    Pastor Adeboye announces theme for 2021 Holy Ghost Congress

    Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has announced the theme for the 2021 edition of the church’s Holy Ghost Congress.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Pastor Adeboye announced the theme of the 2021 Holy Ghost Congress of the RCCG on Thursday, being day 4 of the church’s 69th Annual Convention.

    Adeboye, who distinguished between the church’s Annual Convention and the Holy Ghost Congress, announced the theme of the 2021 Holy Ghost Congress as: The Siege is Over.

    The revered man of God, fondly referred to as Daddy GO, speaking on Thursday said the church’s Annual Convention is an inreach, while the Holy Ghost Congress he said is an outreach.

    Pastor Adeboye said: “Any time there is a major gathering like this, there could be two distinct approaches.

    “One approach is called an outreach. An outreach is when you are reaching out to people; people who are not yet in the church, sinners; you want to bring them in. So we call such a gathering an outreach.

    “For example, the Congress in December is an outreach. That is why you find out that everyday, every topic is the kind that people will clap, shout and jump.

    “But the second type of gathering is an inreach, when you reach inward, to those who are already inside. So the Convention is an inreach.

    “The Convention is supposed to be a gathering where we look at ourselves, where we discuss issues about those of us who are already children of God on our way to heaven, and we want to discuss how to finish well, and finish strong.

    “Of course because the Bible says you are to love your neighbour as yourself, we still throw in a little bit of outreach into the Convention. Like tomorrow for instance, Holy Ghost Night, that is an outreach. That is why you find out that the crowd of Friday night is always more than the crowd on other days, because it is an outreach.

    “Incidentally, the Lord has already told me the theme for the Congress in December. The theme for this year’s Congress in December is the siege is over”.

    TNG reports the 2020 edition of the Holy Ghost Congress of the RCCG was themed: Time to Fly. The 2020 edition was held virtually as a result of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

    Pastor Adeboye recounts hilarious encounter with an old time lover who came to him for prayers

    General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has revealed a hilarious encounter he had with an old time girlfriend he narrated he did virtually everything with.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Pastor Adeboye, fondly referred to as Daddy G. O., made the revelation in his message during the welcome service, being day 3 of the RCCG Annual Convention 2021 on Wednesday.

    Adeboye revealed that when he was yet to give his life to Jesus Christ, he had so many girlfriends, but that there was a particular one he did everything with.

    While the revered man of God did not reveal the identity of the girlfriend nor give details of everything they did together, he narrated a later encounter they had.

    Pastor Adeboye narrates: “I told you that before I gave my life to Jesus Christ, I had many, many girlfriends. But among all of them, there was one that I did everything with, and I won’t tell you the details.

    “Then, we separated. She went her way; I went my way. We didn’t see for years, and she got married, and I got married.

    “In the meantime, I got born again. When I was working at the University of Ilorin, looking after our little church there, in the meantime, they transferred her husband also to Ilorin.

    “She had given birth to a child that was born lame. Someone told her there is a pastor up there; take your child to him. If he prays for the child, the child will walk. So, she came to the mission house.

    “She saw some people at the veranda, and said I want to see the pastor. They said he is inside. And then she came in and saw me. We greeted. Old flames. How are you? Long time, no see. Where have you been?

    “And then she said I want to see the pastor. And I said yes, can I help you? She said I said I want to see the pastor. I said I am the pastor. She said, you? I said yes. You are the pastor? I said yes. She said you will pray and God will answer?

    “She didn’t know that I have already met the Lord Jesus Christ, that old things have passed away, that all things have become new. And we prayed a simple prayer and the child began to walk”.

    TNG reports the RCCG Annual Convention 2021 is the 69th Annual Convention of the church. Themed: A New Wave of Glory, the Convention will run from 2nd of August 2021 to 8th of August 2021.

  • COVID-19: You are a man of faith – Pastor Adeboye tells Gov Yahaya Bello

    COVID-19: You are a man of faith – Pastor Adeboye tells Gov Yahaya Bello

    The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has described Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State as a man of faith over his handling of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the State.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Onogwu Muhammed, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Bello made this known in a statement on Saturday.

    He quoted Pastor Adeboye to have said during a visit that Governor Bello’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was an inspiring indication of stoic faith and a rare demonstration of faith from a political leader.

    According to the statement, the RCCG G.O. reportedly assured Governor Bello that they would continue to offer prayers for the Governor, the leadership of the state and the people of the state at large.

    Applauding Bello for his balanced approach to governance, especially as it relates to religious plurality, according to the statement, Adeboye praised the Governor for tolerance and inclusiveness to the extent that the first-ever Chapel in the Kogi State Government house was built by the Governor.

    “We have heard and seen your show of faith in God, particularly in dealing with the Coronavirus. It takes the man of faith to have acted the way you did and we are very very pleased with you.

