At least, over 1.5 million people worldwide are expected at the
Redemption Ground,
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the RCCG will declare
open the congress, with the theme; “The Overflow” on Monday night. The
congress, which is one of the biggest single gatherings in Africa, will feature
exhilarating music ministration, seminars and teachings often laced with loads
of miracles and life-imparting prophecies.
“The Overflow we are talking about is not just for the church,
it’s for the whole nation. All of us could benefit from it,” he said, noting
that there is tremendous hope for Nigeria. Once we are still able to raise the
banner of praise unto the Lord, there’s hope for us. People are worried about
what may happen to Nigeria by 2015, I want to assure you that as long as God is
on the throne, it’ll be well with the nation. It cannot get worse by the grace
of God,” said Pastor Johnson Odesola, the Special Assistant to the General
Overseer on Administration and Personnel.
“The essence of the programme is that we want Nigerians to join
hands with us to pray that God will restore our nation. We also urge Nigerians
to pray without ceasing for our government and leaders. You can say anything
about the president or the governor and all those who are in authority, but
there’s something we believe; according to the Bible, nobody can get to any
position except God permits him or her. So whether we like those people or not;
whether we voted for them or not; they are God’s choice and we should be
praying that they will lead us well,” he added.
Odesola said the church was fully set to host the great event,
saying that several measures for the comfort of the participants expected from
far and near for the programme had been put in place, adding that the church
had received a lot of equipment to effectively cover the auditorium.
“In the last three months, we have procured close to 5,000 units
of micro speakers that can go for sound and for music from Germany. At the
moment, we’ve received about 4,000 out of the 7,000 we ordered,” he stated.
