Critics and sentiment aside,
I think first of all, he went there to recognize the presence of an authority higher than his,

OR,.
Do you think this is the way he goes about visiting other churches.

Ditto some Arab leaders, if the article copied in below has any ring of truth in it. I no fit laff. Nigeria's clearly been exporting religion even before it became a country in 1914. grin grin grin

How embattled world leaders sought spiritual help from Adeboye

November 14, 2013







Aside from the tens of thousands of people who throng the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) popularly known as “Redemption Camp” for spiritual rejuvenation, several world leaders also secretly send emissaries to the General Overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye.

It is no news that Nigerian leaders, including incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, politicians, military chiefs and businessmen have at various times visited the redemption camp located along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, African Searchlight can authoritatively reveal that some world leaders had also contacted Adeboye for spiritual help.

African Searchlight gathered that Adeboye told a gathering of christian clerics during a breakfast tete-a-tete at the redemption camp that in the height of the uprising that culminated in the killing of Gaddafi, the Libyan leader attempted to send some of his allies to him for prayers. The sources said the renowned preacher had told them that he got a message that five men from the Gaddafi’s crumbing government were to visit the redemption camp with words from the embattled Libyan leader. Adeboye told the gathering that Gaddafi’s men had planned to come and seek spiritual intervention to save his government. The RRCG leader however told the meeting that the emissaries from Gaddafi never got visas because they were stopped tactically by the Nigerian government. African Searchlight was hinted by sources in security circles that the visit from Libya was punctuated through moves by the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) and the State Security Service (SSS) when they got wind of the proposal. African Searchlight’s investigation discovered that the Nigerian security chiefs through a security report dissuaded the presidency from allowing visits by Gaddafi men at a time when his government was a pariah and already being tackled by the US, UK and France, following the UN resolution that eventually authorised a “No Fly Zone” over Libya. Consequent upon the international diplomacy implications of the situation, the Nigerian embassy in Libya was directed to deny Gaddafi’s emissaries visas to visit the spiritual leader. According to our source, Adeboye himself told the meeting that he was not really keen to receive Gaddafi’s messengers while the man of God also said he prayed over the matter.

Another embattled world leader, British Prime Minister David Cameron Cameron also sent emisaries to Adeboye in the thick of the London riots, African Searchlight investigations uncovered. Adeboye told the visiting clerics that Cameron was pertubed over the London riots degenerating into the likes of the “Arab Spring” uprisings that swept away hitherto powerful leaders like Libya’s Gaddafi, Egypt’s Mubarak and Tunisia’s Ben Ali. According to our sources, the delegation was mandated to ask Adeboye to pray fervently for the London riots that occurred in summer of 2011 not to consume the Cameron administration and indeed the Queen Elizabeth monarchy. Cameron who was enjoying his summer holiday in Italy, had to rush home as the riots spread form London to three other cities. The British PM eventually survived the five days of riots, which cost taxpayers the payment of 100 million pounds to looted businesses and damaged properties.

The latest on the list of world leaders enmeshed in crisis and hoping for a resolution from the redemption camp is President Bashar Hafez al-Assad of Syria. Assad, a Moslem is currently battling to survive the Syrian version of the Arab Spring, which has degenerated into a full blown civil war. African Searchlight found out that the 48-year-old Assad had through his emissaries made contacts with Adeboye to seek spiritual help as rebel forces inched close to the seat of power in Syria’s capital, Damascus. According to our sources, Assad, just like Gaddafi both of whom had heard so much about the spiritual breakthroughs and miracles being recorded at the redemption camp believed that the Syrian crisis would be over as soon as he contacted Adeboye. The Syrian president had acquired tapes of events at the redemption camp, including the Holy Ghost congresses and conventions where tens of thousands gather for spiritual upliftings. Sources told African Searchlight that he was particularly fascinated by testimonies about healing and other miracles as told by faithfuls during the redemption camp events. Assad’s believe that solution to his problems could come from Nigeria was influenced by the respect he is said to have for Nigeria and Nigerians. The Syrian president had attended postgraduate studies at the Western Eye Hospital, in London, specializing in ophthalmology in 1992 and in the course of his studies in London, he had met and interacted with Nigerians whom he considers “very brilliant.” Assad’s troops have been gaining upper hand in recent times as the almost three-year-old progress and he has miraculously succeeded in avoiding a planned attack by the United States and has continued to fend-off a ‘gang-up’ by the Arab League who are supporting the opposition. So far, Assad remains the only Arab leader in recent times who has been able to survive a prolonged uprising such as the Arab Spring. It is not clear if Assad’s search for spiritual intervention has helped him to nudge ahead or just by reason of fate.

I don't understand why people are criticizing Cameron. It's only significant cos it's an African church, he probably is looking to increase his appeal to Africans. Politicians go to churches, just as they go to different parts of the country on their campaign trail. Christian voters must be courted too, it's not a new thing. It's not even a GEJ/GMB thing, American politics has it almost worse.

All those saying he supports homosexuality, Adeboye doesn't have to agree with his values to pray for him. It's God's prerogative what & how to answer prayers, the duty of man is to pray.

Politicians are dirty, yeah... But remember how the religious people condemned Jesus for dining & visiting with publicans & tax collectors. Everyone knew what he stood for, he shared his message with them, but it was up to them if & when they accepted it. So i think the issue is if the association with politicians is changing the message preached. Nero & other political leaders loved to associate with the early church. It has always been, and would continue to be so. Everybody loves success, if you become successful tomorrow you would be sharing a stage with world leaders.
Your comment is very rare and logical. Thank you.

You're very idiotic, much like you moniker.

Instead of being a reference point for things that matter like science & technology, you're happy being a reference point for idiocy.

Since Nigerians make up a large part of the black demographic in the UK, it's only logical that he visits the most popular Nigerian church in the UK which happens to be redeemed, nothing special.

Now I hope he visits the mosques, lets see how well they welcome him.

This is proof that Jonathan doesn't hold monopoly of stup*idity, his British counterpart has borrowed a page from his stupi*dity book.

I agree grin grin grin

I hope Nigel Farage takes him to the cleaners for this grin

Cameron is actually wasting his time but the again he is desperate

Majority of the parliamentary seats in london are safe seats. Just have a look at the last election's electoral map (attached below)

Key Indicators:
conservatives usually do well in the suburbs and affluent areas (Reason- They aren't deprived nor suffering from the impact of excessive migration)

Labour usually do well in inner city (Reasons - Deprivation and alignment with Labours social economic policies, ethnicity usually come into play)

Yeah, I know he's wasting his time.

He has no hope for any Scottish vote so he's not even wasting his time doing any significant campaign here neither is his party.

A part of me want SNP to be part of some sort of coalition ( I voted "Yes" in the referendum grin grin) and we don't want us to lose some of the "perks" we enjoy in scotland. grin grin

On the flip side, David Cameron has done a good job as per the economy. He deserves credit for that. The unemployment rate says it all.

The PM need Jesus too, every one does!

For righteous living and salvation of souls. God wants as many as possible in his kingdom. After enjoying everything on earth and he discovered that all is vanity, the Prime Minister might have just started his working relationship with God, the beginning and end of all things. May God redeem and save his soul for His Eternal Kingdom. Though qualification for God's kingdom is not by politics or, it is by God's grace and mercy, and turning the right attitude and commitment to His service.
