George Weah, retired footballer, on Sunday visted the
Synagogue Church of All Nations in Ikotun, Lagos, to
seek the support of TB Joshua, founder of the church,
in his bid to lead Liberia.
Weah, who is the leading candidate in the Liberian
presidential election, will face Joseph Boakai, the
incumbent vice-president, in a runoff slated for
November 7.
Yormie Johnson, a former Liberian warlord, and one of
the 20 candidates who participated in the first round of
the election, accompanied Weah to the church.
“My brother is here today because he loves his
country and wants God’s choice for his country,”
Joshua said during the sermon.
“He is not here to impose himself. What does God say
about his country, Liberia? What is God’s opinion?
That is why he is here.
“We are not herbalists or witch-doctors; we are people
of God. God’s choice is our choice. We cannot pray
against God’s will.
“Without God’s corresponding power, we cannot pray
to Him. For every step we take – every movement and
action – intimation comes first.
“There must be suggestion from the Spirit to move
before we move. If truly I am a man of God, I must hear
from God – move or don’t move.
“God’s opinion is what we should seek in our country
– simple! God is the Answer, the Final.”
Among the top politicians on the continent who have
visited Joshua’s church are Tanzania’s President,
John Magufuli; John Atta Mills, the late president of
Ghana; Joyce Banda, former president of Malawi;
Morgan Tsvangarai, Zimbabwean prime minister and
Julius Malema, South African opposition leader.
