The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E A Adeboye sent worshipers at the grand finale of the church's 2017 Annual Holy Ghost Convention Service into tension mode at the weekend, when he brought out for the first time, his staff of office handed to him by the founder of the church, Pastor Josiah Akindayomi.
Events of the night was devoid of any panic until Pastor Adeboye mounted the Pulpit after the ministration of his Faith Tabernacle counterpart, Bishop David Oyedepo he brought out delicately handled wrapped object which later turned out to be his staff of office.
While
unwrapping it, Adeboye told the congregation that while his predecessor
held sway as the leader of the church, God instructed him to make a 100% wooden
staff which he should pass on to his successor as staff of office.
According
to him, he didnt have any reason to parade the staff in the public before
that night because he was under strict instruction from God to produce it
on request.
