The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has emphasised the need to maintain national unity and indivisibility of the Nation as the nation marks her 64th independence anniversary.
Represented by the Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Administration, Pastor Oladele Balogun, the cleric spoke on Monday in Lagos during a press conference titled, “Special independence day prayer and celebration service” heralding the Independence Day service on October 6, 2024.
The service is scheduled to hold on October 6, 2024.
Adeboye remarked, “As we prepare to celebrate our independence, we must reaffirm our commitment to national unity and cohesion. We need to consciously recognize that our diversity is our strength, and our differences are what make us unique. We must therefore continue to work together, hand in hand, to build a brighter future for all.”
While the cleric called on Nigerians to offer prayer for current and future leaders, he noted that the current pervasive insecurity challenges bedeviling the country and the declining global economy call for “fervent corporate prayers” by all well-meaning citizens and residents in Nigeria.
The RCCG General Overseer believed that “No matter how innovative a recovery plan may be, be it locally conceived or globally prescribed, only God, the Almighty, can bring about transformational turn around. The state of the nation as well as prevailing global economy is quite challenging but with God all things are possible, hence, our confidence that through divine wisdom, God is able to turn around the seemingly hopeless situation into a glorious phenomenon.”
The cleric added, “As we pray for our present leaders in government, we must also pray for students.”
According to him, beyond offering dedicated prayers for Nigeria and government functionaries on independence service day, he has equally promised to have a prayer session for the future leaders, students in higher institutions.
“Through corporate prayer, we will recommit ourselves to the values of freedom, justice, and equality that our nation was founded upon. We trust God to ignite the change we wish to see in our world, beginning from our nation. God will set us on the path towards a brighter future, where every citizen can live with dignity, purpose, and hope,” Adeboye said.
