Prayers were daily offered for God’s intervention in the country at the ongoing 18th annual Holy Ghost Congress of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, as several eminent gospel ministers from various denominations led the daily expanding crowd of worshipers in supplication to intercede for the family, the church, leaders ,youth and the nation at large.
The president of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, (PFN), General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church, Worldwide, Prophet Kayode Abiara Rev. Felix Omobude, General Overseer, Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, Rev. Felix Meduoye, founder of the Fountain of Life Bible church, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya including the host of the annual Holy Ghost Congress, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye and his wife all on led the mammoth crowd to pray for peace and tranquility in the country and other nations of the world.
Praying for the nation, Pastor Folu Adeboye asked the congregations to appreciate God for His love and mercy over Nigeria and that God should release flood of righteousness and flush out activities of terrorists, unrest and other challenges confronting the giant of Africa. And that holiness, obedience to God and constituted authorities will reign among Nigerians for divine blessing and peace in the nation.
Mummy G.O also prayed for divine wisdom, knowledge for leaders praying that God will give them power to be faithful, fear God, lead aright, committed to their works having the love of the masses at the back of their minds.
Advising couples to honour and keep their marriage vows, Prophet Abiara while praying for the families explained that for peace to reign in the family, it is important for couples to adhere strictlyto their marriage vows.
Lamenting the high rate of divorce among couples, the man of God said there was need for the Church to pray for peace in families as peace experienced in individual families will transcend to the nation at large.
In his words: “God created man and woman and blessed them to have a wonderful and joyful home but due to sin, man lost that glory. There are cases where couples killed themselves, children disobedient to their parents while most of our youths engaged in social vices. All these were happening because we have departed from God. If we return to God, He will heal our families and we will experience peace like a river.”
Describing love as the bedrock of any marriage, Abiara asked couples to have genuine love for one another, learn to forgive and forget; adding that any of the couple who failed to forgive the wrong committed by his or her partner was wicked person.
In his special talk and prayer for the church, the General Overseer, Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, Rev. Felix Meduoye, told the worshippers that the Church, as a body of Christ, has lot of responsibilities on it, to show forth God’s light through preaching of the gospel, revealing God’s agenda for mankind, also as most powerful agent of change that God placed on earth, saying anything against such is a disappointment to God’s kingdom.
In his message titled : “Floodgate of Heaven, the general overseer of the church, Pastor Adeboye said God did not have to create new windows and gates for Him to pour His blessings saying heaven has gates and windows.
Highlighting five things that would happen when God open windows of heaven, Pastor Adeboye said: “stagnation will end and progress will start, destitution becomes abundance, the hopeless begins to sing a new song, the siege will be over and God will cause once enemies to hear a noise and they will scatter.”
The cleric however noted that floodgate of heaven will only open for those who serve God faithfully with their might and also propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ, “God will not waste His blessings on those who will not use it for His glory, God will only prosper those who will be divine treasurer” he said.
Pastor Adeboye explained that sin, unforgiveness, not having right perspective for getting breakthrough, laziness in place of prayer, failure to preach the gospel among others are some of the obstacles that hinder prayers.
Some of the dignitaries that attended the Friday Holy Ghost Congress are Vice president of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo with his wife, Ondo state governor, His excellency, Olusegun Mimiko, Lagos state governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, The wife of the deputy governor of Kogi State, Mrs. Tokunbo Awoniyi, Bayelsa state governor’s wife, Mrs. Rachel Dickson.
