Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has urged members of his church to get their PVC ready and prepare to vote for their choice leader as God directs them, while saying that God has not yet told him or anyone who the winner of the election will be.
The General Overseer said this during the church’s first Holy Ghost Service of the year.
In his words, Pastor Abdeboye said: “Prophecies are good, particularly if they come from God. There are some funny people in Nigeria who call themselves prophets. They don’t even know the meaning of prophecies. I’m not a prophet but I know how the way God speaks because he talks to me once in a while; I’m a pastor I’m satisfied with that office.
“But when somebody says he’s prophesying, and he says three people are contesting for a post, that if the first person wins, there will be plenty of food, if the second win, there will be plenty to drink and if the third win there will be a lot to wear, this is not prophecy, that is conjecture.
He furthered, “Let me tell you one thing. This is for your ears only. Anyone who is prophesying now, telling you this is the fellow who will win, is deceiving you.
“You know why? Daddy has not spoken yet. He hasn’t said anything. So, if you say somebody released a prophecy, saying somebody from this place is the [winner], na lie o.
“How can I tell you what He hasn’t told me?” Adeboye questioned rhetorically, adding “you want me to lie to you?”
He, however, charged members of the church gathered at the old auditorium of the RCCG located along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway to get their permanent voter’s cards (PVCs) ready for the elections.
“Get your PVC ready. If He doesn’t say anything, when it is time to vote, vote as the Spirit of God would direct you. If He tells me, well, I may tell you; I may not.
“That is why you must let Him come into you so you can hear from Him directly and nobody would be able to deceive you anymore,” he concluded.
