When Pastor Enoch Adeoye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), declared war on Thursday, the fourth night of the 2022 national convention, it was total war.
At the end of it, many people lay on floor near the altar of the old auditorium of the Redemption City (formerly Redemption Camp), relieved of their tormentors.
They had been taken there safely from among the large congregation so they would not hurt themselves as the demons fled violently from them. And by the end of the sermon, two of them were still “manifesting”, shaking and rolling on the floor as demons struggled in them.
In a church that doesn’t publicise live miracles, photographs and television cameras were barred from covering them.
The exercise, which Pastor Adeboye said was common practice in the early days of the church when the congregation was small (millions of people now), was part of the deliverance service.
At the end of the general overseer’s sermon and prayers, the band of the church played high-tempo tunes celebrating the deliverance power of Jesus Christ, as the congregation prayed fervently for deliverance from the grip of the devil — each member focusing on their areas of affliction — while Pastor Adeboye prayed in the spirit.
In his main sermon earlier, he exposed the various ways demons attack their victims. They are:
The general overseer added that after God has decreed jubilee, no one is allowed to keep anyone in bondage; everybody in bondage is entitled to liberty, and the devil has no choice than to free their victims who are willing to enjoy their liberty.
“Whatever the form of attack, declaration of jubilee by God, when we run to Him in total surrender, is a declaration of war by the One who never loses a battle,” he said.
As usual, the altar call attracted thousands of people for salvation.
Earlier, the service of songs, which has become a favourite part of the conventions, featured many choirs and individual ministrations. The session was spiced with a poem recitation by the multi-talented general overseer, who is also a composer.
There were also awesome testimonies of healing and fruit of the womb after many years of bareness.
