The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has disclosed that no one is certain about the future of Nigeria and the 2023 elections.
Adeboye made this known during the church monthly first Sunday telecast, questioning why politicians have started making preparations for the 2023 elections. He noted that the future belongs to God.
The clergyman who spoke on the topic ‘The Great Expectations’ asked why anyone would say their ambition is to become the president when the individual is unsure about tomorrow or the continued existence of the country.
“This is 2021, some people are already getting ready to kill themselves over 2023. They don’t even know whether there will be 2023, they don’t even know whether they will still be around. There is nobody here who can say for sure that he will still be around by tomorrow. It is God who determines who will still be around by 2023.
“Someone said to me, sir, who do you think will be president in 2023, I said the president of where? He said the president of Nigeria. How are you sure there will be Nigeria in 2023? How are you sure? Can you swear? I pray there will be Nigeria, so you don’t misquote me. But are you sure?” he added.
Adeboye said his expectation would be to see many members of his church in heaven, while hoping that a section would be earmarked for them.
“My greatest expectation is that I will see you in heaven. The members of Redeemed will occupy a particular section that the angel will say you tried. Without holiness, there is no Heaven. Which Heaven are you going to?”
The general overseer explained that having lost a family member, he has a clearer picture of wihat it is to mourn. While he prayed for those who are currently under the rubble of the 21-storey building that collapsed in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State last Monday and also prayed for the bereaved families.
“It is easy to say you will see the person again because I have tasted it. I have the experience,” he added.
