Adeboye tasks Nigerians on unrelented prayers for mercy

• Says wind exposing corruption will continue • We must stop mediocrity to solve Nigeria's woes, Adeoye restates

THE General Overseer, The Redeemed Christian Church ( RCCG) Worldwide, Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has urged Nigerians not to relent in their prayers for God's continual mercy on the country.

He said that the wind currently blowing in Nigeria, which is exposing some level of corruption, could not be stopped, but would certainly continue.

Adeboye, who spoke, yesterday, at the RCCG Headquarters, The Throne of Grace, Ebute- Metta, during the monthly thanksgiving service on the topic, "When the wind blows," also prayed for businessmen and women, professionals, traders, market men and women, artisans and their families.

He said that with the level of the unstoppable wind blowing in Nigeria, it behooves those that have any hidden secret or skeleton in their cupboards to do something about it before it is too late.

He, therefore, urged Nigerians to continue to pray for God’s mercy.

The General Overseer gave the assurance that there would be solace at the end of the day, but Nigerians need to seek the face of the Lord for the wind of mercy and favour to blow on Nigeria. R

ELATEDLY, Nigerians have been urged to elect leaders with the best brains, highly intelligent, and upright people to end the emergence of the worst people in positions of power.

A lawyer and chartered accountant, Dr Gbenga Adeoye, who gave the advice yesterday, in the face of the current hardship in the country, said too many people in positions of leadership in Nigeria and the entire continent fall below acceptable standards.

"If you do a list of the best brains, highly intelligent people, upright men and women, you find out that they are very few in government and that must change if we are serious about the development of the African Continent. In fact, among many leaders, all you see are sycophants.”
