RCCG faithful celebrate Adeboye at 82
On Sunday, faithful of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) celebrated the general overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on his 82nd birthday.
Mr Adeboye, born March 2, 1942, has been described as a gospel revivalist and good home advocate for the contemporary generation.
The activities heralding the event commenced on Thursday, with an 82-hour non-stop praise by the church’s youth choir.
A special holy ghost and thanksgiving service was held along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway at the church’s Redemption Camp, Redemption City.
The congregation, however, thanked God for the gift of life of the pastor and prayed for good health and sustenance in his endeavours.
The event, with the theme ‘On Eagles’ Wings’, highlighted the pastor’s stride over the years in serving God and mankind.
The Redemption Camp hosted people worldwide who came to pay tribute to the clergy and appreciate him for his inspiring counsel.
Speaking on the birthday celebration, the head of the national ushers for the church, James Akinyemi, described Adeboye as one with the special covenant with God, adding that the celebrator has remained consistent in his calling.
“Daddy, just like good wine, gets better with age. We pray that in this year’s special Holy Ghost Service, God will give him the choicest birthday present,” he said.
An administrator at the camp, Kunle Ajayi, said Mr Adeboye had been a father to all, with many children carrying out his mandate of preaching the good news.
“It is our prayer that God gives him a fresh oil to triumph the more,” he said.
Some members presented gifts to show love to the pastor.
