General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adeboye, has decried that Nigeria’s current situation is tantamount to being in a war.
Adeboye also urged the people to cease criticising their leaders, maintaining that Nigerians should instead pray for them.
The clergyman made this disclosure on Sunday during its monthly thanksgiving service, which also commemorates Nigeria’s 62nd independence and is monitored by our correspondent.
The clergyman was delivering a sermon titled, ‘Perfect peace in the land’, from II Chronicles 7: 13-14.
Adeboye said peace is the absence of war, the absence of storm, adding that perfect peace refers to one which is permanent.
He noted that storms were in categories.
According to him, times have gone by when traditional rulers were deified, and accorded respect, adding that currently they were arbitrarily kidnapped.
He said, “In the olden days, except you are one of the special people, they didn’t allow the king’s dress to touch you. But thank God.
“Now kidnappers can go to the palace to kidnap the king. We are in a war situation, let no one deceive you.”
While Prophesying the end in sight, Adeboye, stressed that God would bring an ultimate end, “What kings, soldiers can’t do, the Almighty God will do for you,” he added.
