    Meanwhile, the RCCG as a church has also made it’s position on the demand to end police brutality in the country.

    The church made its position known in a statement signed by Pastor Johnson Odesola, Assistant General Overseer, Administration and Personnel, RCCG.

    The statement reads: “The Redeemed Christian Church of God identifies with Nigerians presently protesting against police brutality and the abuse of power by the very institution established to protect them.

    “The Church declares its understanding and appreciation of the concerns and grievances of the youths and the generality of Nigerians and calls for an immediate end to police brutality in the country.

    “While noting the constitutional responsibility of the Police to maintain law and order, the Church emphasizes the need for the Police to constantly align their strategies with the needs of the people.

    “While noting that many innocent lives have been lost through unnecessary brutality and wrong application of force, the Church calls on the Government to not only restructure the Police but to also re-orientate the officers towards modern ways of policing.

    “The Church welcomes the disbandment of the SARS, and notes the establishment of a new outfit called the Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) but advises that it should not become a case of old wine in a new bottle.

    “The Church reiterates its call on Government to take urgent steps to tackle the rising rate of unemployment, decay in the nation’s educational system and the general harsh economic situation in the country.

    “The Church appeals to young Nigerians to comport themselves orderly as they have been online and in major cities across the federation and express their grievances within the confines of what God and the Law of the land allows”.

    Check your salvation if you are still afraid of death at 70 – Adeboye

    The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye has said that people who were above 70 years needed to check their salvation if they were still afraid of death.

    Adeboye said this at the first Sunday Thanksgiving of the RCCG new year calender, held at the headquarters in Lagos on Sunday.

    “Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, old people were advised to stay at home and not come to church which is a good advice.

    “But if you are over 70 years of age and you are still afraid of death, then you should check your salvation,” he said.

    Adeboye, however, declared that no one would die, adding that everyone would live to declare the word of God.

    He added that the Almighty God would turn down coronavirus, adding that no virus would come near the children of God.

    “God will give us total victory on any virus. The Lord who has kept us to see September will keep us to see the new year,” he prayed.

    In his sermon, Adeboye told the congregation to always praise the Lord because He had done a lot for the country and everyone in particular.

    “When we remember some people we grew up with are dead, some are in prison, sick, and we are still alive, then we should have reasons to praise the Lord.

    “When we know we have the Almighty God, the conqueror of any virus by our side, then we have every reason to thank God,” he said.

    He added that the Almighty God would never the people.

    “Everyone should continue to praise God for life,” he said.

    He urged those that had not given their lives to Christ to do so for them to get God’s blessings.

  • Man borrows money to sponsor RCCG convention all by himself

    Man borrows money to sponsor RCCG convention all by himself

    General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has revealed how a man borrowed money from an undisclosed bank to sponsor all by himself the church’s annual convention that usually holds in August.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Pastor Adeboye, who made the disclosure on Sunday, did not reveal the identity of the man but said the person eventually went on to become the chairman of the bank from which he took the loan.

    “I told you before, one of my sons came to me and said daddy, please pray for me that God will prosper me. I want to be one of the three people who will sponsor the convention. I said fine, are you sure that is why you… he said yes. Okay, we prayed.

    “The following week he came back. Daddy, I said God should prosper me so I can sponsor the convention, my place of work, they sacked me. I laughed. Are you going to sponsor the convention on that little salary of yours? He heard your prayer so He had to shut one door and open another. A few months later, he brought enough money to take care of at least one-third of the expenses of the convention.

    “Another fellow heard the testimony and came to me… daddy I want to be the one who will single-handedly sponsor the convention of this year. He said how much, I said how would I know. I don’t know how many people will come. But I can tell you how much we spent last year. So I told him.

    “I thought he would run away and not come back. He came back the following week with a banker’s draft. Later on, I was to learn he borrowed the money. But you know what? It wasn’t long after that the very bank he borrowed the money from, he became the chairman,” Adeboye said.

    Adeboye, fondly referred to as Daddy GO, who was speaking on “the shortest way to the greatest height” in continuation of his message titled “from lockdown to leaping up part 7”, narrated how the Holy Ghost service of the RCCG started.

    “I’ve told you before the story of the origin of the Holy Ghost service. My birthday was approaching, I was in London, preparing the Sunday school pamphlet for the Redeemed Christian Church of God when God said to me son what do you want for your birthday.

    “And I said because I’m not sure I wasn’t aware that God could be interested in the birthday of anybody talk less of me. Daddy is that you? If it’s you, repeat the question, He repeated the question and I said well if it is that you are asking me, for all I want, is that every member of my congregation will get a miracle.

    “I was seeking His kingdom. I want to do the work He has given me. I want to do it creditably. That is why the Holy Ghost service has been on since 1986 and it is waxing stronger day by day. That is why anywhere in the world where I go and I say we want to hold the Holy Ghost service we don’t have to beg people to come,” he said.

    Pastor Adeboye reveals 3 things to do for God to lift you above expectations

    The General Overseer (G.O.) of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye on Sunday urged Nigerians to enlarge their visions for greatness, adding that ‘God is able to do all things.’

