Despite rave criticisms that greeted the planned
construction of a three kilo-meter auditorium at
the Redeemed Christian Church of God’s
Redemption Camp along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway,
the General Overseer of the church Sunday
disclosed that the said auditorium and several other
developments in the church are but a child’s play.
Speaking during a special prayer programme organised for
RCCG Region 1 for youths and newly ordained ministers in the
church at the church headquarters in Ebute Metta Lagos, the
former mathematics lecturer said the church is founded on
God’s covenant, and therefore its current growth cannot be
comprehended by human wisdom.
Giving hint of changes to expect in the church, he said: “A day
is coming in my lifetime when the ordination of ministers will be
divided into three sessions, morning, afternoon and evening
sessions and more than 25,000 persons will be ordained in
each of the sessions. You can say the dreamer has come
again, but I know my dreams always turn to true”.
Continuing, Daddy G.O. said: “RCCG was not be built on human
wisdom or ability. The last time I was at Malaysia we had but a
house fellowship; but today there are 45 parishes of the
church. One bishop said they should give him five years and he
would leave RCCG far behind; I smiled and I said he will soon
discover the difference between human wisdom and divine
assistance because we have God on our side”.
Admonishing Nigerian youths, Pastor Adeboye said they must
not to be carried away by materialism and new generation
churches, stressing that RCCG is founded on the foundation
of God.
He prayed that the youths will have a glorious future but they
should shun sin, and engage in evangelism and in return God will
bless them.
In his words: “Youths in the Redeemed Christian Church of
God, don’t be dazzled by the new age generation churches,
this is the church founded on the foundation of the Most High
God. Redeemed youths do not be bothered about those who
are going around with diverse miracles and gymnastics.
“You will have a glorious tomorrow and I will use part of it
before I go even after I have gone the real glory of RCCG will
be revealed. It is where I stop that you will begin. You cannot
dwell in sin because He is a holy God and if you want goodness
and mercy to follow you all the days of your life, you better be
holy. You cannot afford to follow the world and still expect
God to be your support-er,” he said.
According to him, “people said all manner of things about me
when we began, called me a bush boy, old fashioned and all
sorts of things.
The modern ones, they rose like a balloon but the balloon
punctured but I told them that the God I serve is conservative;
the same yesterday, today and forever. If you abide under His
everlasting arm, He will guide you forever.”
