Keffi – Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has urged Christians to demonstrate God’s glory in their affairs regardless of where they found themselves in Nigeria.

Adeboye, who spoke on the theme “Arise and Shine’’, stressed the need for Christians to replicate the teachings of the church in all their endeavours as examples for others to follow.
According to him, to arise means showing your light, your ability and resources and it entails getting out of sickness to health and excelling on all counts.
He said that there was no situation that could not be salvaged by God and called on Nigerian Christians to unite in prayers to enable to overcome the challenges confronting their faith.
The cleric, who took the day’s lessons from Isaiah 60:1-2, said Christians had the ability to cause changes in their environment and urged them to take advantage of such opportunities.
Many faithful within and outside the church, including top government functionaries attended the service.
The General Overseer and his wife, Folu, offered special prayers for members of the church, peace in the country and the world at large.
