Daddy Adeboye Visits Kirikiri Prison, Encourages Inmates, Commissions Solar Lights

 

According the Pulse, Pastor E.A Adeboye this Sunday visited Kirikiri Maximum Prison for the 2014 End of Year service and commissioned the solar lights held at the Liberty Chapel of the prison. In his address, he said, 

“If you have Jesus Christ your spirit is free, oh, men can put you in imprison but they can’t imprison your spirit, they can say that you are not walking out of this place till you die but they can’t stop you from praising God.

Quoting the bible, Adeboye preached to the inmates that their help can only come from God and not from any governor, lawyer and not even himself, who is a pastor.

One of the inmates Segun Bright , currently serving a 4-year sentence, gave a testimony during the service which moved pastor Adeboye who was quoted saying: “That is why if you have Jesus Christ as your friend, Lord and Saviour then you are free.”

Daddy GO encouraged the congregation in his message:

“I was a young pastor and an elderly pastor who was mentoring me brought me here. I cannot forget that day because there was a young man at the organ there and was dancing as he was playing the organ and I whispered to the old man who brought me ‘are they going to free him next week because he was full of joy, his face was bright’ and the old man whispered back to me and said ‘no he is in here for life’. So, the story was that this man had a quarrel with his friend and suddenly a fight ensued and he slapped the man and he fell and died. And so, he was arrested, brought here and sentenced to life. While he was here he said he received Jesus. What I’m is that Jesus is the only helper you have got; He is the only friend that you have and He is the one who will stand by you when father, mother and friends disappoint.”

Expressing appreciation on behalf of the inmates, Tunwashe Kabiru the chapel pastor in his welcome speech said the church through Pastor Adeboye renovated the National Opening University (NOUN) building and equipped same with computer sets in 2010 and that the building is serving its purposes.
