Following the confusion trailing the reported resignation of Pastor
E A Adeboye as the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God (RCCG), the cleric was spotted officiating at the
Lagos state government annual thanksgiving.
The service which was held on Sunday, January 8, at the Lagos
House Ikeja, had in attendance the Lagos state governor,
Akinwunmi Ambode, his wife Mrs. Bolanle Ambode, Pastor Enoch
Adeboye and his wife Mrs. Foluke Adeboye.
Pastor Adeboye in his sermon,said for people to experience a
new beginning, they must be willing to follow God completely and
serve Him in truth and spirit.
While drawing his text from Exodus 3:1-8, Genesis 18:1-8 and
Mark 10:46-52 among others, Pastor Adeboye also admonished
Nigerians to leave the camp of the devil and embrace God’s
camp, as well as accept the invitation of God.
Speaking at the special Thanksgiving Service to usher in the New
Year held at the Lagos House in Ikeja, Governor Ambode thanked
spiritual leaders for their ceaseless prayers and wise counsel,
while urging Nigerians to continue to pray for the State, the
country and leaders in the country, especially to ensure a nation
that all would be proud of.
Reports had filtered in on Saturday, January 7, that Pastor Joseph
Obayemi is to become the new National Overseer of the church,
a position which was held by Pastor Adeboye.
It was gathered that the pastor actually appointed new officers to
take over the reins of affairs in Nigeria while he oversees as the
overall head.
