The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said the economic problems and the security challenges Nigeria is faced with, require a spiritual solution.
Adeboye said this on Sunday when he met the Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House, Kaduna, the state capital.
Adeboye told the Kaduna governor that he was in the state to offer prayers for the country. He affirmed his trust in God to fix the problems in Nigeria.
He said, “I am delighted to be here again. I was here about two years ago with the former governor. At that time, I came to pray for some of my members who were kidnapped and were miraculously rescued. I came to encourage their families to let them know that all will be well.
“I have come again this time around because it has become more clearer to us that the problems our nation is facing is more than political. Our problems will require quite a bit of spiritual solution.
“We as a country are blessed. We are blessed with people with great intelligence. We are blessed with all manners of resources and yet we have so many problems.
“It is not as if people in authority are not trying their best. They are doing as much as humanly possible and then we found out that when you have problems that are beyond human ability to solve them, you call on the Almighty. The reason we call Him Almighty is because He has the power to solve all problems.
“So, we have been going round in our own little ways to support the efforts of all the various governments and parastatals to call on the Almighty to come to our aid because we need help. We need help and we need it urgently.”
In his remarks, Governor Sani said: “We also believe that from the remarks you made just now that our country at this critical time requires intervention from people like you who are tested and who have in the past intervened and helped us to find solutions to our problems.
“We believe you won’t be tired. We also need an intervention at this critical time.
“Many Nigerians are loosing hope and they have been very cautious about the future but like I said, we are going through difficulties because of what happened in the past and right now we have a President who is determined and focused and ready to take the country to a greater height and I have no doubt, with your intervention and prayers, our President will certainly get it right.
“So far, Mr President has taken some very important steps towards moving our country forward but most of these steps are things that might be difficult at this critical time because they are major reforms we need; both economic reforms, as well as social reforms”.
