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.
