By Sam Eyoboka & Olayinka Latona

THE 20th Holy Ghost Congress of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, ended last night at the Redemption Camp with testimonies.

•Oritsejafor

The Holy Ghost Service of the programme, attended by a crowd of worshippers, including Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode and the immediate past National President of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, featured prayers for the peace, unity and progress of the nation.

Wife of the General Overseer, Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye, led the congregation to pray for the nations of the world.

Oritsejafor, who spoke briefly on the topic, Power Passes Power, used the opportunity to speak on the current debate on tithing which was flagged off by On Air Personality, Oladayo Olarinde, better known as Daddy Freeze, who contended that tithe is an Old Testament injunction, arguing that many people are under the bondage of Malachi 3:8–10 which is actually about the priests robbing God, not the congregation robbing God.

“I know there are some people telling you not to pay tithe. Don’t listen to them. They want to kill you. You go die quick”, he said.

“Your tithe is not about you. It’s about your children. The Bible says when Levi was still in the system, he was already paying tithe. Your tithe is not about you. It’s about your children. It is about your children’s children. Levi was still in the picture, he was paying tithe. Don’t let anybody deceive you”.

‘I got brand new liver’

Pastor & Mrs Onwudiwe had a baby girl in 2012 but there were no babies after that. They wrote to Daddy G.O. who promptly told them they would testify very soon. This month they gave birth.

Mrs. Ajayi: Her brother-in-law was held by the police for over month on trumped-up- charges. When she arrived the Redemption Camp for the Congress, she took it as a prayer point and by 10.00 a.m, yesterday morning the brother-in-law was released.

Sister Blessing Afolabi got married in 2010 and had still birth in 2015. In the 2016 Congress on Complete Restoration, Daddy G.O. said God would release another 70,000 babies. Before the end of that month, she conceived and she gave birth during the Halleluyah Convention in August 2017.

Miss Odunayo Adegoroye, a female wrestler, said she was given a scholarship to train in Finland for one year in preparation for the World Wrestling Competition. “I was there when I got a call that I should return for trials aimed at selecting persons for world championships”she said..

“So I came to the Redemption Camp to pray to God and I went to the African Championship and I won a gold medal. And after winning the gold medal, the next was the world championship and I wrote Daddy G.O. expressing my desire to be at the tournament.

“He assured me that I will be there and, in the meantime, I went to Wike Wrestling Championship where, to the glory of God, I also won the gold medal”.

Pastor (Mrs.) Olowe from Oyo State: “I came back from Britain rejecting a liver transplant. It was time for convention and I came from the airport. I wanted to see Daddy over the sentence but I could not see him. As I was going back, I saw Mummy Nassarawa who advised me to write a letter to Daddy and Mummy G.O. which I promptly did telling them that I had refused a liver transplant.

“Exactly nine days after, Daddy replied and said: ‘We have prayed. Go back to the UK doctor and you will come back with testimonies.’ Three days after, I went back to the UK and the doctor ran a fresh test and immediately went hysterical not believing what the new test had revealed. He just kept saying, ‘I am sure of what I saw initially.’  To the glory of God, I was given a brand new liver”.

Earlier, the General Overseer of RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, urged Christians across the country to imbibe the culture of cleanliness, stressing that cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Before his brief sermon of the day titled: “Songs of Victory”, the man of God excited the extraordinarily large crowd of worshippers in both Auditoriums, different viewing centers across the world, when he declared that the number children born in the RCCG Maternity within the first five days of the Congress had risen to 40——20 boys and 20 girls.
