Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has urged Nigerians to take precautionary measures against fire outbreaks, storms, and floods.
Speaking during the church’s February thanksgiving service at the Throne of Grace Parish, Ebute-Metta, Lagos, Pastor Adeboye stressed the need for vigilance and prayer in the face of potential disasters.
“At the beginning of this year, one of the prophecies was to pray against fire outbreaks, storms, and floods,” he said. “We’ve only spent one month, and we’ve already seen the rate of fire incidents across the world. Nigeria is part of the world, and we must be prayerful.”
He specifically warned farmers preparing their land for cultivation to avoid bush burning, as carelessness could lead to devastating consequences.
Delivering a sermon titled The Covenant-Keeping God, Pastor Adeboye reminded the congregation that obedience to God’s covenant ensures His faithfulness and blessings. He cited biblical examples and the testimony of RCCG’s late founder, who, despite lacking formal education, followed God’s instructions and saw the church grow globally.
Adeboye dismissed claims that RCCG’s expansion was due to his academic background, highlighting that many RCCG parishes exist in places he has never visited, including countries where church buildings are prohibited.
“There are people who pray and fast more than us, yet God has shown us extraordinary love. If you keep God’s covenant, He will make you His peculiar treasure,” he concluded.
