| Pastor E.O. Odejobi |
Pastor Emmanuel O. Odejobi,
the Zonal Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church, Transfiguration Zone is
one of the most respected and reputable ministers of God CAC Worldwide and the Christian
community can be proud of. He speaks
with CAC NEWS and LTV during the crossover service organized by CAC Transfiguration
Zone held at Progress College, Agege Lagos on 2018 general elections and other interesting
issues.
What is your
expectation for year 2019 and your New Year resolution?
Ceaselessly, honestly and earnestly, my expectation from God
for this nation is His intervention that will beat human comprehension
concerning the system of governance and rulership. This country belongs to God
and I expect the intervention of the Almighty God for right guidance, never to
allow evil befalling as per machinations of Satan and satanic ones in this
nation of God. Beyond reasonable doubt, optimistically, I am very sure my
expectation shall not be defeated for this beloved nation, Nigeria.
What is your advice
to Nigerians in respect to 2019 general elections?
There is nothing to fear of. Our problem in this nation is
all about injustice and iniquity in replacement of equity. By the reason of the
ceaseless prayer by the children of God, ministers of Christ's gospel and other
religions, I believe the will of God in Nigeria won’t go without being
accomplished. Almighty God is going to take absolute control and total
governance of this country. There is going to be peace in Nigeria. It is true
that some people expect that there will be uproar during the general elections,
but because of ceaseless prayers, God is going to surprise us. As a religious
leader I belong to no political party but that party God is going to make
choice of, to ease our tension. And always, devil notwithstanding, Almighty God
is going to settle us.
I want to advise INEC
that they should be faithful. Faithfulness, righteousness, equity in
replacement of iniquity is our prayer. We have been advising, admonishing,
instructing and chastening, but if God builds not the house, the builders build
in vain. God is going advice people that need to be advised. I am very sure God
is going to turn around evil imagination and expectation about Nigeria, because
advice that we will give may not survive the country. We are praying
ceaselessly. God is going to advise people that are going to harm this year’s
election.
During your sermon
you said crossover is called Passover in the Bible. What is your advice to
Nigerians as we have all crossed over to 2019?
I stated it during the course of my ministration that
Passover cannot come to reality until we know the importance or significance of
what exactly Passover is. Passover is about girdling ourselves with
righteousness, embracing staff of prayer and showing of good tidings in our
nation. I am very sure this year's crossover will offer us positive results. We
are to crossover from unrighteousness to righteousness, we are to crossover
from unfaithfulness to faithfulness, we are to crossover from evil to good, we
are to crossover from darkness to light etc.
Platform of faithfulness will serve the purpose of our rescue. We are
just to crossover to the other side from our abominable conduct and provocative
commitment against the God we are serving. God is not dumb or deaf to our
prayers, but we are to crossover from unrighteousness to righteousness. Leaders
of this country at all levels should do that and also we the followers.

As one of the leading religious leaders in
Nigeria, what do you think is the way forward for free, fair and credible
elections in 2019?
The way forward has already analyzed itself. The way forward
is to act according to different kinds of godly messages in our churches and
mosques. After all, people are in charge of electioneering in Nigeria are
either from the mosque or the church. What do you think will happen if they
hearken to the word of instruction and allow prayers to be answered?
God Almighty is going to take control. The way forward is
clear to us. Everywhere people are shouting for God’s mercy towards the
election. I am very sure that being lenient and considerate God, He will not
allow any blockage to come our way. The moment the wall of Jericho which
represents unrighteousness and unfaithfulness are no longer on our way, way
forward is real. We will go straight to the Canaan land where we will have
government that will restore us and set us free from long time captivity. The
way forward is to follow the instruction of the people of God that are
preaching immaculate right message that has nothing to do with sentiment or
prejudice. We need to follow the preaching of the gospel by the people of the
God that are so much concerned about our predicament in this country. Jesus
said He is the way and following Him will help us to reach out to the
reachable. The way forward is of no
revocation. It is already permanent. We will reach our reachable in this
country. This will be in dismay of devilish people in this country.

2019 General Elections:
Nigerians should not sold their consciences- Mrs.
Mariam Folashade Odejobi
What is your
expectation for year 2019 and your New Year resolution?
Once again I want to greet you happy new year and I believe
this year will be a year of peace for us because we have seen God in action. We
believe He has taken us from the Red Sea of 2018 and to year 2019. We believe
we are in the year of victory where there won’t be any rancor. We believe this
year is a year of accomplishment since we have crossed over from darkness to
light, from death to life, from poverty to wealth and from every evil to the
goodness of God. We believe this year is going to be peaceful for us and we are
going to get all the goodies God has for us. Not minding any calamity that is
embedded in this year because the Bible says the evil of the day is enough for
it. But for us children of God, we are expecting His grace and favour.
What is your advice for Nigerians considering the fact that this is an
election year?
My advice for Nigerians is that we should try as much as
possible to satisfy our conscience. In the past we have seen people voting
because of money and by that they have sold their conscience. I believe if we
have faith in God as the only source and sustenance of our lives and we are
faithful and satisfy our conscience, God is going to perform wonders. He’s
going to make us see His greatness in a positive way. I appeal to all Nigerians
that we should not exercise any fear, but we should be honest and satisfy our
conscience so that God will be able to have His right way in our lives and in
Nigeria as a whole.
What is your advice to all women in the
country?
I advise all women to be up and doing more than we have been
doing before. A major reason why God created us is that we should back-up our
husbands and make them succeed and that is why God said “I will make a helpmeet
for him.” We should stand by our husbands, we should do our duties, we should
submit to them as if we have submitted to God and we should make sure we carry
our roles out effectively. Not minding men who are behaving badly. This is
because many men are saucy. They are used to using authority either positive or
negative on women. Women should not mind that, we should be ourselves and not
be afraid. We should stand by them and make sure we perform our roles
effectively.
