General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God,Enoch Adeboye, on Sunday, July 5 urged members of the public to join him in praying for the Nigerian Police Force.
Punch reports that Pastor Adeboye made the call following the bombing carried out on Redeemed Church in Potiskum, Yobe State.
Daddy G.O. as he's fondly called, spoke to Nigerians via a message posted on his official Twitter page, adding that “safety is of the Lord.”
A female suicide bomber on Sunday, July 5 detonated explosives strapped to her body during a service at a RCCG in Yobe.
The explosion reportedly killed five worshipers, including a pastor of the church. It is the latest in the series of bombings allegedly carried out by Boko Haram in its renewed campaign in North-East.
Adeboye, specifically, asked God to protect officers of the force, give them wisdom and help them to fear Him. He noted that the police could only protect Nigerians when they, in turn, were protected.
He wrote, “Father, please give the NPF the fear of God so that they can know the meaning of wisdom.”
Adeboye said the police and other armed forces needed the help of God to discharge their mandate to the country.
He also urged Nigerians to be cautious of the fact that they would not leave the earth with anything when they died. This, he said, should guide them in their day-to-day relationship with one another.
“Don’t live this life like you are not going to leave again. Remember you brought nothing into this world and, I promise you, you are taking nothing out,” he tweeted.
He said those who pleased God could have their number of days on earth prolonged, but stressed that everybody would eventually die – a reason, he said, people should shun evil.
