GENERAL Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG,
Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye yesterday cautioned Nigerian political leaders to
learn from disasters of 2012 and take precaution soonest to avert bigger ones.
Releasing his annual prophesies for the year 2013 at a cross over
service to usher worshippers into the New Year at the Redemption Camp, he
explained that there could be more devastating natural disasters like flood if
necessary precautionary measures are not taken soonest to avert such
calamities.
Describing the New Year as a year of signs and wonders, he said
generally, God says this year will be better than last year.
According to Pastor Adeboye before the middle of the year, many
Nigerians will have reason to say hope rising, adding however, that prayers and
supplication be intensified .
He told the crowd of worshippers that God spared the lives of
certain individuals in the country last year because of intercessory prayers of
the saints, noting “the prayers of some of you minimized death of prominent
Nigerians last year, don’t stop praying.”
Speaking on the prophecies for individual Nigerians, Pastor
Adeboye said, “No matter the darkness around you, your star will shine
brighter.
“God says, He will speak
peace to your storms; Certain individuals have been stagnated for sometimes,
the reasons for your stagnation will become known, will be addressed and will
be eliminated, therefore progress will follow.”
Continuing on the individual category, Pastor Adeboye said in many
senses of the word, this year will be of completeness.
On the international platform, the cleric said prominent world
leaders need a lot of prayers so as not to die in office.
In addition, he said prominent Church leaders need prayers against
planned scandals, even as he said that weather conditions may get worst, much
worst, unless prayers are intensified.
But there is a cheery news when Adeboye said: “We should expect a
major breakthrough in medicine this year,” concluding that nations who pass
unholy laws will have a taste of divine fury.
Earlier in a brief sermon titled; “Preparing for a year of signs
and wonders”, he outlined certain principles to enable one tap into heavenly
reservoir of the miraculous.
According to him, this year will be a better year than the just
ended one, maintaining that the principles must include praise and worship of
God, putting God first before any other consideration; evangelism; control the
fullness of your joy, pointing out that one who is close to God can control
even the weather around him.
Adeboye was very particular about the praise of God as a veritable
tool for signs and wonders, noting that one can pray, study the Bible in
silence but no one can praise God in silence.
The congregation applauded when he said: “You can never praise God
quietly”, stressing that praising Him comes from a heart of gratitude and it’s
not quietly.
“If they say we are crazy for shouting Hallelujah in our
environment and wherever we find ourselves, then that is a good kind of
craziness,” he stated, adding that nobody says thank you to his benefactor with
his mouth closed.
While assuring worshippers that 2013 is a year of doors, Adeboye
said it is one thing to enter into a New Year and it is another to have a brand
new beginning, hence he enjoined every Nigerian to live right with God who only
has the capacity to give of His limitless bounties and guarantee all round
peace and calm every storm in our lives.
