Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General
Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, on Friday visited Benue
State and prayed for God’s intervention in the ongoing killings in the State.
The cleric led a cross-section of
Benue people to pray for the state, assuring that God would take up the battle
and put an end to killings everywhere in Nigeria.
“We will call on God to fight
this battle that we cannot fight. I’m here to pray for the state that the
helper of the helpless will fight our battle.
“We will ask God to arise and put
an end to this bloodshed. Let there be peace in Nigeria as a whole. There will
be no more bloodshed in Nigeria,” he said.
He said that in accordance with
the Holy Bible, that the horse is prepared for the day of battle but safety is
of the Lord as he stressed that men can hide from men but no one could hide
from God.
According to him, “Men can be
corrupted, they can decide to do what is not 100 percent correct with the
assistance of others but there is no way you can compromise the holiness of
God. He is a Holy God, he created us all. And I know when we call on him to
intervene, what is impossible for man is possible for God.”
While condoling with the governor
and people of the state over loss of lives, he said his family and the entire
church had continued to weep for Benue everyday since the killings began on New
Year Day.
“We have felt every pain you have
felt. We have wept when we saw you weeping. As a matter of fact, there is no
way a man of God will not feel the pain when he sees mass burial anywhere. Some
of those people are our children and some are not yet converted, so we suffer
double loss. When somebody is dead, you can’t convert that person. That is why
we want these killings to stop. The Almighty God who doesn’t play, pranks or
compromise can stop it,” the RCCG overseer posited.
