The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has said that those responsible for the drastic loss in value by the naira, will not live to enjoy their illicit gains.

Delivering a sermon yesterday at the special Sunday service organised by RCCG Region 11,Ikoyi/Victoria Island family at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Onikan, Lagos, Adeboye said this was a revelation he received from God early this year but which he was sharing for the first time.

“Those who are deliberately destroying the naira will make the money but will not spend it,” he declared.
The naira had drastically and dramatically nose-dived in value in recent months, exchanging at over N500 to the dollar before it began to appreciate lately.

Yesterday’s service was the first of its kind by Region 11, whose appellation was changed from “Ikoyi/Victoria Island Family” by Adeboye.

“On my way here this morning, while I was on the long bridge, God told me to change your name to Blessed Family”, he said.
Adeboye said the theme of the programme, ‘Enlargement’, connotes the presence of the ‘’enlarger as well as the one to be enlarged.”

God is not interested in addition but in multiplication, he said, adding that God had pleasure in the prosperity of his people.

He therefore challenged Nigerians to get connected to the ‘enlarger’ for this nation to play her effective role as the giant of Africa and for every Nigerian to stand out in that position of ‘enlargement’.

He enjoined the organisers to make arrangements to take next year’s edition to the National Stadium because “God would have so much enlarged you that this venue would be too small for you.”

He, however, admonished the congregation to always do the will of God and be ready to pay the price for greatness.

Using his life as an example, Adeboye said his greatest desire was to become the youngest Vice-Chancellor in Africa but that God has blessed him beyond his wildest imagination.

“I might not have become the youngest Vice-Chancellor but today I have many Vice-Chancellors who call me ‘Daddy’ and I have my own university, he said.”
