The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has urged Nigerians to find their ultimate security and hope in Jesus Christ amid prevailing national uncertainties.
Pastor Adeboye said Nigerians should look beyond the temporary gifts associated with the festive season and embrace what he described as the “priceless and eternal gift” of Jesus Christ.
He made the call during the annual December Let’s-Go-A-Fishing evangelistic outreach of RCCG Regions 1, 36 and 52, held at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos. The General Overseer disclosed that the annual spiritual programme is taking place simultaneously in 40 locations across Nigeria.
Preaching on the theme “The Priceless Gift,” Pastor Adeboye used the Christmas tradition of gift-giving to contrast temporary worldly presents with the eternal value of salvation in Christ.
“Christmas is a period when we give gifts to our friends, but no matter how precious, they are always temporary. Money finishes, clothes wear out. There is only one who can give a gift that lasts forever—Jesus Christ,” he said.
He noted that no human being can guarantee tomorrow, stressing that true assurance lies in a personal relationship with Christ. “There is nobody here who can give you total assurance of tomorrow. But there are those of us who are not bothered about tomorrow because it is written: ‘Christ in you, the hope of glory,’” he added.
