The 63rd annual convention of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God, RCCG, with a theme, “The All-Sufficient
God”, comes to a fitting end today with the promotion of
1,184 assistant pastors to the rank of pastors to feel gaps
created by the phenomenal growth of the church across the
nations of the world.
The number of pastors this year is slightly higher than the
figure of 1,125 of last year and their ordination and a charge
by a senior minister signals the end of the convention which
General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God,
RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye recently reminded
Nigerians that when the church was still very small he
predicted that it would play host to presidents and big time
leaders but his listeners’ response was subdued.
“I moved further to say that God said presidents will be
members of the church. They will be ushers but the
members then found it difficult to swallow that but mark my
words, whenever God speaks, the Holy Spirit sanctioned it”,
he said matter of factly at a recent Church programme
subtly telling doubting Thomases that those prophecies are
already manifesting.
One of the highpoints of this year’s annual convention of the
church tagged; “The All-Sufficient God” were two
remarkable testimonies given by two high profile officials of
government, giving credence to the fact that the church’s
influence is waxing stronger and stronger. Recall that
current Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is a
senior pastor with the church.
Major General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin, Nigeria’s 16th
Chief of Defence Staff and Benue State governor, Deacon
Samuel Ortom who attended the Holy Ghost service of the
convention in company of the Vice President and the Ondo
State governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, gave testimonies of
how their respective elevations were products of Pastor
Adeboye’s prophetic utterances. Whereas the chairman
Joint Chiefs of Staff’s recent elevation was prophesied by
Adeboye at the July Holy Ghost service on July 3 and his
appointment was announced 10 days after, that of Ortom
was a direct prayer from the man of God.
“In May Holy Ghost service, our Vice President, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo thanked the Lord for victory during the general
elections. In June Holy Ghost service, the executive
governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode was also
here to bless God for victory. In July Holy Ghost service
during Daddy’s ministration, he declared that somebody’s
level was about to change and I am here to announce that
the prophecy was fulfilled in my life. I am here to bless the
name of the Lord because He has changed my level,” the
CDS testified.
Ortom’s testimony was as intriguing as it was inspiring. He
was written off in 1979 when he dropped out of school in
Form Four, worked in a motor park but managed to upgrade
himself educationally before delving into the murky waters
of politics and rose through the ranks. He resigned his
ministerial appointment after Pastor Adeboye prayed for
him ending the supplication, saying “my testimony was that
in 1979, I dropped out of school in Form Two. At the same
time, I met the All Sufficient God. Today through tutorials
and distance learning, I have a Ph.D.
“I started working in motor park as motor park tout but
through the grace of God, I went through series of
leadership positions at the local, state and federal levels; the
recent one was being a Minister of State for Trade and
Industry. Before contesting the last election, I came to the
camp with my pastor for God’s direction and I was asked to
go ahead. I told Daddy Adeboye about my intention and he
prayed for me, and I still remember the last statement of our
daddy. He said: ‘God give me a testimony that May 29, 2015
that my son will be sworn in as the governor of Benue state.’
After passing through various trials, he usually told me that
all will be well and today I am the governor of Benue State,”
he narrated.
There were several mind boggling testimonies of the
goodness of God in the lives of people. Ekiti State House of
Assembly Speaker, Pastor Kola Oluwawole also traced his
latest success in politics to his association with the ministry
of pastor Adeboye, saying: “The journey of my life in politics
as a pastor started 15 years ago. Exactly eight years ago, I
contested a primary election, I won but the ticket was taken.
But I remember that Daddy Adeboye said that God is aware
of our tribulations; God is with us and that at the end of the
journey there will be victory. I contested again and to the
glory of Lord, on June 5, 2015, I was elected the Speaker of
Ekiti State House of Assembly.”
Deaconess Oguntade Grace from Lagos Province 22 also
declared: “I have been waiting on the Lord for 20 years for
the fruit of the womb but last year Daddy G.O. came to our
Province 22 in Ikorodu and publicly express surprise as he
was not scheduled to visit another church. “Immediately, I
told my husband that Daddy was there for our miracle and
shortly after the visit, the womb that doctors said cannot
carry a pregnancy carried, not only one, but twins. This is
marvelous work of the Lord in my family.”
