  • Adeboye preaches righteousness

    General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye has urged Christians to embrace righteousness.

    Adeboye spoke yesterday at the ‘2012 Lets Go A-Fishing’, a soul-winning project of the church.

    He said when the faithful embrace righteousness, they would be able to attract God’s favour.

    The programme, with the theme: ‘Highly Favoured’ was organised by the RCCG National Headquarters at the centre for Management Development, Shangisha, Lagos.

    He said any nation with the fear of God and filled with righteousness, would earn Gods’ favour.

    Pastor Adeboye said:“When God decides to favour you, it does not matter where you are, the favour of God will surely locate you. Once the favour of God locates you, it changes your destiny, you will get to the top and the blessing will flow to others. When God decides to favour you, you are empowered, it turns you into anointing and it brings you in contact with greatness. When God decided to favour David, He gave him power.’’

     

  • Adeboye prays for police officers

    The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has declared a day of special prayer for members of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

    The special prayer session, tagged ‘I will defend this nation’, holds at the Headquarters’ Church of the RCCG, Throne of Grace Parish, Ebute-Metta, Lagos, on November 4 by 8.00am.

    Adeboye said God must intervene in the security sector of the nation, saying police officers should be held up in prayers instead of being castigated.

    According to him: ‘’ There is the need for spiritual intervention in solving the problems. We need the intervention of God in this matter. We must pray for the police because they are the security operatives entrusted with maintaining laws and order in the society.

    “They are closer to the populace than any of the security operatives or agencies in the country. Judging from the look of things, it is only the police that are entrusted by government with combating crime and other evil occurrences in the society.’’

    Adeboye, represented by his spokesman, Pastor Goke Aniyeloye, said: “We are inviting all the Nigerian police officers and men, particularly in the south-west and south-south states because we are considering the space. “
