Members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has been called on by the General Overseer, Pastor E.A Adeboye to start attending service on Sunday following the decision of the Lagos and Ogun state government to lift the restriction on worship centres.
Adeboye further stated that even though some services will still hold online, members are expected to be in church as it attracts more blessings.
The cleric said this in a video message on Tuesday titled, ‘From Lockdown to Leaping Up’.

The RCCG general overseer further stated that people should not be deceived into thinking that attending service at home had become a permanent thing.
Adeboye said, “I want to encourage you that all the churches go back for fellowship and begin to enjoy the benefits of corporate prayers again. You know, the Almighty God in Hebrews Chapter 10 verse 25 that we should not forsake the assembly of one another.”
“There are those who will talk to you and say ‘why don’t you continue to stay at home? After all, you can pray at home and God will hear you’. Yes, I agree. Anywhere you cry unto Him, He will answer. But He says specifically in Matthew Chapter 21 Verse 13 that His house is called the House of Prayers.”

“In other words, He himself designated the House of God as a place where you will pray and the answer will come fast. That is the reason why you find David saying in Psalm 122 Verse 1 that I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the house of the Lord because He knows that when you go to the house of the Lord, you will be in his presence where there is fullness of joy.”
He further stated that some countries where lockdown has not been lifted online service would continue but would hold at 2 pm.
“By the Grace of God, from 2 pm every Sunday for the next few weeks, we will still be ministering to our people all over the world who might be on lockdown. That should not be used as an excuse for not going to church. The bible says if you know these things, blessed are you if you do them,” Adeboye added.
