Church of God (RCCG) has prayed for Christians in the North America to
receive "double portion'' in their growth and advancement.
Adeboye, who spoke during the inauguration of the North American
Redemption Camp in Greenville, Texas on Wednesday also prayed that
they are accelerated to the glory of the Lord.
Quoting from the Holy Bible, 2ndkings 2 verse 9, Adeboye said "we
learn from this that we are not to be content withthe accomplishments
of those who have led and or are leading us.
"No, we are expected to aim to achieve even more. This is very
consistent with the admonition made to the disciples
by the Lord Jesus Christ in John 14:12.''
He also ordained Pastors, assistant Pastors, Deacons and Deaconesses
and presented certificates to graduates of the RCCG North America
seminary and Bible College.
The North America Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
reports that the one million seat capacitycamp, with an initial 10,000
seats, is said to be the largest Nigerian own church auditorium in the
U. S.
It is located on over 800 acres ofland acquired by the RCCGNA
The camp already has an administrative building that houses the
headquarters of the church and when fully completed; it would also
have a number of buildings including housing estates, fish farm,
schools and a university.
The inauguration coincided with the church's 17th Annual Convention
with the theme "Double Portion''.
Pastor James Fadele, Chairman RCCG, North America in his welcome
address, noted that the camp premises has made progress in infrastr
uctural improvements.
"As stated earlier, you will observe a few improvements since the last
convention, such asthe construction of the first phaseof the pavilion,
the furnishing of the central auditorium, construction of model houses
of the redemption estate which are abundant evidence of the
faithfulness of the lord.
"Let these reassure you that in your own life, the faithfulness of the
Lord will likewise abound. The Lord has promised that He will perfect
all that concerns you,'' Fadele said.
In his message the governor of the State of Texas, Mr Rick Perry,
implored the congregation to rejoice in the fellowship they findamong
their fellow Christians andexperience the joy that comes from leading
a life filled with thegifts of the
Holy Spirit.
"May you reach out to help others who are downtrodden andin need, and
help them find solace and peace in the
Lord and in the Bible's teachings.
"I commend your church for its mission to spread the word of God
through the establishment ofmissions, schools, rehabilitation centres,
child care and support centres across the globe,'' Perry said.
I am so happy for them
