The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged Christians, particularly members of his congregation, to offer prayers to avert new conflicts, both within and beyond the nation’s borders.
During the 71st Annual Convention Friday Holy Ghost Service, held at the church’s headquarters in Mowe, Ogun State, which began on August 7 and will conclude on August 13 under the theme ‘Beyond Expectations,’ Adeboye emphasized the need for prayers against the emergence of fresh conflicts.
He stressed that Nigeria is already grappling with various challenges like kidnapping, terrorism, and violence, and it is crucial to seek divine intervention to prevent additional strife.
Thousands of worshippers from around the world connected online to join the service and listen to Adeboye’s message, which is an annual tradition.
In an impassioned prayer session, Pastor Adeboye exclaimed, “Our desire is to overcome the battles we’re currently facing, not to encounter new ones – whether from within our nation or beyond.”
He encouraged those who advocate for peace in all segments of society to stand and fervently pray, saying, “Let us entreat our heavenly Father for mercy upon Nigeria, especially for the sake of us, His children.
I implore each one of you to engage in prayer, for God’s answers to our supplications remain steadfast.
Do not lose heart, for a brighter tomorrow is ahead.
Stay focused and undeterred. Nigeria continues to rely heavily on our collective prayers.”
Adeboye also urged his congregation to pray against the malevolent activities orchestrated by the devil in the nation.
He emphasized the importance of thwarting the devil’s intentions, so as to protect the reputation of God and prevent innocent lives from being led astray.
During the course of the service, Adeboye announced a heartwarming update, revealing that a remarkable 62 babies had been delivered by mothers at the convention grounds, with an even split of 31 females and 31 males.
Additionally, he shared exciting news about the upcoming month’s Holy Ghost Service, which will be dedicated to those who are seeking divine intervention for fertility.
He expressed his anticipation for an abundance of twins, triplets, and more, highlighting that God’s blessings are boundless and never limited by the size of the cup.
