Adeboye Urges Nigerians to Combat Anxiety Through Faith

During a sermon at the Redeemed Christian Church of God headquarters in Lagos on Sunday, Pastor Enoch Adeboye urged Nigerians to overcome anxiety and pressure by incorporating rejoicing, praying, and giving thanks into their daily routines. He emphasized that these practices, when performed wholeheartedly, could significantly transform a person's life.

Citing 1 Thessalonians 5:16–17, Adeboye encouraged believers to start each day with joy, stating, “When you wake up every morning, rejoice. Praise God.” He reassured that worrying about the future is unnecessary for those who trust in God, asserting that God who cared for them in the past will continue to do so.

Adeboye also stressed the importance of maintaining a regular prayer life and advised against allowing problems to overwhelm individuals. He concluded by emphasizing the need to give thanks in all circumstances, regardless of challenges faced.

The service was dedicated to judges and lawyers, where Adeboye spoke on advocacy, referencing Romans 8:31.
