Amidst torrent of condolences coming from all over the world over the death of his son, Dare, General Overseer of the Redeemed Church of God, RCCG , Pastor Enoch Adeboye on Thursday, to the surprise of all, put aside his grief, to preach at the church’s monthly programme, Holy Communion Service.
Recall TheNewsGuru (TNG) had exclusively broke the news of Dare’s death yesterday.
Speaking at the May edition of the programme tagged ‘Overflowing Blessings’, which was televised by the church’s television ministry, DOVE Media and monitored by TNG , Adeboye who virtually attended the event, premised his sermon on John 6: 5-13 to show the relevance of bread and wine as symbols of communion.
His words: “Holy Communion is a sacred meal, stressed that it carries the same power as the very first meal where Jesus Christ was present. Is Jesus present here today? you better believe it, where two or three are gathered, I will be there… as we bow our head in prayer, those of you who are yet to give your life to Christ, ask God to save your souls so that you can partake of the table of the Lord. If you want to give your life to Christ, run to the alter and ask him for his mercy, to wash you and make you partaker of his blood and body.”
After the sermon, one of the leaders of the church who took over activities of the communion service told the congregation in the auditorium at the Redemption Camp: “Tonight, daddy has prayed for us. He has also prayed on all the elements that we are going to use – the bread and the wine. I am here not standing in for him because I am too small to stand in for him; I am only here to deliver the message as a messenger.
“He could have been here physically as he used to but due to circumstances beyond control, he was not able to be here but to the Glory of God, he has said to us, Jesus is here and he is also there praying for us,” he said of the decision by Adeboye to preach from the DOVE Television studio.
