‘Beware of day of reckoning’, Adeboye warns politicians

General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Worldwide, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has warned leaders, especially those in politics, to use their privileged positions to rewrite the story of the country for the better.

 

He admonished them to understand that God is keeping records of all they do and that the Almighty will visit them one day when He opens His book of remembrance.

 

The cleric, who spoke yesterday during the month-end’s thanksgiving service at the RCCG Headquarters, The Throne of Grace, in Ebute Metta, Lagos, premised his admonition on: Divine Remembrance.

 

He said when God remembers any human being for their bad, the consequence is always grave.

 

Adeboye, who also spoke through the Assistant General Overseer (Admin & Personnel) who doubles as Continental Overseer, East Africa 3, Pastor Johnson Odesola, stressed that the situation in the country today is so bad.

 

The cleric said corruption, lying, love for money, shedding of innocent blood, determination to get whatever leaders want at all cost, not minding whose ox is gored, loss of conscience by leaders, stealing and other vices, have become commonplace across the country.

 

He queried: If God were to remember Nigeria and its leaders and wished to pay the country back and its leaders, what would the leaders expect?

 

Adeboye reminded the nation’s leaders about two crucial areas where they have failed: leading without the interest of the people at heart and misappropriating the commonwealth to themselves.

 

The cleric expressed sadness that the nation’s leaders live as if they would remain on earth forever.

 

He urged the leaders to listen and understand that God is taking stock of everything they do and will one day open His book of records to judge them.

 

Adeboye decried the rising spate of insecurity in the land while leaders struggle for positions of power ahead of the 2023 general election.

 

“I believe that if Nigerians and the leaders alike would have the Day of Remembrance at heart and put this to bear in all they do, we would have a country where tribe or nationality will not matter in selecting leaders across all levels of governance but competence, accountability, integrity and good character,” he said.
