General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adeboye has said that the country is in a war situation following recent happenings in the country.

Adeboye who preached a sermon titled ‘Perfect peace in the land’ on Sunday October 2, said peace is the absence of war.

The cleric, who asked his congregants to stop criticising their leaders and pray for them instead, added that gone are the days when traditional rulers were deified and respected.

He said;

“In the olden days, except you are one of the special people, they don’t allow the king’s dress to touch you. But thank God.

“Now kidnappers can go to the palace to kidnap the king. We are in a war situation, let no one deceive you.

“What kings, soldiers can’t do, the Almighty God will do for you.

“Pray for the rulers, we have spent so much time criticising them. You should pray for them. I’m praying for them, I pray you will join me to pray.”
