Qatar: Pastor Adeboye leaves Doha with a mark






DOHA General Overseer of Nigeria-based Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye praised Qatar ’s economic growth and development during a programme at the Hilton Hotel in Doha , on Friday.
The clergyman made special prayers for peace in Lebanon , Syria , Yemen and the Middle East region. “Let us pray for the peace and progress of Qatar and wisdom for the leadership of the country,” Folu, wife of the clergyman said.
The congregation stood, some of them singing along, as a flute sounded off songs like Jehovah Gbe gbe letima at the conference hall where a multitude of Christians gathered to welcome Daddy GO as members of the RCCG fondly call him.
At 10:15a.m. Adeboye walked to the pulpit, knelt and prayed that God would bring transformation through peace, unity, love and good governance to Qatar , before preaching his sermon.
The hall filled to the brim, with some delegates from the UK , the UAE and Nigeria standing close to the pulpit to listen to the revered preacher from Nigeria . With emphasis on the theme of the programme, ‘Let the Wind Blow’, Adeboye said, "Whenever the wind of the Holy Spirit blows, several things like healing, progress and transformation take place."
No doubt, the congregation had faith because each member claimed his/her miracle as the soft-spoken clergyman preached. He urged every Christian to embrace the wind so as to receive their blessings.
Head of the Redeemed Christian Church in Qatar Tokunbo Balogun said, "It’s a great time to have our father in Doha . He is carrying a special package and we must be ready to receive it."
The event was enlivened with a special performance by the RCCG choir in Qatar under the ministration of Tomiwa Ogundare. The special song titled ‘Jehovah Gbe gbe letima’, a South Africa song was sung in different languages.
The clergyman, who recently turned 70, had earlier admonished Nigerians residents in Qatar to live peaceably and project the image of the country rightly.
Named one of the 50 most powerful people in the world by Newsweek in 2008, Adeboye said that when God wants to perform a miracle, it does not take Him a long time. He added that people just needed to be on the right track with God to enjoy rapid growth and progress.
He had earlier met officials of the Nigerian embassy from the UAE and Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation, Qatar chapter .
