The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has reiterated how God saved him from going to hell fire in 1973 when he heeded the altar call and gave his life to God.

Speaking at the Thanksgiving Service at the RCCG Headquarters at the Throne of Grace, Ebute Metta, Lagos with the theme; “Songs of Victory”, Adeboye said the song a man sings will determine what he is passing through.

He urged worshippers who thronged the venue and others watching online to praise God with all their hearts from for His wonderful works in their lives from January till today

Drawing references from Hannah experience after God gave her Samuel after being barren for many years in the Bible according to 1 Samuel 2;1–2, Adeboye said it was there the popular song, ‘Who is like thee, Oh, Lord was taken’

He, however, said King David had to compose a song in Paslm 18 when God help him to conquer all his enemies.

Adeboye said it’s very important for one to be a friend of God so that God will fight for him without having to lift a finger.

He said; “I thought I was doing fine. A young man and a lecturer in the University. I have built a house and I have a car. I have a wife and children. I never knew I was on my way to hell before I eventually met God in 1973. And that is why I have imported ‘hallelujah’ to all my songs when I realized how close I was to hell before God intervention”

In a special ĺetter he personally signed to the Christian Church of God Worldwide (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye and titled “IT’S TIME TO FLY” he said; “We thank the Almighty God, the controller of the universe, for the privilege of celebrating another Holy Ghost Congress.

“He has preserved us all through the year since the last Congress for a special evening experience at this year’s Holy Ghost Congress. May His Name be glorified forever in Jesus’ mighty name!”, he said.

Controversial singer, Portable, has been arrested by the Lagos state police command for allegedly failing to pay the debt he incurred after purchasing his G-Wagon from a car dealer.

The singer, born Habeeb Okikiola, was apprehended on Tuesday, Benjamin Hundeyin, the state police spokesperson, told TheCable Lifestyle.

“Yes, Portable has been arrested,” Hundeyin said.

The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker was said to have bought the vehicle worth N27 million but paid only N13 million.

Portable allegedly refused to pay the remaining N14 million and whenever the car dealer requested for his money, he always claimed the vehicle was having issues.

The singer purchased the car last year and was once seen using the vehicle to distribute food items to children on the streets.

This is not the first time Portable will be arrested by the police. In April last year, the Ogun police arrested the singer over an alleged assault.

The arrest came after the expiration of the 72-hour ultimatum given to him to turn himself in.

He has also produced hit tracks including ‘All Eyes On Me’, ‘Clear Azaman’, ‘Neighbour’, and ‘Ogo Forever’.
