By THE General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has released his prophecies for 2026, declaring the year will be more remarkable than 2025, with renewed opportunities, reduced hunger in Nigeria and a possible wave of Japada — the return of Nigerians who previously relocated abroad.
Speaking during the church’s annual crossover service, Pastor Adeboye said the “wind that has been blowing since 2024” would continue with greater intensity in 2026, ushering in more breakthroughs, victories and testimonies, while failures would significantly reduce.
According to him, many testimonies in the coming year would be marked by divine remembrance.
“A lot of testimonies this year will begin with the words, ‘God remembered me at last,’” he declared.
Focusing on Nigeria, the cleric said his prophecies were in two parts, noting that he would pray further before releasing the second part.
However, he revealed that 2026 would witness a reduction in hunger across the country, alongside the revival and blossoming of small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs).
In a striking reference to the ongoing wave of emigration popularly known as japa, Pastor Adeboye predicted a reversal of the trend, stating that many Nigerians who had relocated abroad would return home — a movement now dubbed Japada.
On the international front, the revered cleric said the likelihood of a major global war in 2026 would be lower than in the previous year.
He added that global weather patterns would largely mirror those of 2025, although there remains a possibility of a few major hurricanes.
Pastor Adeboye emphasised that the prophecies would be communicated through RCCG’s leadership structure, from pastors to house fellowship leaders, assuring members that the revelations were divinely inspired.
“It is the Almighty God that rules over the affairs of men,” he said.
He also announced that the church’s annual fast would not commence on January 11, drawing light-hearted reactions from the congregation.
The prophecies have since sparked conversations across religious and social spaces, particularly around the prospects of economic recovery and the anticipated return of Nigerians from the diaspora in 2026.
