The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, E.A. Adeboye on Sunday, revealed his conversation with someone who wanted his prediction on who would succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Pastor Adeboye who was delivering the sermon during the monthly Thanksgiving Sunday at the church’s National Headquarters, Ebute Meta, Lagos State, said some Nigerians were already planning to win political elections in 2023.
The cleric highlighted the vanity of chasing a future not guaranteed, noting that those chasing political posts in 2023 failed to consider whether the country would still remain as Nigeria at the time.
He said, “Someone asked me, who do you think is going to be President in 2023 and I said President of where? He said Nigeria. I said how are you sure there will be Nigeria in 2023. I pray there will be, so don’t misquote me but are you sure?
“Jeremiah 45:5, 2 Chronicles 26:3-22. Some people want fame, they want power – political power. This is 2021 some people are already getting ready to kill themselves over 2023.
“They don’t even know whether there will be 2023. If there is 2023, whether they will still be around. There is nobody who can say for sure that they will still be around tomorrow. It is God who decides who will be around in 2023”.
