    Activities heralding the event commenced on Thursday, with an 82-hours non stop praise by the church’s youth choir.

    A Special Holy Ghost and Thanksgiving Service was held at the church’s Redemption Camp, Redemption City, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

    The congregation, however,thanked God for the gift of life of the pastor and prayed for good health and sustenance in his endeavours.

    The event, with the theme “On Eagles’ Wings”, highlighted the pastor’s stride over the years in the service of God and mankind.

    The redemption camp hosted people from across the world who came to pay tribute to the clergy and appreciate him for his inspiring counsel.

    Speaking on the birthday celebration, the Head of the National Ushers for the church, Pastor James Akinyemi, described Adeboye as one with special covenant with God, adding that the celebrator has remained consistent in his calling.

    Pastor Adeboye recalls near death experience

    Speaking at the Redemption Camp, off Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun, on Saturday as he clocked 82, with congregants celebrating him, Pastor Adeboye says he is alive because God is wonderful, recalling how he once escaped death by the whiskers.

    Adeboye narrated the incident, which many years ago, according to him, could have claimed his life, if not for a miraculous intervention of God.

    He referred to an earlier narrative by his former driver of several accidents in which the cleric and his wife escaped death in various incidents on the way to Ilorin, Kwara.

    Adeboye said that the most frightening was one in which their vehicle came face to face with a trailer that was coming at full speed on a narrow path, by a bridge which had a river by its side.

    “Somehow we passed,” he said, noting that it was a miracle that they escaped unhurt in the incident, which left both him and his driver shaking.

    Adeboye said the escape amazed his driver, that all the way to Ilorin, all he was repeating was ‘wonderful.’

    “That I’m alive today is because His name is called wonderful,” he said, and prayed that God would be wonderful in the lives of the people.

    Adeboye appreciated the church members for celebrating him, praying that none of them would die young, and that they would be greater than him.

    He said that his 82nd birthday anniversary also marked the 38th anniversary of the annual Special Holy Ghost Service organised by the church.

    Adeboye thanked God for the lives that had been touched through the programme.

    The cleric, at the event, went on to preach on the theme of the Holy Ghost Service – On Eagles Wings.

    Preaching from Exodus Chapter 19, he said, “When God hears and takes notice of a person, the life of such a person changes for better.

    “God can grab you from the lowest point on earth and put you on the throne.”

    According to him, when one’s case is beyond any human assistance, the God who knows will send help.

    The cleric said that all God required was faith and holiness, and He was able to give sweatless victory.

    He prayed that God would hear the cries of the people, carry them on eagle’s wings and deliver them totally like He did for the children of Israel.

    Abiodun praises Pastor Adeboye at 82, calls him exceptional leader

    This was contained in a statement issued in Abeokuta on Saturday by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Lekan Adeniran to mark Adeboye’s 82nd birthday.

    In the statement, Abiodun said that Adeboye had always been consistent in advocating for peace, unity, and the socio-economic wellbeing of the country.

  • Nothing we can do to stop hardship in Nigeria – Pastor Adeboye

    Nothing we can do to stop hardship in Nigeria – Pastor Adeboye

    General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has said there is nothing the ordinary people of Nigeria will do that will stop the hardship in the country.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Pastor Adeboye said this on Sunday during the February Thanksgiving Service of the RCCG that was held with the theme: ‘Let The Wind Blow’.

    Speaking at the Throne of Grace Parish, RCCG Headquarters, in Ebute Meta, Lagos, Adeboye, fondly known as Daddy GO, recalled his prophecies for year 2024.

    Adeboye maintained that the wind was already blowing, and begged Nigerians to pray and cry to God to show mercy on Nigeria.

    He, however, declared that the governors and the President are secure and unaware of the hardship in the country.

    “Remember at the beginning of the year, God said that things are going to get worse before they get better.

    “If you know the value of the naira to the Dollar by January 1, if you compare the value of the Naira to the Dollar today; you would say, it looks like this boy knows what he was saying,” Pastor Adeboye said.

    According to him, when things get worse, it is the innocent people who would suffer.

    “It does not matter how much they are changing the Dollar, they are secured where they are.

    “The Governor does not need to know the cost of petrol; he doesn’t want to know how much petrol is in his tank. When he wants to go out, he comes out and enters his car. He doesn’t queue at the petrol station.

    “The President doesn’t need to know how much they sell bread; that is none of his business; it would get to his table when he wants to eat.

    “It is the common people like you and I who can tell that at the beginning of the year, this is how much they are selling rice, because we have to buy,” he said.

    Adeboye, however, called on Nigerian Christians to pray for God to intervene quickly.

    “I have told you that I am not a Prophet, I am a Pastor. At the beginning of the year, the Lord said that the wind was going to blow, and the wind was already blowing. As it is, there is nothing we can do to stop it.”

    “We have to pray with all our strength because when you say things would get worse before they get better.

    “We don’t know how worse or how farther before they can get better. With all your heart, cry to God and say please have mercy on us, intervene quickly,” Adeboye said.

    “Don’t let anybody tell you money is not in this country, just that it is in the wrong hands. This year, wealth will change hands. The wind is going to blow on the Naira.

    “Long before the end of this year, you will know that you are on the mountaintop. Some will start the year as nobody, but before the end of the year, they will be somebody.

    “If you do anything you can to serve God, he will not only reposition you, he will lift you to the mountain top,” Adeboye said.

  • Why I allowed Pastor Adeboye sit on royal chair – Oba Alao

    Why I allowed Pastor Adeboye sit on royal chair – Oba Alao

    The Olugbon of Orile Igbon, Oba Francis Olusola Alao has clarified why he allowed Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), to sit on his royal chair when he was in his Oyo State for a church programme.

    Oba Alao made the clarification in a statement he personally signed after a photo of Pastor Adeboye sitting on the royal stool went viral on social media, stressing that the stool the RCCG GO sat on was a ceremonial one.

    “My attention has been drawn to different types of reactions to a photo circulating on social media where the G.O of RCCG, Pastor Adeboye sat on one of the palace chairs.

    “Let me set the record straight by reminding all that Pastor Adeboye was in Orile-Igbon for an evangelism programme which held on the playground of Olugbon High School. His chopper landed in an open space within the palace from where I received him to my living room.

    “We spent some time talking about Nigeria and Orile-Igbon before we moved to the venue of the programme where thousands of people already gathered.

    “As a mark of honour, I offered one of the ceremonial royal chairs that are usually reserved for top dignitaries to Pastor Adeboye to be used at the programme.

    “It should be noted that the chair is not the particular one that is reserved for the Olugbon which can not be shared with anyone because of its spiritual and historical significance.

    “The royal chairs are provided in palaces to honour high-ranking dignitaries, not to desecrate the throne. I, therefore, seek the understanding of all those expressing concern about the issue.

    “There is a traditional royal chair that is meant for only the Kabiyesi, and there are traditional ceremonial chairs for very important persons. The throne of the ancient town of Orile-Igbon remains sacrosanct,” the statement reads.

    On Christmas, Alao stated: “I hereby felicitate Christians on this another occasion of celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ which is a worldwide celebration. I urge all followers of Christ in Nigeria to use this period to reflect on the multiple blessings of God, particularly the grace to be alive to witness another Christmas.

    “Aside from eating and drinking to celebrate his birth, Christmas is a time to make a new commitment to ensuring that our lives mirror Christ in every way. We should make a commitment to a life of righteousness, honesty, and showing love to fellow men regardless of their faith and cultural beliefs.”
