Written by On the third day of the RCCG Convention 2024, the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment was brought to the forefront by Pastor Tunde Abdullai, the National Head of Sanitation at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). Known for his unwavering commitment to excellence in service, Pastor Abdullai invited Dr. Simidu Stephen, the Head of the RCCG Environmental Health Services Department, Redemption City, to speak to the national sanitation team.
The enlightening session took place during the national sanitation morning devotion on Wednesday, August 7th, 2024. Dr. Stephen used this platform to express his deep appreciation for the grace of God manifest in the life of Pastor Abdullai. He commended Pastor Abdullai’s dedication to the work of God and his commitment to humanity, highlighting his cooperative spirit and his efforts in promoting environmental hygiene within the Redemption City.
In his address, Dr. Stephen passionately emphasized the vital connection between cleanliness and godliness, urging the sanitation team to fully embrace the responsibility of maintaining a clean environment during and after the convention. “Cleanliness,” he declared, “is indeed next to godliness,” and this principle, he insisted, must guide the efforts of the sanitation team throughout the convention and beyond.
The lecture concluded with a practical demonstration of best practices in sanitation, as Pastor Abdullai and Dr. Stephen led the sanitation team through a hands-on session which lasted throughout the next day Thursday 8th August, 2024 . This practical approach underscored the importance of not only discussing environmental hygiene but actively practicing it within the Redemption City of God.
The session was a testament to the RCCG’s commitment to upholding high standards of environmental health, ensuring that the convention grounds reflect the spiritual purity and excellence that the church strives for. The leadership of Pastor Abdullai and Dr. Stephen in this regard sets a powerful example for all, reinforcing the belief that service to God is also reflected in the stewardship of the environment.
