As Nigeria continues to grapple with economic hardship fueled by rising inflation, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has announced a national prayer initiative for the restoration and expansion of the country’s economy.
According to a statement shared with The PUNCH, Pastor Adeboye will dedicate the July 2025 thanksgiving service, themed ‘Divine Intervention’, to interceding for Nigeria’s economic turnaround.
The service is scheduled to hold at the RCCG national headquarters in Oyingbo, Lagos.
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Administration, Pastor Dele Balogun, during a press briefing in Lagos on Friday, Adeboye acknowledged the widespread challenges confronting the country and the global community at large.
He said, “Our nation; Nigeria, as well as other nations of the world, are going through a challenging time. However, the good news is that these challenges are surmountable by faith, if we do not entertain doubt.
“As citizens and stakeholders in Nigeria, we need to drop the garb of negative confessions and plug into the mystery of faith and positive reasoning, to drive positive action, towards moving Nigeria forward.”
Balogun further revealed that Pastor Adeboye will personally lead prayers focused on national economic restoration and breakthrough, trusting in divine intervention to create new opportunities for growth and transformation.
“To this effect, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Adeboye, has undertaken to lead prayers for national economic restoration and enlargement.
“Our nation needs transformation into the realm of divine opportunities,” he stated.
Also speaking at the press conference, the Assistant Pastor in Charge of Province 1, Pastor Olusegun Macaulay, emphasized the importance of spiritual connection in accessing divine opportunities.
He noted, “We already have a team that is focused on praying for the nation throughout the second half of the year.
“So, our post-activity is focused on prayers; prayers about environment, weather, clemency and many things because once you plant, you also need the environment to be positive for you.”
The RCCG’s initiative reflects a spiritual response to the economic challenges faced by millions of Nigerians and aims to inspire hope and collective faith in a better future.
