‘My deliverance can never be won by men’ - Eagles star Akor Adams goes spiritual for DR Congo

Sevilla forward Akor Adams has taken a spiritual stand ahead of Nigeria’s crucial African World Cup Qualifier playoff final against the Leopards of DR Congo, declaring that his strength and deliverance come from God alone.

Adams, 25, has quickly become a fan favourite after an impressive start to his international career with the Super Eagles.

In just three appearances for the Super Eagles, he has already scored twice, including an important goal in Nigeria’s dominant 4-1 victory over Gabon.

During that match, Adams capitalised on a defensive mistake to break the deadlock, securing his second goal for the national team and helping set the tone for a commanding win.

As the Super Eagles prepare for their decisive clash in Rabat, Akor shared a bold, faith-filled message with fans via his Instagram story that shows the depth of his belief and confidence.

“Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom, but my miracle-deliverance can never be won by men,” he wrote. “Our boast is in Yahweh our God, who makes us strong and gives us victory.”

This powerful statement reflects Adams’ spiritual mindset as he approaches what could be one of the most important matches of his career.

It also echoes a broader faith-driven mentality among many players in the Super Eagles squad.

With Akor’s blend of talent and faith fueling his performance, Nigerians will be hopeful the team can overcome DR Congo and secure their place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

His message inspires not just belief in a higher power but confidence in the team’s collective strength as they face this critical challenge from a very determined Leopards.
