The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Sunday assured churches and citizens that insecurity in the country will come to an end, declaring that “the church will laugh last.”
He gave the assurance during his sermon titled “The Master Builder” at RCCG’s monthly thanksgiving service, which was broadcast live and monitored by our correspondent.
Adeboye said Nigerians should remain calm, noting that evil would not triumph. He added that the nation’s current security challenges serve as a reminder of God’s ability to build and protect His church.
In recent years, churches across Nigeria have faced violent attacks, including gunmen invasions, kidnappings, ransom demands, injuries, and deaths.
“We can pull down. When God opens a door, nobody can shut it,” he said.
“It’s when God shuts a door that nobody can open it. So, I have good news for you, my children, once again. Put your mind at rest. The gates of hell shall not prevail. Whether the devil likes it or not, the church is going to laugh last.”
Adeboye also stressed that God not only builds the church but transforms individual lives.
“Why? Because it is God that is doing the building. He said, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail. But then God does much more than that. He builds people,” he added.
The cleric described God as both a master builder and an architect who shapes lives, destinies, and futures.
