General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, will be a guest of Vanguard newspapers on Thursday as he ministers at Vanguard Media Christian Fellowship end-of year thanksgiving, praise and worship programme.
Pastor Adeboye will be ministering on the topic: “Divine Success and Prophetic Breakthrough”, at Vanguard corporate head office in Kirikiri Canal, Apapa, Lagos by 11:00 am.
Meanwhile, Adeboye has mandated every member of the church resident in the country to ensure that they register for the forthcoming elections scheduled for early next year.
Addressing the mammoth crowd of worshippers at the just concluded 17th Holy Ghost Congress at the Redemption Camp, Pastor Adeboye also urged all the parishes of the church within and outside the country to make a special collection to alleviate the suffering of brethren in the North who are victims of terrorist and other violent attacks in the region.
According to the General Overseer, who adopted a more mathematical approach to his ministrations during the congress, it was expedient for every Nigerian of voting age to register and participate fully in next year’s electoral process by electing candidates of their choice, stressing that any Nigerian who desires a change must strive to acquire a voter’s card and must endeavour to register and vote at the elections.
He also said that RCCG pastors across the country had been mandated to demand members’ voters card on the first Sunday of January 2015 before the usual thanksgiving blessing would be pronounced on members of the church.
He said: “If you have to sleep at the local government office to enable you register and acquire the needed Permanent Voter’s Card, PVC, do so. It may be inconveniencing but it is imperative for you to get one. I have two cards here (displaying them) one of them is my own and the other belongs to my wife, and I am sure that my children have gotten their own.
“First Sunday of 2015, you must come to church with your voter’s card. We will check for compliance before we pronounce the usual blessings on that day.”
On terror victims
On the army of displaced persons in different parts of the country, the man of God said: “A lot of persons have been wounded by the series of violent crises in the northern region of the country. As a church, we have done our little bit by donating relief materials and cash to the victims but I want to give you all a platform for you to contribute your quota to make life a little comfortable for the displaced persons in parts of the country.
“If you want to contribute, please package your materials, money and whatever you want to give and send them to the nearest offices of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, for onward transmission to the victims,” he appealed to the army of Christian worshippers.
He repeated the announcement on Saturday, apparently to underscore the importance of the issue, noting that Christians should learn to be their brothers keepers by sending all donations to CAN branch offices across the country or the dedicated account of the Association.
