REDEMPTION CITY — The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has charged Christians to embrace total obedience to God, declaring that a single divine intervention can rewrite a destiny “in one night” for those who fully align with His will.
The revered cleric delivered the message during the 2025 Cross Over Service at the Redemption City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, focusing on the timeless sovereignty of God over human calendars and destinies.
Preaching from Revelation 1:8, where God declares Himself the Alpha and Omega, Pastor Adeboye emphasized that God operates outside the confines of time as humans measure it.
“God does not work by calendar years but by days,” he stated. “The Scripture teaches us to ‘number our days,’ not our years.”
Referencing Hebrews 13:8, he reminded the congregation that Jesus Christ remains unchanged “yesterday, today, and forever,” and that God has already ordained the beginning and end of every life, as illustrated in Jeremiah 1:4–5.
Provision Precedes Creation
Drawing from Genesis, Pastor Adeboye explained that God made full provision for humanity even before creating man, describing Him as the “all-sufficient” and “more-than-enough” God. He echoed the assurance in Jeremiah 29:11 that God’s plans for His people are of peace and a hopeful future.
The pastor issued a sobering warning against spiritual pretense, asking the faithful, “For how long do you think you can deceive God by pretending that your obedience is complete?”
He assured that God is willing to radically rearrange lives and circumstances for those who yield wholly to divine purpose, citing the overnight transformation of Abraham and Sarah’s destinies in Genesis 17.
Prophetic Alert for 2025
Looking ahead, Pastor Adeboye reiterated a earlier prophetic warning that 2025 would be a remarkable year marked by significant global events, including floods and fire outbreaks. He urged believers to remain spiritually vigilant and prayerful.
The service concluded with guided prayers, as worshippers were led to seek revelation about missed opportunities in 2025, discern divine lessons, and pray for the grace to seize every opening in 2026.
Pastor Adeboye also encouraged the congregation to pray for the removal of any “Jonah” — obstacles or disobedience — that could hinder progress, and to fully embrace their identity as children of God.
He ended with a firm assurance: God is ready to help every willing believer become all they were destined to be — provided they walk in sincere and complete obedience.
