The founder of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare has revealed
that God instructed him not to serve in the current administration in its first
two years.
Bakare, who was the running mate to President Muhammadu Buhari in the
2011 general election, also added that several of his church members were
mounting pressure on him to join the current administration.
Speaking to his church members in preparation for 2017, Bakare said it
was best to follow God’s instruction in a bid to achieve peace.
He thereafter urged government
officials “to come back to God” so as to achieve sustainable development in the
country.
He said: “Are you not glad you serve a God who can say come up here and I
would show you the things that would happen in the hereafter?”
“Here we are today, almost two years into this administration. Many of
you were putting pressure on me. Even a retired inspector-general of police
wrote to me, he said; ‘Pastor, if you have only served in this government,
maybe it would not be like this’.
“And I said to him, ‘God said to me, don’t touch it for the first two
years. Don’t go near it, just be praying for them and be watching, and be
monitoring the things that are happening’.
“God knows where you should go, when you should go, so stop going
aimlessly about. As many as are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God.”
The cleric further added that he would address national issues during his
state-of-the-nation address scheduled for Sunday.
