Curiously, Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly has for the first time in his life acknowledged a Nigerian leader his president. He disclosed this on Sunday during a worship service tagged: Moving from privilege to purpose, in Lagos.

According to Pastor Bakare, “I envision that Nigeria’s baptism has begun, the process as started that he who is going to lead us will serve us. God is going to give us servant leaders who are going to turn down and will reverse the injustices of the past. This one is my president; this is the first time in life that I have ever used that word in my life.”

“This is one is my president, I respect the office and I respect the person I want to bring this message to a close by praying for my president. It is not possible for me to say everything,” Bakare declared.

The pastor said: “He didn’t contest for election, they contested for him, he didn’t look for it, they called him, look at all the reversal he has carried out. VAT reversed, sale of our refineries, withholding of Lagos state local government money released, almost everything the man did to put us in bondage he came and said how should these be done?”

“Why is Lagos State like this? This should be a mega city, it should compete with other cities of the world. What can we do about this. His first visit was not to Kaduna, he has been in Lagos twice, he wanted to get things done, there is more to reverse,” he revealed.
Bakare declared that no political party will dictate to Yar’Adua, adding that, “no BOT will have power over the president of Nigeria, no BOT had power over OBJ, why does he want BOT now?”

He declared that “Nigeria, this is your time of deliverance, PDP proposes God now disposes, they have looked for a man who will cover their back, but this one will expose everybody. When the president’s father was in NPC, the government of the late Sadauna, this young man went and joined Aminu Kano PRP, he just had been like that, it was a set up, they didn’t know.”

The fiery pastor further said: “The former president held Lagos to ransom, the Supreme Court passed judgement, he disregarded it, he respected no one, Yar’Adua came and asked what exactly the problem is and ordered that it be released immediately.”
He explained that, “now, that this man is redressing past injustice, what is happening in the South-South. What can we do for Alamieyeseigha, he did bad but let him go home and recover, take what he has stolen.”

He thereafter asked the church to pray that no corrupt public officer including former President Obasanjo escapes, since they have started now with smaller thieves. He challenged the former president saying: “We know how much you are before you became head of state, you have to give account of how much you are worth now and how you came by it.”

Justifying the election of Yar’Adua, Bakare said, “he came on, more or less a stolen ticket but he will change everything. Do not say he is not born again. Pharaoh was not born again before God began to show him dreams and vision of what is about to happen, Nebuchadnezzar has to declare there is no God like this, therefore God will reveal Himself to him as he makes decision on any issue.

“Whenever God wants to punish a nation, He gives them the likes of OBJ, he was divine punishment first for the church that was totally gullible that embraced an occultist who pretend to be a saint and then for the nation itself that was why I told you in his last days there will be an epitaph upon his administration and what did I call it ‘a poor man who oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain that leaves no food’.”

“We have had many beast and basest of men rule us but I think we are coming out of the darkness into His light. We are changing now and about to come out of the tunnel to see servant leadership in Nigeria. Do you know he has counseled him not to declare his asset, but he still declared it, do you know his daughter got married to a governor in this country and I didn’t even know until I saw it in newspapers,” Bakare asked.

He instituted a permanent prayer point for the president saying: “I make it a law in this house that at every prayer hour you must begin by praying for President Yar’Adua, saying “God bless Yar’Adua” he is my president not your former president.”

“I do not know the condition of the health of the president today, but I stand between the pot and the altar just as the faith of Moses, parents kept Moses alive when he should have died like others killed by Pharaoh, in the name of Jesus we release our faith in the complete work of Jesus on the cross of Calvary, for the healing, salvation and deliverance of our president,” he blessed the president.


COMMENT:

How do you see the caption or heading from the contents or the context?
My brother, don’t be a free reader that only picks the caption on newspaper without reading the contents. You might likely end-up spreading false news thinking you got it.
My brother, journalists have a way of attracting your attention is called CAPTION. Sometime the heading or the headline will be quite different from the content as you can observe from this write-up. How do I mean? Because, prior to these statements he said thus “I want to make a confession and don’t always think that a confession is for something bad only. Remember this has being our mindset. Now the confession. I have voted only once in my life and that was 1979 election but I was disappointed by the statement made by the then Head-of state Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo that the best candidate might not win, and since then I have fought all the former Head of state because of the way they conduct themselves while the office but the current President any time I want to pray for the president it is only blessing that always comes out of his mouth. Before mentioning the positive actions the President has taken.

As for the religious bigotry SEUN, God use the most common things of this world to perform his works. You know why? So that the glory will come to him only. Please religion will not take you any where, grow up my brother.

In order not to be like the three miserable friend of Job in the bible, please read the content or context and not the caption.
Finally, like lawyers would say “for you to convict and accused person, the fact rely upon must be proven beyond reasonable doubt, and the fact must be consistence with the guilty of the accused person and they must not be consistence with any irrational conclusion.

Thanks, may God help us to think reasonable and not to use our mouth any how as not provoke damnation onto ourselves.
