The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has urged Nigerians to take precautionary measures against fire outbreaks across the country.
Speaking during the church’s February thanksgiving service at the Throne of Grace Parish, Ebute-Metta, Lagos, Pastor Adeboye emphasized the need for vigilance and prayer in the face of potential disasters, including storms and floods.
“I must share something very urgent,” Pastor Adeboye stated. “At the beginning of this year, one of the prophecies was to pray against fire outbreaks, storms, and floods. We’ve only spent one month, and we’ve already seen the rate of fire incidents across the world. Nigeria is part of the world, and we must be prayerful.”
The cleric specifically advised farmers preparing their land for cultivation to avoid bush burning, stressing that carelessness could lead to devastating consequences.
“Don’t joke with any form of naked fire around you,” he warned. “And farmers, please don’t burn bushes while preparing your farms. Don’t say I didn’t tell you. May the Almighty God answer our prayers and grant our requests.”
Delivering a sermon titled The Covenant-Keeping God, Pastor Adeboye reminded the congregation that obedience to God’s covenant ensures His faithfulness and blessings.
“If you obey and keep God’s covenant, He will make you His peculiar treasure,” Adeboye said, citing biblical examples of individuals who experienced divine favor through obedience.
