As the people of Oyo State gear up for this year’s Christmas celebration, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, will lead a special crusade in three major cities of the state.
They are Ibadan, Iseyin and Ogbomoso.
The special crusade is part of the cleric’s Go-A-Fishing programme for the season as organised by Region 21 of the popular Pentecostal church. The programme is themed: Fullness of Time.
He will lead the crusade on December 23, beginning with Ibadan, the state capital, at Liberty Stadium (7:00 am), NYSC Orientation Camp, Iseyin (8:00 am) and Ogbomoso (9:00 am).
Revealing this while addressing reporters at the Ibadan regional headquarters of the church, the pastor in charge of the region, C.A.F. Obasa, said Adeboye would seize the opportunity to pray for the governor and his cabinet members as well as the entire people of the state.
Obasa pointed out that the annual programme was organised in keeping faith with the ‘great commission’ which is to reach all nations for Christ bringing good tidings to all and sundry. He disclosed that Adeboye comes for the event once every two years.
His words: “The programme is (Pastor Adeboye’s) one of the first outings after the Holy Ghost Congress of 2019. So, Oyo State is very fortunate indeed. Pastor Adeboye will pray for the government and people of Oyo State.
“He will decree safe landing into 2020; he will minister to the sick and the weak, businesses, youths and students at Liberty Stadium, Ibadan; NYSC Camp, Iseyin and Ogbomoso High School, Ogbomoso. Christians are not expected to sit in the comfort of their churches.
“When Christians go silent, it gives a cause for concern. We are not to go silent; we are expected to evangelise daily. One-on-one evangelism has to be intensified.”
In each of the venues, the G. O. is expected to pray for peace and progress of the state and the people.
The RCCG, Region 21 comprises 13 provinces in Ibadan, and one each in Ogbomoso, Oyo and Iseyin.
