One of the main reasons why Nigeria continues to face problems is because the power of the kings have been tampered with, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said.
Adeboye, spoke on Sunday at the evening session of the 40th Holy Ghost Convention of The Sword of The Spirit a.k.a Christ Life Church, with the theme, ‘The King of Glory,’ held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan.
The cleric, who described God as the ultimate king, said that the authority of the king or their position should not be undermined.
He said, “That is why in Yoruba land we call them Alashe; those one who rule by decree.
“Just like what Almighty God did in Genesis Chapter one verse three, And God said let there be light and immediately there was light.
“He is the one who will do what He wants and nobody can query him. In Yoruba land we call the kings kabiyesi.
“The reason we have some of the problems we have in our country today is because they had tampered with the power of our kings.
“If we restore the dignity, the ability and glory of our kings, all will be well. Almighty God is the one who rules by decree and you cannot query Him.”
In his address of welcome to the Convention, Bishop Wale Oke, President, SOTSM, described the occasion as a landmark, saying, “It is a Convention with a difference. About forty years ago, the maiden edition held in the City of Ibadan. Since then, it had become a platform of the move of God, providing believers of all denominations opportunities to be blessed, empowered and to enjoy rich fellowship.
“Countless souls have been saved, many people have been healed, delivered and restored. Many have possessed their inheritances and entered into their glorious destinies. Our God shall do it again.”
He urged those who graced the occasion to be sensitive in the Holy Spirit and be prepared to move to a higher realm of glory, saying that God would ignite a fresh wave of revival to bless and transform the nation and its people.
