‘God Is More Than Enough,’ Says Pastor Adeboye at RCCG Northern Conference in Plateau
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged Christians to put their complete trust in God, declaring that “God is more than enough” and that nothing is beyond His power.
Pastor Adeboye made the remarks on Sunday during an interdenominational service held at the RCCG Northern Camp Ground in Kassa, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area. The service marked the conclusion of the RCCG 2025 Northern Region Ministers and Workers Conference.
Speaking on the theme “Divine Manifestation,” Pastor Adeboye drew inspiration from Jeremiah 32:27 and Psalm 2:1-4, assuring worshippers that God remains capable of restoring lost glory, especially for Plateau State.
“It doesn’t take God time to do what He says,” Adeboye said. “Whatever was not planted by Him will be uprooted. When your time for manifestation comes, you will weep no more.”
He encouraged Christians to remain steadfast in faith, submit to God, and live righteously. “Stop pretending to be Christians. When He saves your soul, run from sin. God will work through those who truly abide in Him,” he added.
Addressing the socio-political climate in Plateau, Pastor Adeboye prophesied a positive turnaround for the state. “Plateau will reclaim its lost glory,” he declared.
Representing Governor Caleb Mutfwang at the event, the Secretary to the State Government, Samuel Jatau, thanked Pastor Adeboye for his continued prayers and belief in the state’s potential. “Despite the challenges, Plateau remains one of the safest states in Northern Nigeria,” he said.
Earlier, Pastor Dagunduro, the Deputy Continental Overseer, led prayers for peace in Plateau, particularly in light of recent violence in some communities.
Pastor Tony Curtis Ukagwu, the regional pastor, welcomed participants and described the gathering as a divine opportunity for believers to reconnect with God. Pastor Odeyemi, Continental Overseer Africa Continent 2, also emphasized the importance of unity in the faith and a return to God.
The service featured praise from the RCCG Mass Choir and Region 8 Praise Team, intercessory prayers for Plateau and Nigeria, and testimonies from congregants who shared personal experiences of divine intervention.

Nigeria’s Flying Eagles could be handed a lifeline in their quest to qualify for the 2027 FIFA U-20 World Cup following reports that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) is considering including the team in the 2027 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.
The development follows Ghana’s reported removal as hosts of the continental competition, potentially creating an opening for Nigeria to secure a place in the tournament.
Sports247 reports that CAF has informed the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to keep the Flying Eagles on standby for a possible invitation to the 2027 U-20 AFCON.
Nigeria initially missed out on automatic qualification after suffering a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Burkina Faso in the final of the 2026 WAFU Zone B U-20 Championship.
Burkina Faso secured the region’s automatic qualification ticket, while Ghana were expected to occupy the second available place as hosts of the continental tournament.
However, Ghana’s reported failure to meet CAF’s hosting requirements has thrown the arrangement into uncertainty, with the continental governing body expected to appoint a new host.
The situation could work in Nigeria’s favour, with the Flying Eagles potentially considered for the place initially reserved for Ghana as tournament hosts, having finished runners-up in the WAFU Zone B competition.
Although CAF is yet to make an official announcement confirming Nigeria’s inclusion, the reported development has raised hopes of a second opportunity for the seven-time African champions.
The 2027 U-20 AFCON will carry additional significance as it will also serve as Africa’s qualifying competition for the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
According to CAF’s qualification format, the four semi-finalists will represent the continent at the global tournament.
Nigeria’s possible inclusion would therefore provide the Flying Eagles with another opportunity to compete for continental honours and keep their World Cup ambitions alive.
The West African giants have a proud history at the FIFA U-20 World Cup, having finished runners-up on two occasions, in 1989 and 2005.
For now, Nigeria will await CAF’s final decision, with the reported development offering renewed hope after their disappointment in the WAFU Zone B final.
