Daddy Freeze replies Adeboye, says Nigerians shouldn't pray for unmerited favour

Controversial Nigerian OAP Daddy Freeze has advised Nigerians to stop praying for unmerited favour or other people's blessings to be given to them.

This is coming after Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God shared how God intervened when he and his poor uncle were starving on a particular day in 1956.

Pastor Adeboye said a young girl brought food for his uncle and claimed that his sister asked her to deliver it to the cleric's uncle.

According to Pastor Adeboye, he and his uncle had already finished the food before the girl came back to say it was meant for someone else.

After sharing the story, the cleric prayed for his followers that God would send them miracle they don't deserve.

In his response, Daddy Freeze wrote: "Nigeria's poverty and leadership crises is entirely based on the buffoonery of unmerited favor.

"Stop praying for unmerited favor, or for the blessings of other people to be given to you. Instead, pray that those who are deserving should be in places of authority.

"If we all adopt this mindset, we won't need to pray against bad governance in the future."

Pastor Adeboye said he was among the young people of the world by virtue of being a child of God.

The 78-year-old clergyman made the statement while announcing the date for his church's 2020 annual youth convention via his Twitter page.
