PASCHAL CHIKERO : Interpreting Rev. Kris Okotie's Presidential Ambition

                                   
Pastor Kris Okotie is Nigeria's Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rev. Jesse Jackson is a black man who dreamt to become the first black president of America but couldn't become it. Rev. Jackson lived to see a black President in the person of Barack Obama rule America from the oval house. This is what Rev. Kris Okotie has become to the politically conscious Christian community.
I know you are wondering what I mean, Rev. Kris Okotie is the first Pastor to jump into politics in Nigeria. He contested the presidential election in 2003 with Olusegun Obasanjo of the People's Democratic Party, PDP. Rev. Kris Okotie made so much impact in the mind of young Nigerians who wanted to see a young, intelligent and charismatic Nigerian take the batton of leadership in Nigeria from the retired brains of retired Generals but the Reverend lost!
His claim that God told him he would become president was mocked by many but he didnt stop there, he pushed on with his party, F.R.E.S.H and he kept losing. Today , he doesn't contest the presidential elections anymore, many might say he lied about God saying he would become president but I think it depends on how you interpret prophecies.
We are made to know in the bible that we know in parts. I think Rev. Kris Okotie was not lying about becoming the president of Nigeria but only knew a piece of what God was using him to start in Nigeria at the time. God surely perfects what he has started. He works in mysterious ways too. Rev. Kris Okotie felt God wanted him to be president of Nigeria, he did all he could but looking back, one is convinced that he was just the John the Baptist who prepares the way for the messiah.
To butress my point, God has since continued his will to restore the nation with a pastor or born again Christian. You would recall that God made Muhammadu Buhari pick Pastor Tunde Bakare as his running mate. Yes they lost but again that pushed the needle a little bit further. Today, we have a full Pasror from RCCG in the person of Yemi Osinbajo serving in Aso Rock as the Vice President of Nigeria.
This is not the bus stop. Remember it is written, where ever you step your feet on, you shall possess! The Christian community through Yemi Osinbajo has possessed Aso Rock . The next big thing is a pastor will rule Nigeria and God will restore Nigeria through him.
 This is the vission Rev. Kris Okotie saw and I pray that like Rev. Jesse Jackson, he will live to see it happen. The Muslims have ruled this land for so long and nothing good has been achieved. You can count how many Christians who have ruled this nation and even though they were not born again Christians, they made some impacts.
All creations await the full manifestation of the sons of God.
