The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, is making headlines following his recent comment during a church program.

Due to the recent economic hardships in the country, Pastor Adeboye, who acknowledged the challenges plaguing the nation, urged Nigerians to call on God when all other avenues seem blocked.

Speaking during a recent sermon at the RCCG headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Adeboye emphasized that God can provide everything anyone needs if they call upon Him.

He said;

“If you need provision, if things are hard and I know things are hard for quite a few of us, call on the one whose name is Jehovah El-Shaddai, the God who is more than enough.

“Call on Him – the one who is more than enough and He will meet your needs…He has many ways, depending on what is your need.

“When all ways are blocked, call on Him who is called the way when you don’t even know what’s going on.”

His remarks come in light of the strike action taken by organized labor to push the government to improve the minimum wage for workers.

While the organized labor is proposing N494,000 as the new minimum wage, the Nigerian government is adamant about paying N60,000.

Although the Labor Union has temporarily called off the strike for five days to engage in discussions with the government.

Nigerians have been sharing their thoughts on social media about his comments.

@OMatarazi: Pastor Adeboye's advice to call on God during tough times is comforting. When we're struggling, turning to Jehovah El-Shaddai, the God who is more than enough, can give us the strength and support we need. While labor unions fight for a fair minimum wage, we should remember that God's help can bring comfort and solutions when other ways are blocked.
Trusting in God's provision can help us get through these hard times with hope and faith.

@Iamlizkid1: One of the biggest problems we have in Nigeria are so call men of God you people just believe so much that God will solve every dam problem. Imagine minimum wage of 30k that can’t stock food for 30 days and people are fighting the FG to increase it to a reasonable amount, but here we are with so called religion leader asking us to pray for it. Like WTF is wrong with you nah? Is it God that will increase it? Instead of using your voice to call government in order you’re using it to mislead your followers.

@iamskamal_: Can this pastors tell the government the truth for once?

@Ishow_leck: At this point you people should not tell us to God, the same God you’ve been asking Nigerians to call on since 1960 up till moment. You’ll tell Nigerians to call God and tell the leaders something else, dine with them, take part of the national cake, ask congress to pay for tithe, buy anointing or water from the church all and yet, nothing changed.. you people should rest a moment please.
