73 Hours of Praise for Adeboye

The youths of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, on Monday began 73 hours of praise to bless the name of the Lord for sparing the leader of the church, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, who clocked 73 years on Monday, March 2, 2015.

A release by the leadership of the youth stated that the programme is in conjunction with the music department of the church led by Pastor Kunle Ajayi.

According to the release, the praises, which kicked off by 2p.m Monday, would be rounded off by 3pm on Thursday, 5 March 2015.

The purpose of the praise, the youth said, is to appreciate God for His mercy upon the church and its leader and to kick start the Special Holy Ghost Service which starts at 6:00p.m on Thursday, 5, March 2015.

The organisers of the programme believe that this year’s event is a unique one because it coincides with the day Pastor Adeboye is 73.

This special hour of praise started in 2012 when Pastor Adeboye was 70 years. It was then 70 hours of praise. The following year, it was 71 hours of praise.

“If the Lord tarries, this is the way we will be doing it until God calls our daddy home, which I believe, it will still be a long time to come by the grace of God,” a source said.
