When will Pastor Adeboye Retire?

MILLIONS of Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, members across the globe, yesterday celebrated the 72nd birthday of the church's General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye with high pitched gospel music, dancing and prayers for long life and divine strength.

At the national headquarters of the church in Ebute Metta, Lagos, the Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Administration and Personnel, Pastor Johnson Odesola-led thousands of parishioners to pray for the good health of the General Overseer, who was unavoidably absent at the service as he was said to take time off to pray at home.

There were several prayer sessions by the children, teenagers, youths, men, women and elders of the church for the cleric who at the beginning of the year, flagged off 100 days fasting and prayer, obviously to avert the multi dimensional security challenges currently threatening to tear the nation apart.

Pastor Odesola confirmed that the G.O. always presided over the first Sunday service of every month at the headquarter church, "but usually he doesn't go out of his home on March 2, because he spends the whole day praying for God's leading. That's why he was unable to make the service and I sent letters to all our branches across the globe to spend today (Sunday) praying for our leader." http://allafrica.com/stories/201403031660.html
