George Weah, the leading presidential candidate in Liberia and football legend on SUnday attended a Church service in Lagos, Nigeria to “seek God’s face” for his nation. The famous Liberian Senator was part of a multi-cultural congregation at The Synagogue Church Of All Nations, SCOAN, led by T.B. Joshua.

During his sermon which was broadcast live on popular Christian channel Emmanuel TV, TB Joshua warmly welcomed George Weah and spoke directly to him saying “my brother is here today because he loves his country and wants God’s choice for his country. 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.” TB Joshua went further to reiterate that he was not favouring any particular side of the political spectrum but his own role was to pray for “the will of God” to be done in the nation of Liberia. “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.”

Also present in the service was Yormie Johnson, a former Liberian warlord and also one of the nation’s prominent presidential candidates. The presidential run-off elections between Weah and Boakai is scheduled to hold on November 7, 2017