    Adeboye during his online sermon said that the almighty God can make anyone become great only if one is diligent, holy and faithful to Him.

    He said, “There are three things you have to do before God can lift you above your expectations.

    “You must have faith in Him, which means you have to believe God can do whatever you ask for and beyond.

    “God will require from you diligence. God won’t take you higher if you are lazy. How high you want to go depends on how much work you put in.

    “Holiness is another way if you want God to take you higher; you cannot continue to enjoy in sin and expect God to take you higher,” he said.

    The sermon was titled: ‘From Lockdown to Leaping Up’ Part 5.

    Adeboye said the if the Lord could lift a beggar up till he dined with Kings,( I Samuel 2, verse 7 to 8) he can still do the same for anybody.

    He prayed that God should let the coronavirus pandemic be a matter of the past, stressing that people should try to be holy.

    He added that holiness was very important to be practised by anyone who wanted the Lord to take him or her to the next level.

    Pastor Adeboye, wife, grandkids to stay away as RCCG Churches reopen

    General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has said himself, his wife and grandchildren will not attend corporate church service yet.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the 78 year-old mathematician pastor, fondly referred to as Daddy GO, made this known in his sermon on Sunday.

    “We want to thank the Almighty God that some of us will begin to gather again as from next Sunday. I believe that some of you are already gathering in some parts of the world and we believe that you will now begin to enjoy power of corporate prayers once again.

    “But as you gather together in all those places, where you are free to gather, please remember those of us who cannot gather with you yet. People like me and my wife cannot gather with you in Lagos because we are over 65 years of age and my grandchildren cannot gather with you yet because they are under 15 years of age.

    “So, remember us in prayers, so that very soon, we will be able to join you. And now that you are able to pray together corporately.

    “I am sure that your prayers will be far, far more effective against this plague so that very soon, all will be well.

    “For those of you who are still at home, I think I will be reaching out to you again for a couple of weeks more, and for those of you who can gather, your Pastors can go back to their assignments, if they still want to join those of us who are still on lockdown, they are welcome of course,” he said.

    COVID-19: Lockdown will be over soon – Pastor Adeboye

    The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has said the lockdown emplaced to contain the spread of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) would be over sooner than later.

    Pastor Adeboye, who stated this in his sermon on Sunday during the June edition of the thanksgiving service of RCCG, commended the efforts of the government in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The popular cleric, who said the lockdown would be over sooner or later, prayed it would be a blessing to everyone who served and worshiped God.

    He also prayed for every problem troubling the world to be over before the end of the month.

    He thanked God for what the government had been doing to tackle the spread of the virus to its barest minimum through the lockdown initiative.

    “We thank God for what the government has been doing. For some people, the lockdown will be over sooner than later. If you learn to worship God, you will see the lockdown becoming an asset rather than a problem,” he said.

    In the thanksgiving sermon entitled, “Flying Over Mountains,” Adeboye enjoined everyone to wait on the Lord.

    “For you to fly over your mountain, you have to wait on the Lord; read Issiah 40: 28-31, John 19: 28 and Psalm 132: 7-8.

    “By waiting on the Lord, you have to invite and offer Him water, give Him food which is worship and treat Him with honour by offering Him praises till He is satisfied.

    “By waiting on Him, you can fly over the mountains of failure, poverty, barrenness and physical lockdown,” he said.

  • Pastor Adeboye reveals secret to all round success

    Pastor Adeboye reveals secret to all round success

    The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye says preaching of the gospel remains the secret of all round success for every child of God.

    Adeboye said this while admonishing the faithful on a live Sunday Service via Dove Television.

    The RCCG GO disclosed that soul winning was the secrets of success for every child of God, taking his text from the book of Mark 16: 15-20.

    He urged all Christians to preach the gospel so as to become successful in life.

    According to him, if you become an active soul winner, you will begin to enjoy many benefits.

    The benefits, he said, include constant answered prayers, constant divine touch, supernatural strength and hearing from God.

    “You don’t need to be a prophet to hear from God, only be a soul winner. Other benefits are miraculous supply, divine immunity. You don’t have to worry yourself about demonic attacks, evil arrow, poisonous foods; they will not be able to harm you.

    “You will begin to enjoy divine partnership, God becomes your partner and you become successful, God will always back you up, you will begin to enjoy divine excellence; become better than your colleagues.

    “Also, you will live long if you are winning soul; a Christian that is not winning soul risks not living a long life,” he said.

    Adeboye further emphasised that anyone who did not preach the gospel, would be in danger as a Christian.

    He, therefore, urged all faithful to be wise by doing what the word of God says about winning souls.

    COVID-19: ‘If you love yourself, you better stay home’ – Pastor Adeboye [VIDEO]

    As the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) lockdown announced by President Muhammadu Buhari reaches day 26, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has advised Nigerians to continue staying at home.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Pastor Adeboye gave the advice during a live service on Sunday while teaching on a message titled ‘power’, stressing that where the word of a president is, there is power.

    “Now, there are categories of power. There is political power. Ecclesiastes chapter 8 verse 4 says, where the word of the king is, there is power. You put it in the modern language, where the word of the president is, there is power.

