General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor Enoch Adeboye says he believes the naira will regain its strength despite the fall.
At the finale of the church’s week-long Holy Ghost Congress on Saturday, Adeboye, 78, prayed for God to change the hearts of policymakers who deliberately devalue the naira.
The influential cleric narrated an event where he received divine intervention during his time of need.
Adeboye said, “During our first Convention here at the Redemption Camp, I was bold, I asked everybody to come, free feeding. They came, I ran out of money. My wife came to me in the morning, ‘Sir, we need N5,000.’
“Naira was powerful then. It will become powerful again. Those who are deliberately devaluing our naira, before tomorrow morning, God will intervene.
“So, my wife said we needed N5,000. I asked her, ‘Do you need it today or later?’ She said today. I didn’t have a kobo. I told her to go. I cried to God that I needed a breakthrough. It wasn’t long after that, one man drove in, he wasn’t a member of the church.
“He asked what’s going on and we said we are having a Convention. And then, he put his hands in his pocket and brought out an envelope with some money.
“I then called on my wife and asked her, ‘How much do you say you need?’”
The naira exchanged to the dollar at 490/$ in the parallel market this week after it had sold for N500 last week.
