Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), said God told him the church’s governing council will “one day hold a meeting on the moon”.
Speaking at the RCCG’s April edition of the Holy Ghost Congress convention, the cleric said God’s promises may seem unbelievable, but he believes they will come to pass.
Adeboye, 83, also recalled how God told him that he would own a city despite living in a one-room apartment in Mushin, Lagos.
“I am not doubting God, I know with him all things are possible. But he told me, and I told some of my people, He told me that a day is coming when the Redeemed Christian Church of God’s (RCCG) Governing Council wants to hold their meeting, they would hold the meeting on the moon. I know that does not make sense, but then, that is God,” he said.
“Just like he said to me not to ask for a house, I have decided to build a city. He was talking to somebody living in a room in Mushin. When I shared with those people who were with me then they all laughed. They are still laughing because they can see what God is doing.
“When God says we will one day be holding our meetings on the moon, you do not have to believe it, but he has spoken. It is going to come to pass.”
Is The Moon Habitable?
According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), “the many missions that have explored the moon have found no evidence to suggest it has its own living things. However, the moon could be the site of future colonization by humans”.
![Rev. Fr. Anthony Odiong, a US-based Nigerian Louisiana Catholic priest, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday for possessing child pornography, according to law authorities. The suspect is reportedly accused of many other cases of sexual assault. The Waco, Texas, Police Department announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday that officers detained Father Anthony Odiong in Ave Maria, Florida, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service. Waco police announced in March that they had received "credible information" about a sexual assault allegedly committed by Odiong in Texas in 2012. “During the subsequent investigation, a case of possession of child pornography was uncovered,” the police said. The priest was apprehended in Florida by the Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force. The Waco Police Department said that he will be extradited to Texas. Odiong had previously served in the Archdiocese of New Orleans before being removed as priest in December of last year due to controversy over homilies in which he claimed, among other things, that the Catholic Church was being taken over by "the gays." At the time, the priest was also accused of abusive behaviour; a Louisiana lady claimed in U.S. bankruptcy court that Odiong had committed both financial and sexual abuse against her. Prior to joining the New Orleans Archdiocese, Odiong served in at least two Texas parishes. On Tuesday, Waco police stated that during their sexual assault investigation, "the presence of other survivors was revealed." “Multiple women have come forward to tell similar experiences as the sexual assault survivor who reported the initial allegation,” the police department said. “Survivors’ experiences ranged from sexual assault and indecent assault, more commonly recognised as groping, and financial abuse, with some survivors experiencing every element of Anthony Odiong’s manipulation.” The police said they “believe there may be more survivors, and we wish to speak with anyone who [has] had similar encounters” with the priest. The Archdiocese of New Orleans issued a brief news release on Tuesday noting Odiong's arrest in Florida. The archdiocese “encourages anyone with any information to contact law enforcement,” the release said.](https://chronicle.ng/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/ezgif-6-4730550ede-450x300.jpg "Odiong: US-based Nigerian Catholic priest convicted over sexual assault")
