Arrangements have
been concluded to hold the 63rd convention of the world’s fastest
growing church, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
The annual event
is scheduled to hold from Monday 3rd August to Sunday August 9th,
2015 and the theme is “The All Sufficient God.”
They said that
Daddy Adeboye has promised that God wants to use the occasion to deliver the
oppressed, set the captiveS free, change sorrow to joy, poverty to riches,
failure to success and use it as another opportunity to bless the people of the
country generally.
The sources added
that the annual event will feature ordination, lectures, songs ministration,
Holy Communion service, deliverance programme, sermons amongst others.
The RCCG was
founded in 1952 by Reverend Josiah Akindayomi after he had been involved in
several other churches. In the early 1970s, Akindayomi started to look for an
educated successor, who was not at that time a member of the church. He chose
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Lagos, who
joined the church in 1973. Adeboye initially became one of the interpreters translating
Akindayomi’s sermons from Yoruba to English. He was ordained a pastor of the
church in 1975, and was formalized by the posthumous reading of Akindayomi’s
sealed pronouncement.
