    Due to unfounded accusations recently, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the esteemed General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has emphatically denied claims that he consults demons at the Redemption Camp prior to delivering sermons and prophecies to his congregation.

    The respected pastor tackled the allegations head-on during the ongoing August Holy Ghost convention. Adeboye took to the podium on Friday to address the issue after becoming aware of various online publications that propagated the unsettling accusations. The claims, made by self-proclaimed prophets, clerics, and certain groups, have taken social media platforms by storm, prompting the revered pastor to confront the matter with utmost seriousness.

    In a passionate address to the congregation, Pastor Adeboye urged his followers to join him in prayer, inviting divine judgment to determine the truth. He appealed to the attendees, saying, “I want you to say this prayer: If Pastor Adeboye has any links with any demonic powers, let him die before the sun rises.

    But if he is using your power, multiply the powers by seven folds.”
    Pastor Adeboye’s response demonstrated his commitment to transparency and his desire to put an end to the disturbing rumors that have circulated. He emphasized that he would not be bothered by the false allegations, but expressed concern that even some of his own congregation might have fallen prey to the baseless claims.

  • Harsh economic policy: FREE full tank for early worshippers at RCCG Ikeja parish today

    Harsh economic policy: FREE full tank for early worshippers at RCCG Ikeja parish today

    As the harsh economic policy of the President Bola Tinubu administration gradually eradicates the Nigerian middle class, the Bridge parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) at the Lagos Airport Hotel, Ikeja, has announced that it would fill the fuel tanks of members who arrive at church by 8am on Sunday, July 30th.

    TheNewsGuru.com, (TNG) reports the parish is headed by Pastor Leke, the son of the RCCG General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.

    In the announcement floated by Leke on Saturday, vehicles whose tanks will be filled with petrol must come to the service “filled with people.”

    The cars must also remain in church until the end of church service by 11:30am.

    The gesture is designed at assisting members attend church services following the hike in fuel price occasioned by the Federal Government’s recent petrol subsidy removal.

    In his inaugural address on May 29, Tinubu had said “fuel subsidy is gone”, and subsequently promised to provide palliatives to cushion the effect on Nigerians.

    “I can assure you that I understand your pains and the pains of your uncles, brothers, your mums. I understand, I feel it. It is not easy to get out a monster of over 40 years that is called subsidy,” Tinubu said afterwards without drawing back on his decision.

    Amid the development, the governors have supported the president’s decision.

    Lately, the governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri rolled out over 100 cars in the state to assist residents in their movements.

    Some state governors had reduced number of days to show up at work and provided N10,000.00 to help cushion effect of the policy that is gradually turning Nigerians into corporate beggars.

    Why theological education is important to the society – Pastor Adeboye

    Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCCG), says theological education is very vital in correcting heresies and wrong doctrines in the society.

    Adeboye said this on Tuesday during the inauguration of new administrative building and chapel of RCCG Bible College main campus, Redemption Camp, Mowe, Ogun.

    Represented by Pastor Joseph Obayemi, National Overseer Emeritus, RCCG, Adeboye said theological education was necessary to guild and train up and coming pastors against wrong doctrine.

    “Theological education, such as ours is very vital to our society, especially in this end time when there is a lot of heresies and wrong doctrines in our society.

    “This happens when the up and coming pastors, who have no mentor will just climb the pulpit and say so many wrong things.

    “And because of the charisma and youthful exuberance, many will continue to follow them, but school like this can be used to guild them.
    “If they come for the training, we will teach them that there is difference between being charismatic, anointed by God or being matured spiritually.

    “Theological education open our eyes to see more rudiments of Christianity and not just anybody going to the pulpit to preach.

    “So, theological education is very necessary for our time and it will continue to be useful, even in the nearest future, ” he said.

    Adeboye also said that the new administrative building of the college was a reflection of the glory of God.

    In his remarks, Pastor Ezekiel Odeyemi, RCCG Continental Overseer, said the Bible college was an integral part of the church.

    Odeyemi said the college was crucial to the progress of the church and to maintain the integrity of the doctrine of the gospel.

    “The Bible college is an integral part of RCCG.

    “An expanding organisation like redeemed, required trained hands and so the college is crucial to our progress and to maintain the integrity of the doctrine and the gospel.

    “And that is the reason occasion like this makes us happy and show to us that the college is making progress and the people put in charge not disappointing us, ” he said.

    Also, Pastor Josiah Bolarinwa, the provost of the college, said the motivation behind the new building was the resolution of the board of governors to reposition the college to an affiliate of two recognised universities in Nigeria by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

    Bolarinwa, who noted that the construction of the building started on Oct. 19, 2017, said it was conceived to serve the immediate and future need of the college.

    He thanked the General Overseer and his wife for their financial, moral and spiritual support.
