Nigeria’s Next President By Pastor Adeboye by kglamour(m): 6:24pm On Jan 18, 2015
THE General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God
(RCCG), Pastor E.A Adeboye, has said only God knows Nigeria’s
next president.
Adeboye made the submission on Thursday, at the just-
concluded two-day Bible study programme organised by the
University of Ibadan (UI) Christian Family Fellowship, at the
International Conference Centre, UI.
Citing an example of a highly-placed ambassador who requested
to know his opinion about the political future of the country,
Adeboye said people waiting for his opinion concerning where
the presidential pendulum would swing in February 14 needed
not bother themselves, as his opinion did not matter, but that of
God.
“Do you know that if we talk more about Jesus than we do about
politics, God will take care of politics? One great ambassador
asked what my opinion is about what is going on, I said my
opinion does not matter. He said that was not what we wanted
to hear. I said my opinion does not matter, because what God is
going to do is what He will do,” the septuagenarian cleric stated.
He said: “When you say you are on the side of a politician, you
are on the wrong side ever possible. Because politicians never
tell you the truth and you can quote me. Tell them that I said so.
Politicians know how to say ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ at the same time.”
The annual event started on Tuesday, at 4:00 p.m with other
sessions held at 6:00 a.m and 4:00 p.m of Wednesday, as well as
6:00 p.m on Thursday.
Adeboye, who has kept his distance from making public
statements on issues relating to the forthcoming general election,
while teaching on “Obedience to God’s commands,” enjoined
Christians to spend more time preaching the gospel of Jesus
Christ to unsaved souls rather than politics.
Quoting from the scriptures, he reeled out nine areas to include:
Giving, Tithing, Purity, Transparency, Forgiveness, Love,
Evangelism, among others where Christians should ensure they
walk with God.
Adeboye contended that if Christians focused more on preaching
the Good News and winning souls to populate God’s Kingdom,
God would take care of the political situation of the country.
He admonished Nigerians to engage more in profitable pastime
than dissipating their time and energy on which political
candidate was good or bad, saying no human being was good.
“Do you think God is sitting down in Heaven and scratching His
head on who should win (the general election)? That has been
settled before we were born. Don’t waste your energy discussing
this one is good, that one is bad. Is there any human being that
is good?” he queried rhetorically.
Adeboye said Christians should focus on telling God in prayers
that His perfect will should be done in February, saying they
should also understand that God could use even His enemies to
carry out His will if need be.
“Ask for the perfect will of God for the elections, instead of
worrying over who will win. God can use His enemy to fulfill his
will.
“There are many of us who want to know the details of who will
win the next elections, who is going to be president, who is going
to be governor, …just say, Father let Your perfect will be done.
“What’s God’s perfect will? That if the fellow, who is going to
come to power is going to be God’s enemy, it will be part of His
perfect will. Because occasionally when God wants to move you
to where He wants you to be, He may need to use an enemy.
Joseph would never have fulfilled his destiny if his brother had
loved him,” the man of God explained.
To drive home his point that politicians should not be trusted
because of their penchant for double-speaking, the humorous
lecturer-turned cleric told the congregation about the story of
three characters among which were a Hindu, a Jew and a
Politician whose car broke down at night after embarking on a
journey and they had to pass the night at a farmer’s abode.
According to him, “Three people were in a car and the car broke
down at night. So, they went to a farm to stay. And the farmer
said “well, I have two beds, but the third would have to go and
sleep in the barn. And the first one that went to sleep in the
barn, I think a Hindu or so, very soon he came and said “sorry I
can’t sleep in the barn because there is a cow there and the cow
is our god and I can’t sleep with my god.
“So, the Jew said I can go and sleep there because cow is not my
god. But very soon, he came back and said “oh, I’didnt know
there is a pig there, a pig is an unclean animal to us. I can’t
sleep with the pig.”
“And the third person said “no problem, cow or pig whatever, is
not my problem. And he was a politician. He went to sleep and
very soon, there was a knock on the door. The farmer opened
the door and found the cow and the pig standing by the door
and they said “we can’t sleep in the barn because there is a
politician there.”
“So, the farmer asked them “why”? They said “because by
tomorrow morning, we will become liars.” And he said to them
‘how come?’ And they said ‘because he’s (politician) been with us
for just five minutes and he has promised us so many things. He
promised us that as soon as he gets home, he would air-condition
the barn, he would give us colour television…. .’ Do I need to say
more?” the man of God concluded amid an applause from the
congregation.
It will be recalled that Pastor Adeboye, in his New Year prophecy
to the nation, has said he would keep to himself what God told
him what would characterize the political atmosphere of the
year, but added that “By the end of the year (2015), many will
say “all is well that ends well.”
