…warns of Third World War threat
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has declared 100 days of fasting and prayer to intercede for global peace and avert the possibility of a third World War.
Speaking during the RCCG’s first Holy Ghost Service of the year at Redemption City, Adeboye expressed concern over escalating conflicts around the world.
He warned that if these tensions were not addressed, they could spiral into a global crisis.
“We are to pray against new wars, that new wars will not start and the old wars will not get out of control so that we don’t have another world war,” he urged. “If there is a world war, it will affect you wherever you are.”
Adeboye outlined specific instructions for the fasting period, exempting members aged 70 and above from full participation.
“If you are over 70, your prayers are like local calls to heaven—you don’t need an international code. You have already gotten the boarding pass,” he said humorously.
“But if you insist on joining, you may break your fast at 3 p.m. daily. For those over 80, you can break at 12 noon. If you are over 90, we don’t want you to fast at all; we don’t want you to go yet.”
The first 30 days of the fast, he noted, would focus on prayers for Nigeria, including petitions against corruption and sabotage.
He cautioned that some of these prayers would be “violent” in nature, targeting those determined to ruin the nation.

Adeboye also reminded members to remain spiritually focused during the fast. “When you are on a fast, you talk less. Go to the church by 6 p.m. to pray together,” he advised.
Highlighting divine revelations for the year, Adeboye predicted a season of significant breakthroughs and progress for many individuals.
“The Lord says the day someone has been waiting for will occur this year. There will be many wedding bells,” he proclaimed.
“The wind will be blowing stronger than before, and one implication of that is there will be remarkable promotions.”
On the global front, Adeboye called for prayers against an increase in natural disasters, including violent storms, floods, and fire outbreaks, which he said could surpass previous occurrences in intensity.
He emphasised the importance of vigilance, stating, “The Lord wants us to pray against these disasters and new wars. We must ensure the old wars do not escalate into a Third World War.”
