Adeboye’s Posers For FG To Ponder Over
Ola ‘Kiya, Reporting
Miffed by the sorry state of Nigeria, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, on Sunday, dropped nine posers for the Federal Government and other government functionaries to ponder over.
The renowned cleric, during his sermon titled: ‘Waiting Without Wasting,’ at RCCG National Headquarters, Ebute-Meta, Lagos, said God hasn’t spoken to him concerning 2023 general elections, possibly given the current parlous state of the country, which appears to be at a crossroads.
He said he was more concerned about the current worsening state of Nigeria in the area of security, economy and leadership, warning that the country is drifting towards bankruptcy.
The Mathematician-turned cleric, therefore, dropped nine posers around oil and gas, the state of the economy and the incessant attacks of terrorists on Kaduna State, a northern Nigerian state, that has been under the eye of the storm for over a year.
Below are his posers:
On Kaduna, he said “You can’t go to Kaduna by road, you can’t go to Kaduna by air, they can attack you at the airport, you can’t go to Kaduna by train, I have been so heavy in mind, as a man who is a man of prayer.
Question 1. Why Kaduna?
Question 2. Who is trying to isolate Kaduna?
Question 3. Why?
Question 4. After Kaduna, where next?
On 2023 general elections he said: “Some of you are killing yourselves about 2023; some of you Christians, you don’t even know may be the rapture may have come before the end of this year. Can’t the rapture come before then? We are talking of Kaduna, today. That is one point, prayer point for my (prayer) partners, take note.”
On oil and gas, he said: “It is in the news, nobody has denied it that as of now, more than 80 per cent of the oil we are producing has been stolen, or you didn’t read that in the news? More than 80 per cent of all the oil we are producing has been stolen. Nobody had denied it, it came from the government. That leads me to several questions.
Question 1. Who is the one stealing the oil?
Question 2. Where is the money going? 80 per cent of what should have been the income of a Nation, is going to the hands of some people, that’s a lot of money mehn!
Question 3. What do they want to do with the money?
Question 4. Who are the foreign nations buying this stolen oil?
Question 5. How many of these nations of the world are your friends?
So, you can see the reason why I am not thinking of 2023. Maybe that is why God has not spoken to me about that because there is a lot to deal with now. Do I tell you one more thing?
On income and expenditure, the reverred cleric said: “It’s an open secret, it’s in the news, undenied that more than 90 per cent of our income, more than 90 per cent of the money we get from the leftover of the oil that was stolen, we are using it to pay the interest of the money we have already borrowed.
More than 90 per cent and then it is in the news, I am sure you listened to the news, we are borrowing more. Meaning what? According to a friend of mine, we are moving steadily to bankruptcy, a whole Nation! My beloved Nigeria is moving steadily towards bankruptcy.
“We are talking of today now. So, you can see the reason why somebody like me, I am more concerned about what is happening now than what is going to happen a year from now.
“So, please all my partners wake up, we must pray again, we must pray for Kaduna, pray for all the States, pray for our beloved Nigeria. Pray that the Almighty God who sees all will expose those who are stealing our oil.
“That this Almighty God will have mercy on our Nation. He’s the Almighty, he can deal with our debts, after all, during the reign of President Obasanjo, we became debt-free, because the people we owed forgave us; that God is still on His throne. If that God does not intervene, your children, your children’s children will still be paying debts. That has to change.
“Then let me now conclude because I have a lot to say, so you’ll help me beg all these political gymnasts not to bother me o, they should let me do my Job.
“You know why I am not a Politician? Why I’m not bothered about who is going to be who? And for your information, anybody who comes to me from whatever party and asks me to pray for him, I will pray.
“I have only one prayer for every one of them, ‘Father, let your perfect will concerning this fellow be done. That is always my prayer. It is written, those of you who are killing yourselves over who rules or who does not rule, it is written, the Most High rules in the affairs of men and he gives it to whomever He pleases. That’s what the Bible says, that’s why I am waiting. Whoever He says that’s my fellow. Who are you supporting? Whoever God says.
You said you’re not a politician, why are you asking your children to show interest in politics, witches are showing interest, didn’t you read that in the paper? If something is so important that witches are showing interest, should Christians go to sleep? I think I better stop there.”