    “If you don’t believe that, just check what is happening. President sits in his house, makes a decree or a pronouncement: everybody stay home. If you love yourself, you better stay home,” Pastor Adeboye, fondly referred to as Daddy GO said.

    Nigeria has been under lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After President Buhari imposed the lockdown for Lagos and Ogun States, and the federal capital territory (FCT), Abuja as parts of measures to control the disease, other States followed suit.

    Even, the Governors of the 36 States of the federation through the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) recently wrote to the President to include inter-state lockdown, overnight curfew and compulsory wearing of face masks in the public in his next pronouncements.

    As of March 30 when Buhari first pronounced the 14-day lockdown, there were 97 cases of COVID-19 in the country but on April 13 when the lockdown elapsed, the cases had risen to 323. The President, however, extended the lockdown by two weeks, explaining that “alarming” increase in cases made him do so.

    Nigerians are anxious to know the next presidential directive on the lockdown as there are currently 1,182 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the country.

  • COVID-19: ‘The journey to normalcy has started’ – Pastor Adeboye

    General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has said the return journey to normalcy from the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has begun.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Pastor Adeboye made this known on Sunday, while asking that the government should include men of God in committees dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

    According to Pastor Adeboye, the Coronavirus would start receding and the lockdown would be suspended soon. He said the government should include religious leaders (Imam and archbishop) to the country’s welfare committee.

    He also revealed that Nigeria and Africa would overcome COVID-19 before the rest of the world, advising Nigerians to suspend all forms of travelling for the time being.

    The revered man of God, fondly referred to as Daddy GO, said he has only one more week to be conducting online programs.

    He thanked the Nigerian government for the effort so far in tackling the virus, while highlighting some of the contributions of the RCCG.

    “I have good news for us. I believe that the return journey to normalcy has started. And I am believing God that your pastors will soon return to their normal duties.

    “Maybe, at most, probably I will spend one more Sunday with you after which the pastors would be back to their duties in Jesus name.

    “The return journey to normalcy might not be very very rapid or sudden. It might be gradual but it will be steady. I sincerely hope though that when the battle is over, we will remember to give all the glory to God.

    “We thank God for the government. We thank God for all the efforts they have made. I believe they have done creditably because they have had to deal with a situation, a kind they have never seen before.

    “But I will probably humbly suggest just as a Nigerian that maybe in the future they will include in all their committees men of God. I am not talking of small boys like myself but I am talking about some Chief Imams, some Archbishops. So that they can help them with the spiritual aspect of this warfare.

    “I sincerely do hope that we will all admit it is not our wisdom, not our abilities, not our planning that has brought us whatever victory we have already gotten. We need to return all the glory to God because the elders would say, the rain can send you to the same hut more than once. We need to really really give all the glory to God because we don’t want the victories that we have won so far to be reversed”.

    Pastor Adeboye further stated “Even after the lockdown, any journey abroad that is not very crucial, postpone it, because God is going to give us victory here in Nigeria and in Africa, even before it extends to the rest of the world”.

  • KILLINGS: End Wanton innocent blood shedding now or Nigeria risks God’s anger – Pastor Adeboye warns

    Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has said many people do not know that when the ground of a nation becomes saturated with the blood of the innocent, the ground responds by producing a plague.
    TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports the General Overseer popularly referred to as Daddy GO by devout members of the RCCG made this known in his message at the monthly Holy Ghost service of the church.
    The revered, succinctly spoken man of God enjoined all Nigerians not to stop praying for mercy and divine intervention for God to stop the bloodshed in the country.
    “The Bible says the life of the animal is in the blood. So, the blood is powerful, and it speaks; it has a voice. So, when you shed blood; when you shed innocent blood, the blood speaks from the earth.
    “And there is something many people don’t know. When the ground of a nation becomes saturated with the blood of the innocent, the ground responds by producing a plague.
    “May I give just one illustration. When the ground of shall we just say, take just one nation, Sierra Leone; it is saturated with the blood of the innocent; plague came called Ebola. I’m sure you will remember.
    “Now somebody then came and brought that Ebola to Nigeria, and he brought it at the time of our convention. Probably we remember. And people had already come by thousands from all over Africa. They were already here for the ministers conference leading to the convention.
    “All the governments around, they heard it. They wrote to me what are we going to do, these people are here among your people. I went to God, Daddy help me! What do I do? If there should be a single case of Ebola in this place, during convention, we are finished, because it would be carried to the whole world.
    “Daddy told me one thing, and I am telling you this now, so that you will know why you must pray. He said, no problem my son, I will stop the Ebola in Nigeria. He said because the cup of Nigeria is not yet full. And you know within two weeks, the Ebola vanished from Nigeria, because at that time, the cup of Nigeria is not yet full.
    “That is why I have been crying to you, I have been telling you for almost a year now please pray that God would have mercy on Nigeria so that this bloodshed can end before our cup is full,” Adeboye revealed.
    While also speaking at the programme, the RCCG GO sounded a note of warning to young ministers to flee every appearances of evil.
