Pastor Adeboye Urges Focus, Fervent Prayers at Holy Ghost Congress

At the 27th Holy Ghost Congress of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Adeboye emphasized the importance of focus and fervent prayers. The event, themed “Onward Christian Soldiers,” commenced on December 9, 2024, at the Redemption Camp, drawing an impressive turnout of worshippers.

In his welcome address, Pastor Adeboye urged participants to pay close attention to every message and to pray with renewed intensity. “The Lord has promised a Congress that will propel us forward spiritually, physically, emotionally, and materially. Are you ready to play your part?” he asked.

Reflecting on the challenges of 2024, Pastor Adeboye expressed gratitude for God’s preservation and encouraged worshippers to embrace their roles as soldiers in Christ’s army. “This Congress is different, as reflected in the theme, Onward Christian Soldiers. It is both a call and a charge—to those already in the Lord’s army and those ready to join. Are you prepared to march forward with Him leading the way?” he added.

The opening service featured vibrant praise and worship sessions led by the RCCG All Stars and the church’s over 2,000-member mass choir. These extended moments of gratitude and worship set the tone for the Congress.

Pastor Adeboye’s message, “Praise as a Weapon of Warfare,” underscored the power of gratitude in achieving spiritual victories. “Praise is a weapon of warfare. When you praise God for what He has done, He will do more. Without gratitude, future battles may not see divine intervention. Life is warfare—the winner takes it all, while the loser loses it all,” he said.

As the Holy Ghost Congress continues, participants are encouraged to stay attentive, pray fervently, and avoid distractions, ensuring they fully benefit from the spiritual enrichment offered by the event.
