Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, urged Nigerian Christians on Sunday that insecurity will be eliminated, proclaiming that “the church will laugh last.”
This comes just as he has advised Nigerians to rest assured that wickedness will not prevail.
Adeboye made the statement while teaching “The Master Builder” at RCCG’s monthly thanksgiving service, which was aired and observed by our correspondent.
According to the popular cleric, the current security situation in the country serves as a reminder that God can grow and protect His church.
In recent years, churches in Nigeria have faced violent attacks, including gunman invasions that resulted in kidnappings, ransom demands, injuries, and murders.
Speaking further, he said, “We can pull down. When God opens a door, nobody can shut it.
“It’s when God shuts a door that nobody can open it. Therefore, I have good news for you, my children, once again.
“Put your mind at rest. The gates of hell shall not prevail. Whether the devil likes it or not, the church is going to laugh last.”
Adeboye stressed that beyond building the church, God also transforms individuals.
“Why? Because it is God that is doing the building.
“He said, ‘I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail. But then God does much more than that. He builds people,” he said.
The cleric also stated that God is not only a master builder but also an architect who shapes lives, destinies, and futures.
