RCCG’s 66th Annual Convention Holds August 6th – 12th
The 66th annual convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) will take place at the Redemption Camp, Kilometers 46, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway from 6th to 12th August, 2018.
The theme of the convention is “Dominion”.
The General Overseer (GO) of the mission, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, who drew the attention of Christians to God’s original mandate for mankind, said man was created to live in dominion.
While unveiling the programme of activities lined up for the one-week convention, he said “The theme of this year’s convention is “Dominion”, and that was God’s original mandate for mankind: to dominate; to rule; to control; to subdue; to be fruitful and to exercise authority on earth.”
He said however that as a result of the fall of Adam and Eve at the Garden of Eden, man was subjected to all manner of failures, sickness and oppression and lost the authority to rule and dominate.
The GO thanked God “who made a way for us to regain lost power and authority through Jesus Christ who became for us the Author of salvation – for as many as received Him (John 1: 12-23).”
“God expects you to pay attention to Genesis 1:26-28 and to fulfill that mandate in every sphere of life. Sin, sickness, failure and poverty can no longer have dominion over you because you understand your rights and privileges in Christ. God wants you to be successful, prosperous, abundant, rewarding, and productive. Not only so, but for you to be prolific in soul winning and by extension dominate the whole world. He expects you to become awake to your responsibility as His child and add value to the kingdom of God continuously and vigorously every day.
“If we want the reward that God desires, then we have to operate the way God operates. We no longer have any excuse not to exercise dominion in every sphere of life because, in Jesus Christ, God has already given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness. (2 Peter 1:3).
“All that you will be taught during the course of this convention is to provide the framework for you to go into the world and change the world for Christ,” Adeboye said.
Adeboye who encouraged worshippers to give diligent hear, observe and be determined to obey God words, also charged them to be fervent in prayer, remain focused and avoid distraction.
He admonished them to put their past failures and disappointments behind and concentrate on what God has in store for them.
“As you begin to understand the principles and walk in dominion, all things will become subject to you. You will regain spiritual strength and vigour. Nothing will be able to neither defy you nor stand in your way ever again, the Clergy said.
