The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged Nigerians to place their trust in what he described as a “Divine Insurance Policy” with God, particularly in the face of rising insecurity across the country.

Adeboye made the appeal during a sermon at the church’s monthly Thanksgiving and special prayer service for the transportation sector and their families, held at the RCCG national headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos.

Drawing from Psalm 91, he described the scripture as a covenant of protection, security and longevity for believers, stressing that genuine safety is not rooted in human policies or assurances.

The service, themed “Divine Insurance,” was attended by leaders in the transportation industry, church members and students of Redeemer’s College of Technology and Management (RECTEM).

“A human insurance policy has limits, but the divine insurance from God provides a complete, heavenly shield,” Adeboye said, adding that true security is found in God’s presence, which offers refuge from danger and calamity.

He explained that God’s protection extends beyond the scope of human institutions, providing peace of mind, restful sleep and inner satisfaction.

“You cannot call an insurance company and ask, ‘How much should I pay to sleep well at night?’ They will tell you they don’t cover that. But my God does,” he said.

Adeboye, however, noted that access to what he described as divine protection is conditional, stating that it is reserved for God’s children and requires a life of holiness, obedience and faithful service.

“There is a premium for this divine insurance. If you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God and follow His commands, you have no reason to worry. God promises not only to cover you but to bless you abundantly,” he said.

He urged believers to turn away from sin and remain committed to God’s will in order to remain under what he described as heavenly protection.

Speaking to journalists after the service, the General Overseer’s Special Assistant on Administration, Pastor Oladele Balogun, said insecurity is often viewed solely as a governance issue, but added that safety also has a spiritual dimension.

He illustrated his point with the account of a woman who avoided travelling by road due to fear of accidents, only to be struck by a vehicle outside her home.

“The concept of divine insurance addresses the fear that affects daily life,” Balogun said. “Many people hesitate to travel, but under God’s cover, it does not matter whether you move by day or night—you will be secure.”

Balogun also linked national security to societal values, noting that vices such as bloodshed, deceit and corruption undermine spiritual protection.

“That is why I call on Nigerians to return to God. Let us reject evil, wickedness and sin. When we turn to God and obey His will, we remain under His divine protection,” he said.

The General Overseer, The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has assured every Nigerian that trusts in the true and living God to stand on the assurance that no matter the state of the economy that has led to what they are passing through, they should not be moved as certainly, there will be victory at last because they are not here on earth by accident.

Adeboye, a thoroughbred and a great scholar, who holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics, debunked the teaching of science and the theory of evolution, unequivocally assured that man is the offspring of the Supreme God, the truth to which the entire creation testifies.

The clergy ministered during the monthly thanksgiving service at the RCCG headquarters, The Throne of Grace, Ebute-Metta, on the theme, ‘From Waiting to Winning,’ and prayed for singles, matured singles (male/female), waiting mothers, expectant mothers and their families. 

Adeboye also assured that God, by His power, has the prerogative to fast-forward anything, explaining that what is meant to happen in future can be made to happen now by Him.

Juxtaposing God’s ability to fast-track future promises, Adeboye also warned of the necessity to imbibe the nature of patience, not to run ahead of God but patiently wait for Him because He is never too late.

Quoting from the scriptures, the clergy admonished those who are privileged to have been promised one thing or the other by   God to patiently wait for Him who will never fail.

He assured the singles that he prayed for, to start preparing for their wedding.

The Special Assistant to the General Overseer (Administration), who doubles as the Pastor in charge of the Region, Dele Balogun, called on Nigerians to shun evil ways, including corruption, kidnapping and practising of those things that are ungodly.

“My further counsel to every Nigerian is, do away with pretence and hypocrisy because God does not look at the face and mere action but the heart. 

“I admonish Nigerians to believe God, trust Him, and He will show up for them.  Our waiting time is over in this nation,” he said.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called on Nigerians to remain steadfast in prayer, urging believers not to relent in their intercession for the nation and its leaders.

He made this call recently, during the monthly thanksgiving service and special prayers for security and paramilitary personnel held at RCCG’s national headquarters, Ebute-Metta, Lagos.

The event was graced by top officials in Nigeria’s security architecture, including representatives of the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2, AIG Fayoade; Deputy Controller, Ikoyi Passport Office; Captain BME Ajayi representing the Chief of Defense Staff; and the Command Chaplain, Western Naval Command.

In his message titled “Shadow of the Almighty”, Pastor Adeboye emphasised the supremacy of God over the affairs of men. Drawing from Psalm 91 and Proverbs 18:10, he spoke about God’s protective shadow over His people and encouraged all in attendance to put their trust in the name of Jesus as a strong tower.

“If we were to stop praying for just one week, the nation would feel the impact. The church must never stop praying,” he said.

He illustrated his sermon with several faith-lifting testimonies, including that of a young girl miraculously saved from a fatal car accident simply by shouting the name of Jesus.

“When trouble hits suddenly, what comes out of your mouth first is what has been stored in your heart. That name, Jesus, saved her from death,” he said.

Adeboye also recalled a cancer healing testimony involving a family friend who was scheduled to undergo removal of her voice box but was supernaturally healed following prayers and divine intervention.

He noted that the power of God was not restricted by geography or crisis. “The Almighty still rules in the affairs of men. His name is a shield. His shadow is a hiding place,” he added.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged young people to remain focused, hardworking, diligent, and prayerful, describing these virtues as essential ingredients for achieving greatness in life.

Adeboye said this recently during the RCCG’s monthly thanksgiving service at The Throne of Grace headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos.

 Adeboye, in a sermon titled ‘Exceedingly Great,’ offered prayers for students across all levels—ranging from secondary school pupils to higher institution students, including candidates for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exams, and those seeking admission locally and abroad.

He emphasised that to attain greatness, especially the kind described as “exceedingly great, young people must stay focused, work hard, maintain diligence, and remain prayerful.

“In God’s plan, there is no impossibility, especially when you belong to Him by surrendering your life to Jesus. Once you’ve done that, your destiny is to be exceedingly great,” Adeboye said.

However, he cautioned that meeting the spiritual requirement is just the beginning. “You can’t afford to relax after that. Keep working hard and stay prayerful.  Slacking off leads to disappointment and frustration because, even in heaven, there’s no room for laziness.”

Highlighting the importance of having a clear vision early in life, Adeboye noted that while greatness has no age limit, it is best pursued with purpose and direction from youth.

He illustrated his point with the biblical story of Jacob, who became exceedingly great by being focused, diligent, hardworking, and prayerful.

Adding to the message, Pastor Dele Balogun, Special Assistant to the General Overseer (Admin) and Pastor in charge of Region One, encouraged the youths to put Adeboye’s advice into practice, reaffirming that diligence and focus are keys to becoming exceedingly great.
