President Goodluck Jonathan has congratulated Pastor Enoch Adeboye on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
The president in his letter described pastor Adeboye as a truly inspirational and inspiring leader who has dedicated his life to service in the vineyard of the Lord.
He also described the phenomenal growth of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, (RCCG) as a clear testimony of God’s hand upon the pastor's life and his productive leadership qualities.
He also commended the General Overseer of RCCG for his spiritual and prayerful support to the nation’s leadership at all levels.
"As you attain the highly symbolic landmark age of three-score-and-ten on Friday, March 2, 2012, it is with profound joy that I write on behalf of my family, the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and on my own behalf, to express very warm felicitations to you.
"You have lived a truly inspirational and inspiring life of dedicated service in the vineyard of the Lord. Rising above the limitations of a background of deprivation to thrive in academics before going into full time ministry, the phenomenal growth of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, of which you are the General Overseer, clearly testifies to God’s hand upon your life and your productive leadership qualities.
"In these critical times in Nigeria’s developmental history, we need, more than ever before, to seek the face of the Lord. Your readiness at all times to offer spiritual and prayerful support to the nation’s leadership at all levels deserves special commendation.
"As your celebrate this historic day with your nuclear family, your numerous children-in the-Lord, friends and well-wishers, I would like to paraphrase Apostle Paul in his second letter to Timothy by praying that Almighty God continues to empower you to successfully fight the good fight, fruitfully run the course, and continue to keep the faith, until that day when you shall receive the crown of righteousness laid up for you," the president said.

Dear President Jonathan,

Pastor Adeboye is too expensive for you. I can offer you spiritual guidance and support for just $10,000 a month. Holla at your boy .


ps: if you don't take this offer, i'll give all my juju to timipre silva. and u know that nigga don't like u. go figure.

dts wot he knows best sending birthday msg & attending funerals, what do u expect 4rm a drunkard fisherman?, a failing presido!

Happy Birthhday papa GO

I don't knw what to say, yet,
still nursing the painful loss of Perx (f) in UBTH

Dude is just stupid and ignorant. I wonder how they say he got a PHD.

Seest thou a man diligent in his works, ,

lolll

Is the picture of gej kneeling before adeboye real or photoshop?

This goes out to all GEJ haters:

Fact: Many of you are not leaders and would never be in leadership position till the day you die.

Reminder: GEJ is our President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Educationally: Getting a PhD is a book book thing and not by eloquence or bravado. Many of you saying stuff about him behave as if they have not gone through any form of schooling. I would have called all of you illiterates, but for the fact that you could at least log on to Nairaland and type, means you are educated. And if you went to university, especially in Nigeria, let me ask you this question: Was it only the most strongest, the most eloquent, the most popular, the most stylish, the most glamorous, the most influential, the most brave or the most grammatic students that graduated from your class? My guess is as good as yours. NO.

Religious: I am also very sure that the Bible commands us to give respect to those in authority, that was why Christ never confronted the Government of the day,. The Bible rather admonish that we pray for them always. I am no authority in the Qu'ran, but, I know that the Moslems believe that power comes only from God and he gives it to those he has found deserving of it. For the records, I have not found any religion, be it orthodox or traditional that is confrontational to any legitimate government.

And Now To You GEJ Haters: I am sure you don't have a PhD and God has not find you worthy to entrust power unto you. So, it is very easy to see how worthless you are.

My Advice: Pray for your leaders always, they need your every support and also PRAY that God finds you worthy of becoming a leader someday. No hating, just my ten cents.

Jonathan i wish you show a little mercy to the nation and disappear, i mean vanish.

@Flyboy Zee

Don't waste your time with certain types.
Winshes must fly like winshes, if not how will we know they have no upbringing?

That's good question that I would like to know as well! [img]http://gbielin.info/g.gif[/img]

Phd qualification of people like gej is not as qualitative as that toddlers in reception level in functional societies.His kneeling before that man shows his fundamental ignorance and hos total bow to darkness and irrationality.

Where in God's name did the poster got the message from?
I was at the service when minister Aganga made the presentation in a closed envelope and he clearly announced it as a PRIVATE MESSAGE to which pastor responded I will 'reply him too PRIVATELY'.
Perhaps poster could shed more light on the source.

@flyboy zee, Ur post reflects effects of low level of education in ur areas, look here i served in bayelsa as a corper, is hardly to find a graduate 4rm ur undeveloped communities, if u ar really educated enof & civilised to some extent how could a president with unconfirmed Phd kneeling down infront of a pastor, mr slowpoke av u ever seen other knowlegeable presidents of other countries behaving irrationally like dis drunkard fisherman?

Like a baby sulkin-g up to his/her mother's breast milk running a country.He looks lost,helpless and misinformed,same are all socalled nigerian elites.Baby elders.

This picture isn't recent- It was at the Holy ghost congress in December 2010. I don't think there's anything bad in him kneeling down to be prayed for by someone he prceives as his spiritual leader. Because he has a Phd doesn't mean he no longer needs prayers. The last time I checked even Pst. Adeboye has a Phd, so?

Adeboye would have helped nigerians better with his mathematical knowledge than his delusional knowledge of conning and deceiving the people.

Mathematics is the key to life,not religion.

@ LeemaK,
I'm just surprised at your response to flyboy zee's comment. Go back and properly analyse your gramma before attacking anyone again on this forum. I don't think anyone here can compare his gramma with yours especially based on your claim of being a graduate with distinction in Use of English. Just an advise.

Sorry, I dont stay around where "ELDERS & LEADERS" are talked to irrationally!

out of here fast

Another rumour monger/ tribalist on the loose, if You‎​ have nothing good τ̅☺ say, just read threads, its still not a crime. Must You‎​ post?

@ Leemark, I wanted to reply U, but after reading D-optimist's post, I see no reason arguing with someone like you. When I read posts from people like you, I weep for my beloved country, Nigeria. It shows your low level of education and apparent waste of school fees that should have been used to buy tuwo masara and miyan kukah for some refugees  in Somalia.

Back to the crux of the Matter: I don't think there is any law or rule forbidding a PhD holder from kneeling down in front of anybody. If you read my previous posts, it may surprise you to know that I am not a religious fanatic. On the other hand, I have a feeling that you would have been much happier if GEJ was kneeling in front of a babalawo, abi?

Secondly: How many times have you read about other nationales bashing their presidents the way you guys do it here on Nairaland, yet you think you are educated. For chrissakes, that man is your President and I guess he is much older than you. Moreover, African traditions demand that you give respect to your elders. Haba! mutunmi ina, ka yankuri mana!

thank GOD the presdent is a man of church, ,

A man is a leader and ruler in his house likewise a woman too. By this statement, we are all leaders in one way or the other. So the dude comment up there is invalid.

@flyboy zee, U tu can confirm dt dis drunkard & retardeen GEJ is behaving irrationally, u dont need to ask us of how many countries hav their president mor abused dan dis shoeless, clueless & idiomatic person dt nigeria is parading as president, look here mr flyboy we wil continue to lambarst dis Opportunist man 4rm ur local area until he start fulfiling his promises as being stated in his campain blueprint, he has really disappointed us. GEJ, a Phd holder in Corruption!

, there are lot of Professors here,
