The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has described Nigeria’s continued existence as a miracle, attributing the country’s survival to the power of prayers. In a video clip from one of the church’s programs, recently viewed by PathwayNews, Pastor Adeboye shared insights into how divine intervention has played a pivotal role in keeping the nation intact, despite the numerous challenges it has faced.
Pastor Adeboye, a revered figure in Nigeria’s Christian community, recounted a conversation with an unnamed senior Muslim figure. According to Adeboye, this individual acknowledged the significance of prayers in sustaining the country, stating that Nigeria might not still exist if not for the intercession of people like Pastor Adeboye and others who pray for the nation.
“He said to me, if people like you have not been praying, there would be no Nigeria today,” Adeboye explained in the video.
The cleric’s remarks underscore the deep spiritual belief shared by many Nigerians, that the nation’s unity and survival amid economic, political, and social unrest can be attributed to divine grace. Over the years, Nigeria has grappled with issues such as ethnic tensions, insecurity, corruption, and economic instability, leading many to question its long-term viability as a united country. However, religious leaders like Adeboye remain steadfast in their belief that God’s intervention has kept the country together.
For Pastor Adeboye, prayer remains a vital lifeline, not only for personal spiritual growth but also for the nation as a whole. The RCCG leader, whose influence extends beyond Nigeria to a global audience, continues to lead prayer sessions for the country’s peace, unity, and prosperity.
Adeboye’s comments resonate with many Nigerians who see their faith as a crucial element in navigating the country’s turbulent times. His statement also reflects the broader belief in Nigeria that religious leaders, both Christian and Muslim, play an influential role in shaping the spiritual and social fabric of the nation.

His assertion that prayer is sustaining the country offers hope to millions who believe in the power of divine intervention to guide Nigeria through its trials.
As Nigeria continues to confront its challenges, the role of prayer, faith, and spiritual leadership remains central to the national discourse. Pastor Adeboye’s words serve as a reminder to many that, despite the difficulties, Nigeria’s continued unity could be seen as nothing short of a miracle.
