Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by sandra123: 9:56am On Feb 04, 2011 |
Pastor Bakare told PM News this morning that God had a hand in his decision to join politics and become a running mate to Buhari, quoting Psalm 78: 70, 71 to back up his claims. Psalm 78:70,71 reads: “He (God) chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: from following the ewes great with young, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.” Bakare also quoted Romans 13:1, which says “…For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God, to further back up his claims. With this the cleric said any power that be were ordained by God and that people were just being sentimental about his decision to contest as running mate to Buhari, adding that like God took David from being a shepherd to become king, he also could go higher. “A shepherd can transit from pasturing a church to ruling a nation. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. There is no authority not ordained by God,” he said. When asked that Jesus Christ rejected the position of being a king when the Israelites wanted to make him one and that he should emulate the example of Christ, Bakare said Christ rejected that because he had a mission to die for the whole world. “Christ came for a purpose and he even said my kingdom is not of this world,” he said, saying that should not be misconstrued for Christians not to go into politics. “I did not accept the offer to be Buhari’s running mate because of fame and popularity; I already have that. I took it because I want to serve my generation according to the will of God and to change things. “I did not lobby for the position but when Buhari called, I accepted the offer. I consulted with those who mattered and with top echelons in christendom and they gave me the go ahead. We want to change Nigeria perpetually,” he stated. http://www.cp-africa.com/2011/02/04/pastor-bakare-god-told-run-buhari/ |

God told him to run with Buhari and so what? Did he tell you that God told him they will win? Wake up from you stupor? When you sing 'If you can use anything Lord, you can use me, ' Now God is ready to use him you are shouting. I think we should not assume and conclude what he did not say. There is difference between winning and contesting. When he led SNG to bring Jonathan on, he heard God well. Now, he wants to go and you are mudslinging him. Human Being, Omo araye lee |

Ujujoan: Who told you he will lose, God did not tell GEJ to contest for the Presidency the US did (according to wikileaks) If Bakare/Buhari lose then it is because the Alliance between God and Allah has collapsed Insha God We will win |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by Nobody: 12:33pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
I dnt see why people are appalled by this development. Ive neva seen Bakare as a pastor. He's just a politician working by appealing to people's emotions. |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by SkyBlue1: 12:43pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Ujujoan: Yes I am still confused. Don't quote paraphrase, show us where he actually said "God told me to run with Buhari". I am still searching for it. Read a similar article a few days ago and could not see where the man said God told him to run with Buhari. I rather see it from the horses mouth than read it in the paraphrase of an overzealous journalist. Here is a link to the actual interview, please draw our attention to where Bakare said God told him to run with Buhari cos I might have missed it (quite plausible). http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2011/02/01/bakare-god-told-me-to-run-with-buhari/ |

confusion, |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by Nobody: 12:48pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Sky Blue: This is not 'paraphrasing' . . . this is a general interpretation of his statement. He (Bakare) said cannot deny not insisting to have gotten God's permission before running from the comments he made! The man is phony abeg . . and the fact that he's using God's name to further his political ambition will land him in serious trouble! I pity him! |

Troynow: seconded! He seems more of a "political pastor" maybe that is his own campaign strategy and or lead to popularity. I remember when he said OBJ would die, his defence on the ASO ROCK bribe and all other political sermons he has delivered so far, I think he is making headways. Good Bakere to him! not Goodluck! |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by SkyBlue1: 12:50pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Ujujoan: Interpretation according to who? So allowing someone to go out is the same as telling them to go out? Can't you read for yourself and make up your own mind or are you that gullible especially for (of all things) the Nigerian press? I am not going to go into a completely unneccesary back and forth, simply redeem yourself by highlighting where the man said in his speech that God told him to run with Buhari. I have provided you with extra link sef. Or is it so difficult? How much junk news have we read from Nigeria? The headline of the article (which I provided) sayd Bakare claims God told him to run with Buhari, and there is not even one quote to that effect? This goes beyond Bakare, this is simply about press integrity. Please! I can't stand junk press! |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by Nobody: 12:55pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Sky Blue: I could easily quote you saying 'Tunde Bakare did not say God asked him to run' . . . . and I'll be right . . even though you never actually used those words! Just as you can't stand junk press, I can't stand silly arguments! |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by SkyBlue1: 12:57pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Ujujoan: WOW. How hard is this? Show us in the article where Tunde Bakare is quoted as saying God told him to run with Buhari or anything to that effect. Is that so hard a task? I have even provided you a link to the interview (http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2011/02/01/bakare-god-told-me-to-run-with-buhari/) because press associations do share their reports and resources. Please show us where Bakare said God told him to run with Buhari. |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by Nobody: 1:03pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Sky Blue: Wow! How hard is it for you to use your brain |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by SkyBlue1: 1:04pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Ujujoan: So you can't show us where Bakare said God told him to run with Buhari, but we are to believe it just for the sake of it? Case closed. |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by angelz(f): 1:07pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Never c d guy as a pastor 2, more like a politician in pastor's garb. l know they can neva win. lf he had run with d likes of Ribadu, dia's a possibility. |

Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by Nsiman(m): 1:21pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
So the book of psalms and Romans were directed at Bakare abi? quoting the bible out of context |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by larimo(m): 1:24pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
seanet02: Thats the speciality of . They always mislead people with their captions, like most media houses I guess, for the sake of money. |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by blacksta(m): 1:26pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Interesting I am not sure about this one . posterity will tell. |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by larimo(m): 1:28pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
People, Is there anything wrong in someone desiring to serve his nation when the opportunity beckons? If I desire to give my neighbour a piece of bread to help him, so you are saying I should wait upon God before I do so? God has given us His spirit to guide us. God may not have spoken plainly to him that he should contest and will be vice-president but it doesnt mean he cannot contest. God's ways arent like ours. He may fail at the elections but through his acts, God maybe planning something greater for Nigerians and Christianity too. |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by Nsiman(m): 1:32pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Why didn't God ask him to run as president to fix thing the way He (God) wants but rather ask him to be a V.P? |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by Nobody: 1:39pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Sky Blue: Just when I thought you couldn't get anymore annoying . . . you went and proved me wrong! Nsiman: Don't mind him . . . I wonder what impact 'God' thinks he can make as a V.P in a country where they are nothing more than a ceremonial head. Except 'God' is planning to kill Buhari if the win! |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by hbrednic: 1:42pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Bakare do your own thing,but just leave God out of this mess He is a jealous God and will consume those who use his name in vain.be forewarned |

Bakare :: "God wanted me to run, not to win but lose" |
Re: Pastor Bakare: God Told Me To Run With Buhari by ayubam: 2:02pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Nsiman: You can as well ask why God did not make Joseph a Pharao instead of prime minister as well as Daniel a King in babylon instead of minister. Arrogant children who lack common sense, Keep on suffering, |

totorimi: Which business have you ever started that succeed like his? Don't you want to make money like him? The Guy started Pastoring a church at your age o and you cannot boast of owning a successful business like his, Since we are all looking for money, start your own church and let's see how successful you can be, You better go and work hard and make something good at of your life, else poverty will pounce on you like ,, |
