Pastor Adeboye to Lead Global Prayer for Singles and Waiting Mothers

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has announced a special global prayer session that promises to be one of the most anticipated gatherings for singles, waiting mothers, and families believing God for divine intervention in their personal lives. The revered cleric, fondly called “Daddy G.O” by millions of his followers, will lead the event during the church’s November 2025 Thanksgiving Service, scheduled for Sunday, November 2, at 8:00 a.m.

The announcement, made in Lagos through Oladele Balogun, the Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Administration, has already stirred excitement and renewed faith across RCCG parishes worldwide. According to the statement, the session is divinely inspired and specifically designed to support those trusting God for marital settlement and the fruit of the womb. For many, the declaration comes as a timely message of hope in an age where loneliness, delayed marriages, and fertility struggles have become increasingly prevalent challenges among believers and the wider society.

Pastor Adeboye, a man known for his prophetic insights and gentle authority, explained that the decision to hold the prayer session was influenced by both spiritual guidance and statistical realities. He cited recent population data showing that singles and mature singles make up more than 40 percent of Nigeria’s adult population—a staggering figure that reflects a growing community yearning for marital breakthroughs and meaningful companionship. The cleric emphasized that while marriage is not a race, it remains an institution divinely ordained by God, and those desiring it should not lose faith or give in to societal pressure.

In his words, “God is still in the business of matching lives and making homes. There is no situation too difficult for Him to turn around. Whether you are 25 or 55, whether you have been waiting for months or decades, there is a God who answers prayers. This session will not just be another gathering; it will be a divine visitation.” His declaration has already sparked widespread conversation among members of the RCCG community and beyond, many of whom see the move as both pastoral and prophetic.

Within hours of the announcement, social media platforms were abuzz with testimonies from those who had attended previous RCCG programs and experienced marital or fertility miracles afterward. On X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, hashtags like #RCCGPrayerForSingles, #DaddyGOMiracleService, and #FruitfulNovember began trending in Christian circles. For countless waiting mothers, the news was met with tears of gratitude and anticipation. “I believe my story will change this November,” wrote one participant from Port Harcourt. “If Daddy G.O is leading the prayers himself, I know something will happen.”

Over the years, Pastor Adeboye has become synonymous with faith-driven intercession, humility, and testimonies of divine breakthroughs. His monthly Holy Ghost Services, which attract millions physically and online, have become spiritual lifelines for believers around the world. This special session for singles and waiting mothers, however, carries a unique emotional weight. It speaks directly to two of life’s most sensitive and personal struggles—the desire for a life partner and the longing for children.

In many Nigerian and African contexts, these issues are not merely personal—they often carry social stigma and emotional burdens. Pastor Adeboye’s initiative, therefore, is being seen as an empathetic pastoral response to a deep societal need. According to Oladele Balogun’s statement, the prayer will not only be about petitions but also about restoration, healing, and divine alignment. “This is not just about getting married or having children,” he said. “It is about finding God’s will, His timing, and His peace in every stage of life.”

RCCG members across over 190 countries have already begun preparations for the event. Many parishes are planning watch parties and extended prayer vigils leading up to the service. The Redemption City in Mowe, Ogun State, which will serve as the main venue, is expected to witness a massive turnout. The church’s logistics teams are reportedly working round the clock to ensure seamless coordination, while virtual attendance options will be made available through RCCG’s YouTube and Dove TV channels, making it accessible to millions globally.

Religious observers say Adeboye’s latest initiative reflects the growing recognition within faith communities of the social and emotional struggles of singles and childless couples. While RCCG has long emphasized family values and marital stability, this targeted focus marks a significant shift toward addressing the realities of a generation where delayed marriage and infertility are increasingly common. Some have even described it as “a spiritual therapy session for the lonely hearts of a fast-changing world.”

Adeboye, who has often shared personal testimonies of God’s faithfulness in his own family life, has consistently maintained that no situation is beyond divine intervention. During past services, he has narrated stories of couples who conceived after years of waiting and singles who found their partners in unexpected ways after attending special prayer meetings. For many, these stories have kept hope alive.

A source within the church’s National Youth Ministry noted that the prayer session also aims to strengthen the faith of young adults, many of whom are growing increasingly anxious about marriage in today’s fast-paced society. “Pastor Adeboye understands the times we live in,” the source said. “This generation is dealing with new pressures—career priorities, economic challenges, and social media comparisons. The church is providing spiritual and emotional covering to guide them through it.”

Already, several prominent gospel ministers and worship leaders have confirmed participation in the Thanksgiving Service, promising an atmosphere charged with faith, music, and spiritual renewal. The program will reportedly feature segments dedicated to intercession, thanksgiving, and testimonies from previous beneficiaries of similar prayer sessions.

In a world where faith and hope are constantly tested, this upcoming gathering feels like more than a religious event—it is a reminder that spiritual leadership can still offer comfort, community, and courage in uncertain times. For many believers, November 2, 2025, is not just a date on the calendar; it represents a divine appointment, a moment where heaven and earth might meet in response to earnest prayers.

As anticipation builds, thousands have already begun fasting and praying ahead of the service, believing that their long-awaited answers are near. For some, it will be a day of tears—tears of release, healing, or gratitude. For others, it will be a day of renewed strength to keep waiting, trusting, and believing.

And as Pastor Adeboye prepares to lift his hands in prayer before millions of hopeful hearts, one thing is certain—the sound of faith will echo far beyond the Redemption City. It will reach the quiet rooms of singles who still believe in love, the hospital wards of women waiting for their miracle babies, and the hearts of families who still trust that with God, delay is never denial.
