General Overseer of the Redeem Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has said that the country’s victory in its battle against insecurity is around the corner.
Speaking during a courtesy call on Governor Nasir el-Rufai at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House on Tuesday, Adeboye told the Governor that he is praying for him, Kaduna state and Nigeria.
He described el-Rufai as a tender-hearted man, and that many who might be criticising him now will later see the other side of the story.
‘’We know that you have a problem that only God can solve. The problem is far beyond the abilities of any human being. We have known each other for years. I know the kind of person you are. I know you are tender hearted, I know how you definitely must be feeling, particularly when the kidnappings are going on. When they begin to kidnap school children, I know how you must be feeling.
“But be assured that victory is around the corner. We are praying for you and I believe God is going to answer the prayers. I’m assuring you sir that the Almighty God is going to fight for you, He is going to fight for Kaduna state, He is going to fight for Nigeria.
‘’When God begins to do what he alone can do, then the world will see it and they will glorify the name of God, and many people who might be criticizing you now, will probably see the other side of story,” the clergyman said.
Governor el-Rufai commiserated with the Redeem Family over the recent abduction of some pastors and parishioners in Kaduna state, adding, ‘’we also seek your blessings and prayers, as a great man of God, to assist us with the challenges that we are facing here and the country at large. This country needs divine intervention more than at any time in its history.
“So, we are grateful for your prayers, we are grateful for your blessings, and we will continue to ask for more. The Redeem Church has been a pillar of strength; a symbol of Nigeria’s unity and positive force for peace and progress in the state. And we are very grateful with the contributions that they have made.”
The Governor urged Pastor Adeboye to continue to encourage the church to expand throughout Kaduna state because ‘’our state needs your prayers, our state needs your blessings.’’
