RCCG General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye says Nigeria needs urgent spiritual help to reduce the persistent economic crisis.
During his visit to Kaduna State governor Uba Sani, Adeboye disclosed that the first time he was in Kaduna, he came to pray for some of his members who were once kidnapped. He said coming the second time has proven to him that the throbbing issues in Nigeria are more spiritual than political.
He said Nigeria needs divine help because only God can solve all problems. He stated that though we are blessed as a nation, we need to tackle issues spiritually when all efforts have failed. Adeboye said we need to keep the hope alive as Nigerians by encouraging people especially the youth from doing unthinkable things or running out of the country. He said the number of people who have committed suicide these past weeks has increased so we have to keep on assuring ourselves that God is on the throne and he will not forsake our nation.
He said, "I have come again this time around because it has become more and more clearer to us that the problem our nation is facing is more than political. Our problems will require 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.
And 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, you call on the Almighty. The reason we call Him Almighty is because He has the power to solve all problems.
When they lose hope, they do all kinds of strange things; many of our youths for example, are running out of the country, forgetting that those countries they are running to, also have their problems, and then those who cannot run anywhere, we don’t want a situation where people begin to think of taking their own lives.
We have had quite a few examples of people driving in Lagos to the long bridge and jumping into the lagoons. Those of them that were rescued before they drowned said they couldn’t see a future, but we keep on assuring them God is on His throne and he is not going to forsake our nation."
