Pastor Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), claims that God still answers prayers. He, on the other hand, blamed Christians for Nigeria’s current state, while declaring a seven-day prayer and fasting period. Prayer, according to Pastor Adeboye, is the master key and the only way to heal Nigeria from the plagues that have befallen it.
Pastor Adeboye said:
“I will tell you the truth: That Nigeria is still one up till this moment is a sign of a miracle, it shows God still answers prayers.
“But if you want something and you haven’t got it yet, you will pray more. After all, He (God) said “pray till your joy be full, whether you believe it or not, one day, and I believe it won’t be long, our joy will be full.”
Pastor Adeboye declared a seven-day prayer and fasting period for youths during the program. Pastor Adeboye encouraged the congregation of youths to pray and fast, assuring them that God still answers prayers and will never fail. He stated that the fasting and prayers will begin on Saturday, November 26 and end on Wednesday, December 2.
Pastor Adeboye said:
“It’s only for seven days. We want to pray surprisingly for ourselves. I will tell you more details later but whatever is going on in Nigeria today is the fault of us Christians.”
Pastor Adeboye used a bible analogy to explain why Christians should always seek the face of God and call on his name while explaining why Christians are the cause of Nigeria’s problems. He stated that Christians must pray fervently, and that God will hear from heaven and heal the land of its plagues.
Pastor Adeboye said:
“The church is the only organisation in the world that is bold enough to say we are children of God. So, we are the people called by His name that is why they call us Christians. We are the ones to pray if we want our land to be healed.”
