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.