Brother Olubunmi Ayodele’s aunty was also delivered of a
set of twins after 16 years of years of barrenness. “I came
to the 2014 convention with a prayer request on behalf of
my aunty who has been looking for the fruit of the womb for
the past 16 years. I prayed at the auditorium altar and God
instructed me to walk round the camp seven times and I
was afraid if I could do it but God helped me. Few months
after she got pregnant and delivered twins.”
Mrs. Treasure Bello from Delta Province 4 said: “As a
teenager, I was possessed by marine spirit but because I
renounced and rejected them when I gave my life to Jesus
Christ, they tormented me, made me deaf, dumb and
paralyzed. My parish pastor came to me, prayed for me and
I vomited two keys and since that day I was totally
delivered.”
One other feature of Friday’s miracle service was the prayer
for all nations of the world especially nations passing
through crises and various socio-political challenges, which
was handled by the wife of the General Overseer, Pastor
Folu Adeboye. The woman of God said Nigeria is lacking
lots of things due to sin and that without the help of the All
Sufficent God, the giant of Africa can do nothing and
therefore urged the congregation to pray against the plagues
of sin, corruption, darkness working against the progress of
the country.
Leaders occupying place of authority including kings were
not left out in the prayer, as the people prayed for divine
wisdom and knowledge for the nation’s leaders to rule
according to God’s instruction so that Nigeria can move
from obscurity to greatness.
“Lord let Your light shine wherever darkness is hibernating
in our nation, we cancel any iota of darkness, we challenge
them in Jesus’ name. Those in authority from the kings to
our president, we concel any power that will not allow them
to do God’s will. We pray they will rule with the fear of God
for us to live abundant lives, have more than enough so that
our nation can move forward and attain her greatness. We
are tired of stagnation. God open the gates of heaven and
let there be rain of peace and joy.”
Also speaking at the convention, Rev. Joe Olaiya of Living
Faith Foundation who preached at one of plenary sessions
told our reporter in an interview that Nigeria needs faith and
love to overcome the current challenges. Said he: “We need
faith, love and truth. Have faith in God. What you want to do
to others make sure it is what you want people to do to you.
Be truthful and fair. Once we do that, we won’t have
problems in life.
“The challenge is that the Church must know that the signs
of the last days are complete, with the gay factor being
acceptable to leaders of the world, it just shows that the
days of Sodom and Gomorrah are here. If you want to
know, judgment and rapture are close at hand. It’s better
for the Church to wake up and get its harvest and be ready,”
Olaiya stated.
Before his main message titled, “The All-Sufficient God”,
Pastor Adeboye announced to the mammoth crowd of
worshippers that 81 babies had been delivered during the
convention, 41 of them being male and the rest 40 females.
He maintained that “God is sufficient for all our needs;
physical needs because He is the God of all flesh if only we
believe in Him. He is more than sufficent for material,
emotional, needs. He is the only One who has the ability to
promote man, He can pick someone from the dunghill and
set him among princes in the palace. He is able to save to
the uttermost end, He also has the ability to pick the worst
person to be an Apostle of the gospel.”
One of the expectations of worshippers was to host the
convention at the new Arena but Pastor Adeboye told the
participants that it was not ready due to the paucity of funds
and appealled to his friends, children and supporters to
support him to complete of the 9 kilometre square Arena
located at Simawa area of Ogun State.
“The new arena is yet to be completed because there is no
money. All the people that promised big money have not
shown up and I believe they will show up one day,” Daddy
G.O. said, adding “for the first time in my life, I am almost
becoming a begger. I have never asked for offering online. I
did not know how to do fine bara, it is just circumstances
beyond my control.”
Adeboye went ahead to appeal for more support for the
project, stressing that God will keep on providing for the
needs of the congregation and expressed optimism that the
arena will be available for use during the December Holy
Ghost congress.

To God alone be the Glory