    “We have also heard the news of how you’ve been relating to people of every faith to the extent that you built the first chapel in the government house, Lokoja, we are delighted.

    “I want to assure you that we will keep on praying for you, we will keep on praying for the people of your State and I believe that the Almighty God will answer our prayers for you. Thank you for granting us the audience,” the statement quoted Adeboye to have said.

    In his response, Governor Bello said the visit of the clergy was a gift and that he was delighted to be hosting a father figure who served as a role model to many across the country, himself inclusive.

    Governor Bello asserted that It was evil of any leader to continually do wrong without recourse to natural justice, adding that in Kogi State under his leadership, considering the circumstances surrounding how he became governor and his election for a second term, the resolve is to do good by providing credible and impacting governance.

    He further stated that his administration’s strive to ensure ethnic, religious balance, fighting criminality and other modest achievements were only natural and mandatory obligations expected of leaders bequeathed with the people’s mandate.

    The Governor tasked the revered and venerable clergy to continue to pray for the country, the state, both leadership and followership stating that all faith at this very period should harmonise to seek divine intervention for the nation instead of beating the drum of divisions and war.

    “Don’t cry for my son” – Watch Pastor Adeboye’s message at son’s funeral

    Pastor Dare Adeboye, late son of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) was buried on Tuesday.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Pastor Adeboye, during the farewell service for Dare, urged members of the church not to cry for the deceased.

    “Cry if you wish but don’t cry for pastor Dee because he is resting in glory. Cry because you are the one still fighting the battle. Anyone who has caught a glimpse of heaven will not be crying for pastor Dee because there is no comparison between heaven and earth. But then fight courageously because, on the resurrection morning, we shall meet again.

    “I want you to know that God who knows the end from the beginning knew long before the foundations of the world that what has happened was going to happen. And because his word is forever settled, he said all things work together for good to them that love God. We may not understand now, but what has happened is going to work out for our good.

    “In one of his sermons, Dare himself said God does not need a visa to pay you a visit or to do whatever he wants to do in your life.

    “And I have told you before, death is not a function of age. Young people die, old people die, children die. And it is not about how long you live it is how well. Even Jesus Christ himself died at the age of 33. John the Baptist never lived to be 34 and yet he was the greatest.

    “We have lost a champion. You would agree with me on that. Let us consider him a seed that we have sown and let’s get ready for a special harvest. I want us to join our forces together and produce many champions like Damilare that would go round the whole world and shake the world for the Lord Jesus. That is how we can honour his memory,” Pastor Adeboye said.

    TNG reports the farewell service was held at the Youth Centre, Redemption Camp, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

  • Pastor Adeboye’s wife, Folu weeps for Nigeria as she leads prayers at Holy Ghost service

    Pastor Adeboye’s wife, Folu weeps for Nigeria as she leads prayers at Holy Ghost service

    Pastor Folu Adeboye, wife of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) on Friday wept as she led prayers for Nigeria.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the wife of the RCCG General Overseer, who recently lost her son, Dare, wept while leading a prayer session at the May 2021 edition of the church’s Holy Ghost service.

    While leading the prayer session during the service, she said Nigeria needed prayers, and that the country was going through a siege, and that guns won’t help.

    With tears in her eyes, she urged Nigerians to pray to God to liberate the country, and for every other nation to get out of every form of siege that they are going through.

    “Brethren, today’s prayer is going to be different because there is always a purpose for a season because the Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 that there is purpose for season. The season that we are in Nigeria now calls for a lot of prayers.

    “Our nation, Nigeria, is going through a siege and it is so much, so hard and we want God to liberate us even as we connect to other nations and believe that our prayers for Nigeria, God Himself will allow it to reach other nations and other nations will get out of every form of siege that they are going through.

    “These prayers, if you need to weep, you better weep because weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. This is the time we need to cry. It is becoming overwhelming, it is too much, people are dying every day from hunger, people are dying every day from all kinds of terrorism, and people are dying from kidnapping,” she said, while calling on God to have mercy on Nigeria.

    Meanwhile, Pastor Adeboye, fondly referred to Daddy GO, during the Holy Ghost service, said a third wave of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) will not happen in Nigeria.

    Adeboye said it was for the prayers of Christians that the COVID-19 did not take a detrimental dimension, and that Christians have to pray also for the third wave of COVID-19 not to happen in Nigeria.

    He explained that the ability to pray is a gift that summons the Almighty to come and help, and that it takes the special grace of God to remember to pray.

    “Don’t listen to any person who says it is by their own wisdom that Coronavirus is now subdued in Nigeria. It is because you prayed. You asked God for mercy, and God heard, and in the mighty name of Jesus, there will be no third wave.

    “But, I want to encourage you that you need to pray again. We have problems of many kinds in Nigeria so very soon, you might be summoned to pray again. We need to pray against all the problems we are facing, and God will answer when we pray,” Pastor Adeboye said.
