9ja Ninja's Blog: World Guinness Book: RCCG Youths Break Record...(photos)

"That moment”, came for me at about two minutes to the end of the 73 hours marathon praise. With goose bumps all over my raised arms and sweat trickling down like stream on every part of my body alongside the shout of “Arise” renting the entire 5000 seating capacity hall of the Youth Centre RCCG, I was sure God has visited me.

The record breaking and making 73 hours marathon praise, organized by the National Youth Affairs of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) to commemorate the 73rd birthday anniversary of Pastor E.A Adeboye has come/gone, and oh my was it awesome?!
The thrilling worship sessions which took place at the Youth Centre, Redemption Camp began at exactly 2:00pm on March 2nd (the actual birthday of Daddy G.O- as he is fondly called) and ended at exactly 3:00pm on March 5, 2015.

The enduring pure and true worship sessions, tagged Marathon Messiah Praise, is an initiative which started in 2012, when Pastor Adeboye, the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), turned 70 years old.

In 2012, 70 hours marathon praise was held, with each hour marking each year of his life.

So as he marked 73 years this year, a 73 hours of worship was offered on his behalf as a memorial to God.

The 70 hours marathon worship, is the first of its kind, making a record as the longest marathon worship to God. And now, with the 73 hours marathon messiah praise, this record has been broken and another record set in the Guinness Book of World Records..how ah-mazing!

The magnificent Youth centre that hosted the thousands of RCCG youths lays at one extreme of the Redemption camp. As I stepped into hall, the coziness of the gigantic air conditioners flushed my face at the beginning of the programme.

On citing the jaw breaking stage that was designed by Ultima with various warm and bright lights, I immediately knew this was no joke.

The beautifully arranged stage with splashes of light gave the hall the needed gospel concert glow.

While the ground floor of the hall was opened to all worshipers, the gallery was reserved for media personalities (Like yours truly).

The Dove Media, Redemption TV, Live Way Productions and other independent media persons were in attendance to pen the details of this auspicious event.

The opening worship and praise session was just soul-lifting. The host choir Marathon Messiah Praise mass choir set the tune of the event, with ecstatic worship to God.

The high praise continued with praise leaders taking one hour each, to lead worshipers into God’s presence.

Ebenezer Obey, Buchi, Bukola Bekes, Yetunde Are, Bidemi Oloba, Enitan Adaba, National RCCG youths and Teens Praise team, Regional Choirs, Big Bolaji, BEEJAY SAX, Femi Okunuga, Taiwo Ibidapo, Tosin Bee, Healing Streams from Daystar Christian Centre, Kunle Ajayi, Perfected Praise Singers, Pastor’s Seed Forum (PSF) and more were some of the performers....BTW, i was hoping to see gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey, I always look forward to his worship session but dude didn't show up :(...it is all good anyway!
