The History Of RCCG
The Redeemed Christian Church of God is a story of God’s project in the hands of ready vessels. The baton of leadership that fell on the current General Overseer came from Pa Josiah Akindayomi.
Pa Akindayomi has always known that the hand of God was on him. Born in 1909, his early days are filled with countless encounters where God continued to intimate him of the divine agenda for his life. Despite his attempt to continue his life in business and self-pursuit, God according to divine plans brought him into complete surrender as His businesses began to go south. God confirmed his words with Bible passages of Jeremiah 1:4-10, Isaiah 41:10-13 and Romans 8:29-31 and assured him that the tasks ahead are beyond earthly pursuits of food and needs.
In 1952 He felt persuaded by the spirit to leave his Cherubim and Seraphim origin and started a house fellowship called, the Glory of God Fellowship at Willoughby Street, Ebute-Metta, Lagos with nine members but before long the fellowship rapidly grew as the news of the miracles that occurred in their midst spread. Pa Akindayomi who could not read or write was supernaturally able to write down the name The Redeemed Christian Church of God which was given to him in a vision with several covenants of blessing for the church and members.
Pa Josiah Akindayomi
Pastor E. A. Adeboye
Sometime in the early 70s, God told Pa Akindayomi that his successor would be an educated man and by the year 1973, Pa Akindayomi was able to recognize Enoch Adejare Adeboye a mathematics lecturer of the University of Lagos Nigeria who also doubled as his interpreter. Enoch Adeboye was ordained a pastor in 1975 and has unknowingly being told by God of the mantle coming on him but underestimated his eligibility for such a huge responsibility.
When Papa was preparing to meet his creator in 1981, he sent for Pastor Adeboye and spent several hours sharing with him details of the covenant and the plans of the Lord for the church. Pa Akindayomi died at 71 and at the opening of his sealed intentions, Pastor EA Adeboye became the general overseer. Since 1981, the Redeemed Christian Church of God began to experience a massive explosion in both members and branches worldwide. The church currently has over 50000 parishes and presence in over 190 countries and across all continents.
Today, God is still doing marvelous deeds through the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Worldwide. The Holy Ghost Service, an all-night miracle service holds on the first Friday of every month at the Redemption Camp, Km 46 Lagos-Ibadan expressway with millions of people in attendances and million others viewing online across the globe.
All Glory to His Name!
