Redeemed now has over 32,000 parishes in Nigeria: Adeboye

The number of parishes of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has soared to more than 32,000 parishes in Nigeria, the General Overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, announced last weekend.

The church, which is adjudged as the fastest growing Pentecostal curch in the world, now has its presence in over 180 countries of the world, Adeboye told well over a million congregants that gathered at the Redemption Camp for the Friday session of the 62 nd session of the church's annual convention.

The general overseer also announced that the exponential growth of the church has made it mandatory that it completes its multibillion naira new auditorium, which would have more sitting capacity than the present one.

The vision of the church is to have a church within five minutes distance in parts of Nigeria and the globe. The RCCG is one of the few Pentecostal churches granted licence to operate in Israel.

He urged members to rise up to the occasion and build for God.

No fewer than 1,100 fresh pastors were ordained by the church on Sunday morning, the last day, of the convention.

This is just as a total of 111 babies, comprising 63 boys and 48 girls, were born during the one-week convention which began on August 4.

Adeboye thanked God and everyone who made the convention possible, described the 62nd convention as a huge success in spite of efforts made by the devil to scuttle it.

He charged the newly ordained pastors, tagged: “Holy Ghost Pastors” to be dedicated to their calling as well as depopulate the kingdom of darkness and populate the kingdom of God.

Preaching during the farewell service, Assistant General Overseer on Administration, Pastor John Odesola, who spoke on the topic: “The Seal of God,” said the desire of God for mankind was security amid troubles and evils.

Odesola, who took his scripture from Revelation 7:1-3, said the Holy Spirit, which is the seal of God, was given to believers to guarantee peace, deliverance, protection and preservation, ownership and the final journey to heaven.

He enjoined the worshippers adhere to strict obedience to Gods's laws, strive for perfection and fruitfulness daily.
