The Wife of the General Overseer of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Foluke Adeboye, has called on
members of RCCG, and Christians in general, to reflect true Christianity
in whatever they do.
Speaking during the 2017 Power
Conference of the Firstborn Family, tagged, ‘The Turning Point’’, the
G.O’s wife said Christians should make impact on the society in which
they live, get involved in Christian social responsibilities, live godly
lives and allow their homes to be influenced by God.
“Let our Christian
lives reflect in whatever we do. You may be a cleaner, it doesn’t
matter who you are. At the end of the day, you shall be judged by your
work. Every man’s work shall be judged.
Whoever you are and whatever you
are doing now is not what God is interested in, it is what you do and
how you do it and whether your Christianity is reflecting in whatever
you are doing or not.”
Speaking further, the G.O’s wife said,
“God will not have allowed RCCG to grow for nothing. We want to see a
drastic change to righteousness in this nation.
We want this nation to
be turned around to a point where Christianity will make a lead, so that
the unbelievers will know that we have a living God.”
Congratulating the parish for organising
an event of such magnitude, Mummy G.O stressed that God does not do
anything without a purpose, adding, “If God has planted RCCG as a church
in Nigeria, and He is watering it to grow as it is today, it means
therefore that God is expecting something from its members.”
She enjoined therefore that the RCCG and
Christians in general must make impact on the society wherever they
find themselves, adding, “Let God be a witness to our Christian living
in all our homes – husbands and wives should live in harmony, possessing
the spirit of the living God and professing the power of the Almighty
God; in all our offices, whether you are the boss or not, wherever God
has placed you in the position of influence, our impact must be felt in
this nation as true born again Christians.
We don’t want to be many
without having impacts in our nations and our entire environments.
This
is very important at this crucial time for us because we can see what is
happening daily. Thousands are going home daily. I pray that when it is
our own time, we shall not miss heaven.”
The General Overseer RCCG, Pastor Enoch
Adeboye, who mounted the podium immediately after his wife’s admonition,
also urged Nigerians to return to God, so that the country would
overcome its challenges. Daddy G.O, as he is popularly called, stressed
that there was hope for a brighter future for the nation if only
Nigerians will return to God. He urged citizens to embrace the path of
righteousness so that there would be manifestation of God’s glory.
“The price is simply that you do that
which was required of you and that is by returning to Him urgently. If
you are up the mountain and you want to keep staying at the mountain
top, be holy, be God’s partner, join hands in doing His work, and abide
by his words. If you fulfil this part of the bargain, He will surely
heal and show you the way upward,’’ he added.
Speaking on the significance of the
event, the Regional Pastor, Region 19, the First Born Family and Special
Assistant to the General Overseer on Missions, Pastor Brown Oyitso said
the programme put together by the First Born Family was an annual event
to mark the birth of a model church of the RCCG.
“We are the family of the First Born
because we are the first model parish that that G.O started when he
joined the RCCG. When he joined, he met a vernacular speaking kind of
church and he wanted the church to go beyond the confines of western
Nigeria because the founder of the church had told him that this church
was going to become international and so God gave Daddy Adeboye the
vision to set up a model parish made up of young, vibrant and educated
people as opposed to the traditional church that he met.”
Oyitso noted
that the theme for the programme was prophetic as he very much believed
that there is going to be a turning point for Nigeria, where things will
begin to change for better.
An overwhelming number of RCCG members,
including Christians from other denominations, attended the special
service held at the TBS, Onikan, Lagos.
