The renowned cleric said this on Sunday, January 1, 2023, during his New Year sermon.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has said Nigerians have many reasons to celebrate the new year.

Speaking on Sunday, January 1, 2023, during his New Year sermon, Adeboye said it is worth celebrating to have survived the so many hurdles that plagued the year 2022, including murderers wearing police uniforms.

He told the congregation that they were survivors because somebody (God) was taking care of them.

“It is good to celebrate yourself,” Adeboye said, asking the people to go ahead and celebrate themselves.

“You’re going to be helping yourself by visiting two or three people by telling them to celebrate you, tell them: Celebrate me, I’m a survivor,’ he added.

“When you say you’re a survivor, let your neighbor know. Ebola came, I survived, Coronavirus came, I survived, kidnappers are out there, I survived, bandits are out out there, I survived, there are murderers wearing police uniforms, I survived. Go ahead, tell three or four people: ‘I am a survivor. Celebrate me,’ the cleric said.
