RCCG General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has implored Christians to stop doubting God, the highly revered Cleric shared an amazing testimony at the Redemption Camp during the September edition of the Holy Ghost Service.
“Don’t doubt God. The same God that said to my Father-In-The-Lord (the founder of the church, who was illiterate) that I will give you a Church that will go round the world. Ordinarily, how was that possible?” he asked.
“Today, RCCG is in 197 countries.”

From his personal experience, he said way back in 1961, he gave a small gift to a prophet, who prophesied that one day he would be travelling overseas like someone going to the market.
Pastor Adeboye recalled that, “it was at a time that if anyone in my village travelled abroad, the whole village would gather to dance to welcome him. That time I didn’t even know Ikeja, Lagos, but today the prophecy has been fulfilled”.
He also shared the testimony of God’s promise of the Redemption Camp when he was begging Him for a flat in Mushin, where he lived in a one-room apartment as General Overseer.
“Prior to becoming the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, I was the head of Department of Mathematics at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. I was living in a mansion with a two-bedroom guest quarters. I also had servants’ quarters with four bedrooms. All these were not part of the main house.
“But when I became the General Overseer, I had to live in a one-room apartment at Mushin (a relatively poor suburb in Lagos). I left my wife and children in Ilorin to be in Lagos to work in the church. Due to my difficult living conditions at that time, I had to tidy up things before my family could join me.
“Before bringing them over, I went to God in prayers and explained the challenges I was facing to Him. I told God to help me get a decent accommodation.
“Left to me I did not mind using the one-room apartment, but the thought of housing my entire family in one room posed a great challenge to me.”
God’s response to me was, ‘Son, don’t ask for house because I have decided to build you a city.’
“That response was beyond what I could comprehend. After this encounter, I began to dream of a city where everybody would be a Christian; a city where there would be no molestation; a city where there would be no power failure or water shortage. God began to stretch my mind to see a city where His praises would fill every mouth.”
Repeatedly, he reminded the congregation that once God has spoken, it is done.
