The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, has pointed out that the fact Nigeria is still united till date is a sign of a very big miracle.
The cleric made this disclosure while speaking at the 2022 International Youth Convention of the church, expressing that it shows God still answers prayers in regard to the country.
Adeboye said, ‘I will tell you the truth: That Nigeria is still one up till this moment is a sign of a miracle, it shows God still answers prayers.’

He went on to add that; ‘But if you want something and you haven’t got it yet, you will pray more. After all, He (God) said “pray till your joy be full, whether you believe it or not, one day, and I believe it won’t be long, our joy will be full.’
Africa Today News, New York had last week reported that Adeboye had decried the state of insecurity in the country, stressing that Nigeria is at war and that no one is safe.
In a sermon on Sunday at the Ebute-Metta, Lagos headquarters of the Church, the cleric who spoke on the topic ‘Perfect Peace in the Land’ stated that insecurity had gone from bad to worse, such that even kings were no longer safe as kidnappers now invade palaces to kidnap monarchs.
He pointed out that the atrocities in the land might continue until citizens return to God and pray for His reign over the country.
He also spoke against the rise in the price of food and the cost of living.
He, however, tasked Nigerians to pray for good leadership and for the land to experience peace.
‘A whole nation can be in a storm. If a governor cannot go to his farm and feel safe, despite the security guards, he has to thank God that he returned safely, despite the bodyguard. For that matter, a governor. When we talk about security, the governor should be secured. When a governor utters such a statement, then you know the situation we are in.’
‘As young as I am, I remember a time when the king was coming. Unless you are one of the very special people, you have to move out of the way. But things are different now. Kidnappers can go to the palace and kidnap the king. Don’t let anybody deceive you; we are in a war.’
Turning to scriptures, Adeboye said: ‘He said in His word that if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and heal their land.
‘We need to keep praying for our leaders. The hearts of kings and rulers are in the hand of God. We need to pray to God to touch their hearts so that we can enjoy ourselves. It doesn’t matter how much they are selling bread, there will always be bread in Aso Rock, and irrespective of the epileptic power supply, Aso Rock will always have light.
‘Why we are not enjoying is because we refuse to do our duty. If you say the wicked are ruling, why not pray that God should touch their hearts? We need to pray that God should lead our leaders right,’ he said.
Adeboye prayed that all the enemies of Nigeria would be defeated so that the people could have peace from the controller of storms.
