The Redeemed Christian Church of God has commenced its end of the year annual convocation tagged Holy Ghost Congress.
The service which holds at the Redemption City of the Church along Lagos-Ibadan Express Way begins on Monday December 5 and closes on Saturday morning after the Special Holy Ghost Service.
Speaking at the Special Prayer Session With RCCG Family for Gratitude, Forgiveness and Mercy on Friday at the Redemption City, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) told the congregation that the Holy Ghost Congress 2022 was a kind that had never been seen before.
From the information made available to PTL News, the Holy Ghost Congress 2022, with the theme, “Double Portion” would commence at the Old Auditorium from Monday, 5th December to Wednesday 7th December 2022 and then move to the New Auditorium for the remaining days, Thursday 8th to Sunday 11th December 2022.
“The difference, as the theme suggests, is that everything God has been doing for participants will come in double portions,” assured Pastor Adeboye, who also threw more light at some of the highlights of the week-long programme.
“At the plenary session on Monday, 5th December, 2022, we are going to have “Praise Night”. We are going to sing and praise God and dance before Him and restitute for all the years that we have not been grateful enough.
“Throughout the day on Monday, there will be special programs for various age groups, some of which will be broadcast on Dove TV Media.
“ On Tuesday, 6th December, we will be talking on: “The Oil Of Gladness”. We will be attacking anything at all that is causing us sorrow.
“Wednesday, 7th December, we will be talking on: “The Healing Virtues”. That day, every sick person will be anointed because the Word of God says, ‘If any is sick among you, let them call for the elders and let them anoint them!”. Anointing for healing is going to flow mightily on that Wednesday”
He went further, “On Thursday, 8th December, the topic will be: From Curses To Blessings. Everyone at the Thursday service will be anointed – anointing that will cancel every curse that had been in our families.
“ Friday, 9th December, is ‘The Big Day”.
“Morning sessions will feature talks and prayers, followed by personal ministrations, while the afternoon sessions are devoted to teaching and sharing of experiences by accomplished professionals and ministers of God in various areas of human endeavour, including marriage, business, ministry and healthy living.”
The Congress, which is attended by people from all over the world, has always also been characterised by miracles, signs and wonders and the anointing of mantles like handkerchiefs, which believers have used for healing miracles and even raising the dead.
The Congress, was first held in the Lekki area of Lagos, with the theme: “Divine Visitation,” on December 18, 1998, and it came as a divine inspiration to worship God in an all-night affair.
Millions of worshippers were recorded at the first programme, those in attendance were more than double of those expected.
The programme was later moved to the Redemption Camp (now Redemption City), where it has been hosted ever since.
That movement also witnessed the expansion of the programme to a three-day affair from 1999 to 2001.
It metamorphosed into its present format of six days with morning, afternoon and evening sessions of teachings, prayers and healing sessions.
The Congress usually draws millions of participants to the Redemption City, with many of them staying in there until the end of the programme.
