November 22, 1980

Pastor E. A. Adeboye becomes the new General Overseer

On this day, Pastor E. A. Adeboye was appointed as the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. Amidst controversy, Pastor Adeboye’s appointment was formalized by the reading of Pa Akindayomi’s sealed pronouncement after his burial.

With the help of God Almighty under the leadership of Pastor E. A. Adeboye, the Church started to experience major growth, as several Parishes began to grow in leaps and bounds.

At last count, there are at least 4000 parishes of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Nigeria. On the International scene, the church is present in other African nations, including Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Zambia, Malawi, Zaire, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Gambia, Cameroon, and South Africa. In Europe, the church is fully established in the following countries: the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece, France, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.

April 4, 1952

RCCG Was Born

By 1952, Pa Akindayomi started a house fellowship called the Glory of God Fellowship at Willoughby Street, Ebute-Metta, Lagos.

Initially, there were nine members, but before long, the fellowship rapidly grew as the news of the miracles that occurred in their midst spread.

Pa Akindayomi also had a vision of words that appeared to be written on a blackboard. The words were “The Redeemed Christian Church of God.” Amazingly, Pa Akindayomi, who could not read or write, was supernaturally able to write these words down. In this visitation, God also said to him that this church would go to the ends of the earth and that when the Lord Jesus Christ appeared in glory, He would meet the church.

The Lord then established a covenant with Pa Akindayomi, synonymous with the Abrahamic covenant in the Bible. He said that the Lord would meet all the needs of the church awesomely if only members would serve Him faithfully and be obedient to His Word.

It is upon this covenant that the Redeemed Christian Church of God was built. Thus, the Redeemed Christian Church of God was born in 1952, destined by the Lord Himself to take the world for Him. The church continued to meet at 9 Willoughby Street until they were able to acquire some land, thereby witnessing relocation to the present site of the Headquarters of the church at 1-5 Redemption Way, Ebute-Metta, Lagos (formerly 1a, Cemetery Street).
