigeria is that our eagle will fly again.
“Nigeria will rise again. But we Nigerians, we must align and obey God. If we don’t turn a new leaf, then we might not benefit from that promise.
“…My advice to the leadership of Nigeria is to let them align more to the doctrines of God and obey God. I know they are trying in their own way, but there is room for improvement. If they align more and be obedient to God, I’m sure the promises of God over this nation will surely come to pass.”
