The youths of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God, RCCG, will Monday begin 73 hours of praise to bless the name of
the Lord for sparing the leader of the church, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye,
who clocked 73 years on Monday.
A release by the leadership of the
youth stated that the programme will be in conjunction with the music
department of the church led by Pastor Kunle Ajayi.
The release further stated that the
praises kick off by 2p.m. Monday and will be rounded off by 3pm on Thursday, 5
March 2015.
The release further stated that the
purpose of the praise is to appreciate God for His mercy upon the church and
its leader and to kick start the Special Holy Ghost Service which starts at
6:00p.m. on Thursday, 5, March 2015.
The organisers of the programme
believe that this year’s event is a unique one because it coincides with the
day Pastor Adeboye is 73.
This special hour of praise started
in 2012 when Pastor Adeboye was 70 years. It was then 70 hours of praise. The
following year, it was 71 hours of praise.
“If the Lord tarries, this is the way
we will be doing it until God calls our daddy home, which I believe, it will
still be a long time to come by the grace of God,” a source informed
According to a statement by the
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati,
Jonathan praised Adeboye for “the productive spiritual leadership which he
(Adeboye) has continued to provide for members of his church and the body of
Christ in the country.”
The Prsident’s letter to the General
Overseer reads: “It gives me great pleasure to felicitate with you on the
occasion of your 73rd birthday.
“Our administration and the Nigerian
nation owe you a debt of gratitude for your prayerful support and the
productive spiritual leadership you continue to provide, not just for the
millions that constitute the membership of the Redeemed Christian Church of God
across the world, but also for the entire body of Christ in Nigeria.
“On a personal level, I have left
every meeting with you greatly strengthened and deeply inspired by your
steadfast faith and commitment to the peace, stability, growth and development
of our dear nation.
“I pray that Almighty God continues
to imbue you with robust health and enduring fulfilment in the many more years
of worthy service ahead of you.”
