A historic and deeply inspiring “Evening of Reading and Review” hosted by The Literary Book Convention recently turned out to be a great fusion of literary excellence, spiritual devotion, and patriotic fervor.
The event which took place at the Amphitheatre of Emmanuel Park in Redemption City of God also served to celebrate Nigeria’s Independence.
It offered a roadmap for national rebirth through the literary works of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and his wife, Pastor Mrs. Folu Adeboye.
Dove Television, broadcasting live from the venue, reported an atmosphere charged with enthusiasm as scholars, ministers, and book lovers gathered to dissect two seminal texts: ‘The Holy Spirit In the Life of Elijah’ by Pastor E.A. Adeboye, and ‘Ministry of Missions’ by Pastor Mrs. Folu Adeboye.
The Convener of The Literary Book Convention, Pastor Oluwatosin Onayiga, expressed profound joy at the success of the initiative, emphasizing that the programme was intentionally designed to honor Nigeria’s independence milestone by feeding the mind and spirit with quality books
“We are ecstatic to bring this beautiful programme to life at such a pivotal time in our nation’s history,” says Pastor Onayiga
Celebrating Nigeria’s independence according to him shouldn’t just be about pageantry. ” it must involve a deliberate engagement with literature that heals, instructs, and transforms the mind.
“By reviewing the profound insights of our spiritual parents, we are offering Nigeria a divine blueprint for restoration. The Literary Book Convention is proud to champion this intellectual and spiritual awakening!” He said.
Review of Holy Spirit in the life of Elijah
Pastor Michael Adekunle, Head of Presentation at Dove Television, read and reviewed ‘The Holy Spirit In the Life of Elijah’.
He illuminated the critical intersection between spiritual authority and national governance, drawing immediate parallels to contemporary Nigeria.
“This book is an urgent wake-up call for our nation,” Pastor Adekunle stated during his impassioned presentation.
He stated “Pastor Adeboye beautifully demonstrates through the life of Elijah that when the Holy Spirit guides a leader, the state prospers. Nigeria stands at a crossroads, and it is only through the prophetic unction and reliance on the Holy Spirit, as detailed in this masterpiece, that our national economy, leadership, and social fabric can be miraculously repaired. To believe the prophet is to prosper!”
Ministry of missions
Shifting the lens to global impact and institutional structure, Dr. Dare Ojo, a Consultant with Redeemer’s Health Village and RCCG Assistant Pastor in charge of one of the regions in the church, delivered an exciting review of Pastor Mrs. Folu Adeboye’s ‘Ministry of Missions’.
Dr. Ojo captivated the audience, stating, “Mummy GO has handed us an invaluable, timeless manual for global transformation. ‘Ministry of Missions’ proves beyond a doubt that ‘Mission is Possible’ no matter how daunting the terrain looks.
This book is a strategic masterstroke, showing how structured outreach, compassion, and healthcare evangelism can heal broken communities. If we apply these exact missionary principles to our civic duties, Nigeria will experience an unprecedented socio-economic renaissance!”
The intellectual depth of the evening was further elevated during a high-octane panel discussion featuring esteemed theologians from the Redeemed Christian Church Theological College (RCCTC) alongside the brilliant insights of Pastor Niyi Osinubi.
The panelists harmonized the themes of spiritual prophecy and structural missions, concluding that the destiny of the nation relies heavily on the church
