The star attraction of the 17th annual Holy Ghost Congress of
the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, which will be attended by
millions of persons from across the globe holds today.
It is known as
the Holy Ghost Service, where the Great Shepherd, is expected to meet
with His sheep and take them to the miraculous in readiness for a
positive 2015.
Apart from prayers which have been offered for different segments of the nation’s economy, there
will be special intercessions for the nation, apparently to avert the
security challenges currently plaguing the country, as well as seek
God’s intervention especially in line with predictions of a possible
break up of Nigeria by next year.
As at 6.00 p.m. yesterday the sprawling Redemption Camp was already
swarming with men, women, boys and girls milling about every available
space in the compound.
A source close to the leadership of the
church told our reporters last night that the church had made adequate
arrangement to host as many persons who are willing to be part of this
year’s congress, adding that security personnel are collaborating with
the church’s Team Nehemiah to maintain free flow of traffic on the
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The church has assured all those
travelling on the road to obey the new traffic arrangement put in place
by the security operatives who are saddled with the responsibility of
maintaining law and order on the road, stressing that the church had
created more parking lots within the camp ground to accommodate
participants.
For today’s event, the church authorities have,
therefore, appealed to all those willing to participate to make it early
to avoid the usual rush and the unavoidable congestion and pressure on
the busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye appealed
to Nigerians to take advantage of the programme, saying that this year’s
event promises to be quite remarkable as “ we celebrate the Great
Shepherd Himself – His goodness, His love and His faithfulness…Whatever
your situation, He is present and already to meet you at the very point
of your need.”
