Highlight of RCCG 65th Annual Convention - Hallelujah

The just concluded annual 65th convention of the redeemed christian church of God was filled with praise and worship to the Almighty.

The convention practiced a replica of what had happens years ago by the Israelite. Thousands of years ago,the Israelite walked round the wall of Jericho with a victorious song,walking round it 7 times was also repeated at the redeemed christian church of God on Thursday.

The General overseer said the reenactment was targeted at breaking the hold of the devil during the prayer session at the Redemption Camp.It was discovered that walls was broken down after the walk.

Pastor E.A Adeboye says he knows that the congregation believes in him,and he would have loved them to sing praises and dancing to the Almighty but the lord told him to do something special,which left the entire congregation wondering what it was. Pastor E.A Adeboye, reminded his congregation of an a testimony which delivered people home and abroad of their bondage,but sounded ridiculous when he told them at first,but because he obeys all what God tells him to do,it turned out to be a miracle at the end.

His testimony: “Many people may recall when God told me to wear seven different garments (agbada), dance for five minutes, lay the garments on the altar and ask people to come and touch them to receive their miracles

People know I don’t like wearing agbada, and nowhere is it written in the Bible that thou shall wear seven garments and shall dance for five minutes and then lay them on the altar, but He spoke to me and I heard Him. So I had to obey. I did what He asked me to do. He also gave me specific instructions to tell the people to only touch and not hold the clothes.

“Do you understand?” he asked members of the congregation.

“Yes,” They answered

A certain young man among the crowd went contrary to the instruction and held the garments. He must have thought, “My problems are many, touching will not suffice.”What happened after was that the power of God grabbed him. He began to shake from that point in the morning till 5 pm. It wasn’t until I was summoned to pray for him that God released him.Months later, I took the permission of God to take one of the agbada for ministration overseas. I laid it on the altar and urged people to touch it for miracles. There was a white man in the congregation who thought it was childish, but later he decided that since everybody was going to the altar he better join them. He did, touched the agbada, and according to his testimony later, the back pain he had for years disappeared.”

Pastor E.A Adeboye,made sure he was assured that the congregation ‎was convinced, he asked that people did a circular walk in the limited spaces they had as he counted from one to seven. After the seventh, the church’s music instrumentalists were to blow trumpets for the church to shout Hallelujah as the Israelite did.

For most people, that was not going to be a problem so long as Pastor Adebayo, noted for signs, wonders and miracles, led them.

Promptly, the exercise begun, but at the sixth round, some people shouted Hallelujah. He let it pass for the exercise to be completed, after which he explained the premature shout of Halleluyah was from the devil inside the few people who shouted that came out.

He then asked for a repeat of the seventh round after which the trumpets blared for a thunderous shout of Hallelujah and continues praise of the Lord by a joyous congregation. ‎The auditorium was full to capacity.What was called a deliverance service, started as usual, with songs of praise.‎

Pastor Adeboye’s ministration on Friday dwelt on destiny, which he defined as God’s plan for individuals. Citing Bible back-ups, he explained that God’s plan is a good one, and like every good builder, He builds or develops individuals according to the plan which was made even before their parents met.

Using the example of Joshua, whose assignment, according to the Bible, was to continue from where Moses stopped, he took the Israelites to the Promised Land but had to face the Wall of Jericho, he also explained that for every major assignment in life there is a Wall of Jericho.

Hundreds of people responded to his alter call for salvation,after he reminded the congregation that God will only play his part in one’s destiny if the individual retains a healthy relationship with Him, or ran back to him when he has strayed.

As at 6 pm Thursday, a total of 61 babies -35 boys and 26 girls – had been born at the church’s medical facility on the Camp.

Ministers from different denomination was also present at these 65th annual convention.Notable ones present are bishop oyedepo,Rev.Jeo Olaiya,just to mention a few.

It was a great convention and testimonies where shared by the congregation who witnessed the wonders of the lord in their life.
