The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has emphasised the importance of focus and fervent prayers.
Pastor Adeboye said this at the 27th Holy Ghost Congress of the RCCG, themed ”Onward Christian Soldiers”, which commenced on Monday night at the Redemption Camp with an impressive turnout of worshippers.
In his welcome address, Pastor Adeboye said, “Pay attention to every message. Pray like never before. The Lord has promised a Congress that will propel us forward spiritually, physically, emotionally, and materially. Are you ready to play your part?.”
Pastor Adeboye reflected on the challenges of 2024, expressing gratitude for God’s preservation and urging worshippers to embrace their roles as soldiers in Christ’s army.
“This Congress is different, as reflected in the theme, Onward Christian Soldiers. It is both a call and a charge—to those already in the Lord’s army and those ready to join. Are you prepared to march forward with Him leading the way?” he asked.
The opening service featured vibrant praise and worship sessions led by the RCCG All Stars and the church’s over 2,000-member mass choir. These extended moments of gratitude and worship set the tone for the Congress.
The General Overseer's message, “Praise as a Weapon of Warfare,” underscored the power of gratitude in achieving spiritual victories.
“Praise is a weapon of warfare. When you praise God for what He has done, He will do more. Without gratitude, future battles may not see divine intervention. Life is warfare—the winner takes it all, while the loser loses it all,” he said.
He assured worshippers that consistent praise lays a foundation for lasting victories.
“If you praise God continually, He will arise for you. Satan, who has defeated many mighty men and women over centuries, will flee when he sees God backing you. Tonight, as we praise, the foundation for your victory in life is being laid,” he added.
The Holy Ghost Congress, which began in 1998 with the historic Lekki 98 gathering, has since evolved into a major annual event, drawing worshippers from across the globe.
“This year’s Congress promises to build on its legacy, offering participants a unique opportunity to renew their faith, hear God’s voice, and strengthen their spiritual journey”, Pastor Adeboye said.
