The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Friday night, reiterated
his call on members to ensure that they get their permanent
voter cards, PVCs, to enable them exercise their civic
responsibility during next month’s general elections.
Speaking on the theme, ‘The Burden Bearer’, during the
church monthly Holy Ghost Service held at the Redemption
Camp, Adeboye said the voter card is the only power the
people have during election.
Clad in white French suit, the man of God, popularly called
Daddy G.O. reminded the congregation that everyone was
expected to collect and bring his/her card to the church on
the first Sunday of January, saying that parish pastors will
request for it.
He, therefore, advised members who have not collected
their PVC to go to the nearest INEC collection centre for it.
Stressing the importance of the PVC, the cleric admonished
those who were unable to find their own to re-register for it,
noting that it is very crucial. “You must get it even if it
means spending the whole day at the local government
because without the card, you cannot vote,” Adeboye said.
“On the first Sunday of the year, come to church with your
voter card as your pastors will ask for it.
“Take thanksgiving service seriously this year. Do not take
it as what the little ones should do. How old are you in the
presence of Almighty God?”, the G.O. said.
Enumerating three types of burden to include physical
burden, material burden and marital burden, Adeboye
described burden as a heavy load that attaches itself to one
and such load goes with the person wherever he or she
goes, saying God, the Burden Bearer, is one that comes
along and help one to carry a burden.
On the conditions to meet the Burden Bearer and what is
expected when such burden is lifted, he said, one must
admit he has a burden, willing to be helped and cry to the
Bearer for help.
