Pastor Adeboye is indeed a wise man, imagine the leadership and tussle that would arise in RCCG if he dies without a successor in place.

On Pastor Adeboye’s retirement, I must commend him. The church is not a biological family affair but the family of the body of Christ. 👏👍

Pastor Adeboye took RCCG from below 100 parishes to over 25,000 parishes with presence in 192 countries. Make him our president.
