From Barefoot Village Boy to Global Spiritual Leader: Adeboye Inspires at Church’s 50th Anniversary

Pastor E. A. Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has shared a moving account of his journey from barefoot days in secondary school to becoming one of the most influential Christian leaders in the world.

Speaking at the 50th anniversary celebration of the All Christians Fellowship Mission (ACFM) in Abuja, Adeboye reflected on his humble beginnings in a village so small it wasn’t on Nigeria’s map. He recalled seasons when faith was his only currency, yet God’s faithfulness never failed.

“Your promotion is not in the hand of man. Your promotion is in the hand of God,” Adeboye told the congregation, urging Nigerians not to define themselves by present hardships but to trust God as the ultimate promoter.

The service was also a celebration of ACFM’s remarkable journey from a modest “batcher” to a global mission with churches across Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, and Burkina Faso. Its founder, Rev. Williams Okoye, described the theme, “God Our Helper” (1 Samuel 7:12), as both timely and fitting.

Guests, including former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim and Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship leader Ifeanyi Odedo, shared heartfelt testimonies of how the church shaped their lives, faith, and public service.

For Pastor Adeboye, the day was more than an anniversary—it was living proof that no beginning is too small for God to transform into greatness.

68 Nations Gather at Dunamis Glory Dome for 2025 Flaming Fire Conference

Cross section of Delegates at the Fire Conference

The 2025 International Ministers Flaming Fire Conference has drawn thousands of worshippers, church leaders, and delegates from more than 68 nations to the Glory Dome, headquarters of Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), Abuja.

The week-long global convocation, themed “Territorial Dominion,” began on August 26 and will climax with a grand thanksgiving service on August 31. Among the nations represented are the United States, United Kingdom, China, India, Russia, Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa, Australia, Malawi, Japan, and many others.

Pastor Paul Enenche and his family

The international ministers gracing the platform alongside hosts Dr. Paul and Dr. Becky Paul-Enenche include Dr. Bill Winston (USA), Bishop Dag Heward-Mills (Ghana), Steven Brooks (USA), Chioma Jesus (Nigeria), Michelle Benedek (USA), and several others.

The opening night was marked by a colourful parade of nations, with delegates greeting the congregation in their native languages before joining in a collective prayer session for the nations.

In his opening message, Dr. Paul Enenche expounded on the theme, recalling the biblical story of Philip in Samaria.

 “Every entity in Samaria, whether spiritual or physical, knew that something had shifted because Philip had arrived,” he declared.
Challenging ministers, he asked: “When last did you enter a place and heaven and hell recognised your arrival?”

Dr. Enenche taught that persecution often opens doors for divine visitation.

> “Whenever the devil does his worst, God sets the stage for His best. Fresh battles attract fresh mantles,” he said.

He identified three forces behind Philip’s impact—the Spirit, the Word, and Power—noting that effective ministry is not in titles or advertisement but in the manifestation of God’s presence.

“You don’t need a poster if you carry power. The proof of ministry is not advertisement but manifestation,” he told a roaring congregation.

The conference has since featured daily morning and evening sessions, including teaching, prayer, impartation, and worship.

On Day 3, Dr. Bill Winston preached on “Living from the Inside Out” and later ministered at the vigil on “Growing Up, the Sons of God,” drawing from Romans 8:19 and Hebrews 5:12-14. Using a practical illustration, he remarked:

 

“I thought I was Superman whenever I wore a Superman shirt—I felt stronger. So how much more when you put on Christ? The enemy is under our feet.”

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills brought a strong evangelistic and healing campaign on Day 4, teaching on Matthew 16:18 about faithfulness in building the Church of Christ.

The high point was the World, Worship, and Wonders Night, when the Glory Dome overflowed beyond capacity, with thousands worshipping both inside and outside the massive auditorium. The electrifying atmosphere of worship, Word, and miracles marked what many described as a historic visitation.

As the gathering enters its final sessions, ministers and believers alike testify to a renewed sense of power, presence, and purpose for global territorial dominion.

Olukoya Ordains 5,000 Pastors at MFM Global Ministers Conference

Olukoya

The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Worldwide, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, has ordained 5,000 men and women as pastors during the 2025 Global Ministers Conference.

The ordination, which took place at the Prayer City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, was the climax of the four-day conference themed “The Message, the Messenger and the Power.”

Addressing the new pastors before the Sunday service, Olukoya urged them to remain dedicated to their calling and shun rebellion, describing it as a “killer.” He cited the biblical example of Absalom, who rebelled against his father, King David, but died on the battlefield.

The cleric also warned against self-ordination and questioned the authenticity of some who parade themselves as “general overseers, papas, and superintendents” on the internet.

“You are ordained today; whose anointing are you carrying — the oil of God or of man? If it is men’s, you better back out now. Only God can call and ordain you,” Olukoya said.

He further charged the newly ordained pastors not to oppress church members but to be diligent and faithful in their service.

“From today, you shall not be the same person again,” he declared.

Kumuyi Warns Against Succession Pressure in Deeper Life Church

Published

on

Pastor W. F Kumuyi

General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has cautioned members against agitating over who will succeed him, insisting that the decision rests with God alone.

Speaking during a recent Bible study programme, the 83-year-old cleric said he would not be pressured into stepping aside, warning that such moves undermine his mission.

Referring to comments made by a young preacher who said “there is no leadership without a successor,” Kumuyi said it was inappropriate to push the issue while he is still actively leading the church.

“God will give a successor at His own time,” he said. “I reject any attempt by members to control me. I won’t even take that from my wife because I am the head of the home.”

Kumuyi urged members to appreciate his continued strength and commitment to preaching the gospel, adding that biblical examples show leadership changes happen according to divine will.

“When the time comes, God will choose a man after His own heart. Don’t try to drive me away, even though I know you cannot,” he said.
