The general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adeboye has assured the Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai of his continued prayers for the state.
Kaduna state of late had been experiencing serious security challenges, leading to many kidnapping by bandits.
Adeboye who met with the governor at government house in Kaduna on Tuesday said God will fight for him (El-Rufai) to overcome the challenges of banditry and kidnapping in Kaduna.
Both men met few days after the release of eight RCCG members who were abducted in March 26.
Adeboye also noted the problem of insecurity in Nigeria is far beyond the abilities of any human being.
The respectable cleric however said he will be praying for el-Rufai, and assured the governor of God’s intervention.
He added that those who are criticising governor’s handling of the issue now will see the other side of the story by the time God begins “to do what He alone can do”.
Adeboye said: “We know that you have a problem that only God can solve. The problem is far beyond the abilities of any human being. We have known each other for years.
“I know the kind of person you are. I know you are tender-hearted, I know how you definitely must be feeling, particularly when the kidnappings are going on. When they begin to kidnap school children, I know how you must be feeling.”
Adeboye however assured the governor that victory is around the corner.
“We are praying for you and I believe God is going to answer the prayers. I am assuring you sir that the Almighty God is going to fight for you, He is going to fight for Kaduna state, He is going to fight for Nigeria,” he said.
In his response, el-Rufai urged Adeboye not to relent in praying for the nation and particularly Kaduna state to surmount the security challenges, saying Nigeria needs divine intervention to surmount its security problems.
“We also seek your blessings and prayers, as a great man of God, to assist us with the challenges that we are facing here and the country at large.
“This country needs divine intervention more than at any time in its history. So, we are grateful for your prayers, we are grateful for your blessings, and we will continue to ask for more.”
