The leading presidential candidate in Liberia and footballing legend George Weah, on Sunday was at the Sunday Church service of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria.<\/p>\n
The famous Liberian Senator was said to have come to the Church service to \u201cseek God\u2019s face\u201d for his country.<\/p>\n
During the sermon by Pastor T.B. Joshua which was broadcast live on popular Christian channel Emmanuel TV, Joshua warmly welcomed Weah and spoke directly to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy brother is here today because he loves his country and wants God\u2019s choice for his country,\u201d Joshua stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is not here to impose himself. What does God say about his country, Liberia? What is God\u2019s opinion? That is why he is here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The cleric went further to reiterate that he was not favoring any particular side of the political spectrum, but his own role was to pray for \u201cthe will of God\u201d to be done in the nation of Liberia.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not herbalists or witch-doctors; we are people of God. God\u2019s choice is our choice. We cannot pray against God\u2019s will,\u201d Joshua stressed, with Weah nodding firmly in agreement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout God\u2019s corresponding power, we cannot pray to Him.”<\/p>\n
For every step we take \u2013 every movement and action \u2013 intimation comes first,\u201d Joshua further expounded.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere must be suggestion from the spirit to move before we move. If truly I am a man of God, I must hear from God \u2013 move or don\u2019t move.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joshua, who is known for political neutrality, noted that Liberia\u2019s incumbent Vice President and Weah\u2019s contender in the upcoming presidential run-off, Joseph Boakai, had also contacted him to request a meeting.<\/p>\n
\u201cGod\u2019s opinion is what we should seek in our country \u2013 simple! God is the Answer, the Final,\u201d the influential Nigerian pastor added.<\/p>\n
Also present in the service was Senator Yormie Johnson, a former Liberian war lord, and also one of the nation\u2019s prominent presidential candidates.<\/p>\n
Joshua was instrumental in Johnson\u2019s conversion to Christianity, and mediated his reconciliation with the family of the late Liberian President, Samuel Doe.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cannot twist or bribe God; He is not a man\u2026 The best place to go is to meet people God has given the grace to be a communicator between visible and invisible,\u201d Joshua concluded. \u201cMeet them and let them tell you what is the way out \u2013 the next thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
The presidential run-off elections between Weah and Boakai is scheduled to hold on November 7, 2017.<\/p>\n
Other prominent visitors to The SCOAN in the past have included Tanzania\u2019s President, John Magufuli, the late President of Ghana, John Atta Mills, Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangarai and Julius Malema, South Africa\u2019s fiery opposition leader.
