Ready to attend this years RCCG annual convention?

Wait!!. Here are 5 things you need to know before you attend.

The Redeemed Christian Church of God(RCCG) is a Pentecostal megachurch and denomination founded in Lagos, Nigeria. The General overseer (most senior pastor) is Enoch Adeboye, ordained in 1981. As of August, 2018, the RCCG has a presence in 198 countries of the world. The church in Lagos has an average church attendance of 50,000.

1) BRIEF HISTORY

The RCCG was founded in 1952 by Rev. Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi (1909–1980) following his involvement in other churches.Rev. Akindayomi chose Enoch Adeboye as the next General overseer. Enoch Adeboye was a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Lagos, Nigeria, as at the time he joined the church in 1973. Adeboye initially became one of the interpreters translating Akindayomi's sermons from Yoruba to English. He was ordained a pastor of the church in 1975, and his appointment as leader (General overseer) of the church was formalized by the posthumous reading of Akindayomi's sealed pronouncement. In 1990, Redeemed Christian Church of God Bible School is founded.

The church's leaders preach that in the future "In every household there will be at least one member of Redeemed Christian Church of God in the whole world."

In 2016, the weekly worship attendance of the church in Lagos averaged 50,000.

2) FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS

The official RCCG website outlines its beliefs in the Bible and the Holy Trinity, that the Devil exists, that God formed man in his image, in repentance, in cleansing from sins by God's grace, in sanctification, water baptism, Holy Spirit baptism, restitution and that it is possible for God to heal without medicine (by His divine intervention e.g. through prayer).

The church is a strong advocate of peace and holiness ("Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14 - KJV).

The church forbids "worldliness" (such as reveling and lewd dancing) and rebellion against church authority.

The church is also against debt to finance either the church or its activities. It encourages abstention from all evil and reverence to parents and constituted authorities.

Nice but why do they like omitting the part that the founder of Redeemed was a member of Cherubim
