The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has delivered a hopeful message to Nigerians, declaring 2025 as a year of groundbreaking successes for those who align with divine principles.
Speaking at the annual Holy Ghost Rally held on Tuesday at the University of Ibadan (UI), Adeboye shared insights on how individuals can achieve transformative success in the new year. The event, themed “Good News,” drew a large audience, including students and worshippers seeking divine direction for the year ahead.
Pastor Adeboye revealed that his visit to the University of Ibadan had been divinely guided, marking his return to the campus he first visited in 1982. He explained, “I have been coming to UI since 1982 as directed by God, and my presence here today is because someone needs to hear this good news.”
The revered cleric emphasized that 2025 would only be a year of landmark achievements for those who embrace righteousness and cultivate godly relationships.
Citing Luke 2:10-11, Pastor Adeboye expounded on the transformative power of the “Good News” of Jesus Christ. He explained that accepting Christ could unlock miraculous breakthroughs and divine interventions.
“When Christ comes to your aid, the fellow who has been failing can suddenly rise and surprise the professors,” he said.
Using relatable examples, Adeboye illustrated how students struggling academically could find success through faith. “You can prosper even as a student when you receive the Good News. Christ in you is the source of success,” he assured the audience.
The RCCG leader urged Nigerians to prioritize doing the right thing in their daily lives. He stressed that righteousness is the foundation for enduring success.
“Doing the right thing entails accepting the Good News of Jesus Christ and letting Him take absolute control of your life. It’s beyond going to church and being part of church activities,” Adeboye stated.
He added that when individuals align their lives with God’s will, they unlock the potential for rapid progress. “When Christ comes in, the one who has been stagnant can be promoted. He can do for you, in one year, what you were unable to achieve in many years,” he said.
Addressing the students in attendance, Pastor Adeboye emphasized their role in shaping the future of Nigeria. He highlighted that academic success and personal growth are achievable when students integrate faith into their lives.
“You can be an agent of transformation in your family and society if you embrace the Good News,” he said.
The cleric also called on students to maintain godly relationships and avoid negative influences. “Surround yourself with those who encourage you to do the right thing. Such relationships will help you achieve your goals,” he advised.
The rally’s theme, “Good News,” resonated deeply with attendees, many of whom shared testimonies of how previous messages from Pastor Adeboye had impacted their lives.
Participants left the event with renewed hope, inspired by Adeboye’s declaration that 2025 could be a year of unprecedented breakthroughs. His message was clear: success is achievable for anyone willing to align with God’s principles and embrace the transformative power of the Good News.
One participant, a postgraduate student at UI, expressed gratitude for the message. “Pastor Adeboye’s words have encouraged me to keep trusting in God for my academic success and personal growth,” she said.
Over the years, Pastor Adeboye has been a beacon of hope for millions, using platforms like the Holy Ghost Rally to inspire faith and resilience. His consistent emphasis on righteousness and divine intervention continues to resonate with Nigerians facing economic and social challenges.
The annual rally at UI is part of RCCG’s broader mission to spread the message of hope and redemption. Pastor Adeboye’s teachings reflect the church’s commitment to equipping individuals with spiritual tools to navigate life’s challenges successfully.
The message comes at a time when many Nigerians are grappling with uncertainty, including economic hardships and societal pressures. Adeboye’s call for righteousness and faith-based living aligns with the growing demand for spiritual solutions to real-world problems.
Recent reports highlight the RCCG’s influence in promoting positive societal values and encouraging personal transformation. The church’s initiatives, including the annual 100-day fast and community outreach programs, have cemented its role as a catalyst for change in Nigeria.
