Nigerians have been alerted about the dangers of fire outbreaks throughout the nation by Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, or RCCG.
Adeboye gave the warning while preaching at the church’s February Thanksgiving service at the Throne of Grace Parish, Ebute-Metta, Lagos.
The clergy called for vigilance and prayer in the face of potential disasters, including storms and floods.
“I must share something very urgent,” Adeboye said.
“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.”
Adeboye specifically warned farmers preparing their lands for cultivation to avoid bush burning.
“Don’t joke with any form of naked fire around you,” he stressed.
“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,” he said.
