62nd annual convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God, RCCG, on account of the growing concern for deadly Ebola
Virus Disease, EVD, the event successfully came to a
spectacular end, yesterday, with the ordination of 1,125 men
and women as full pastors.
Pastor D.A Ilori, an Assistant General Overseer and a retired
member of Governing Council of the church illustrated this
point, yesterday, at the closing ceremony of the convention. He
said this year’s convention had been the best since the
establishment of the church in 1952 despite all odds.
Called upon to usher in the first family to flag off the
thanksgiving service at the closing ceremony, Pastor Ilori
commended the faith, determination and courage of Pastor and
Pastor (Mrs.) Adeboye, saying “we never had it so good, so
excellent as this. May God honour you and shower more
anointing to enable you overcome all the challenges of
leadership.”
Pastor Ilori alluded to the clamour of people to either stop or
postpone the convention because of a possible outbreak of the
dreaded Ebola Virus Disease, saying that God is in control. He
extolled the virtues of all the “assistant general overseers,
special assistants and all those who had been holding the
hands of our Daddy. May the good Lord uphold you till the
end.”
The convention which started last Monday with the ordination
of 8,622 deacons and deaconesses to assist the church
leadership manage the astronomical growth within the last
couple of years, yesterday featured a very colourful farewell
service with the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye,
leading his biological and spiritual family in thanksgiving to
God for the success of the programme.
Earlier, Mummy G.O. led a band of few senior pastors to anoint
more than 1,000 men and women as pastors in the mission
after the proclamation by Daddy G.O. himself: “I anoint you
pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God in the name of
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. By this
anointing, anything you….”
After the ordination, Special Assistant to the G.O. on
Administration and Personnel and new member of the church’s
Governing Council, Pastor Johnson Odesola preached the only
sermon of the day entitled, “The seal of God”, outlining some of
the benefits of the seal to include deliverance, protection and
preservation, guarantee the fatherhood of God and assurance of
making Heaven.
