Nigerian singer, Michael Adebayo, professionally known as Ruger, has shared a testimony about his encounter with God at his childhood church, Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) in Lagos.
The ‘Asiwaju’ hitmaker made the disclosure whilst attending the church’s crossover service, a tradition he said he had missed for two years due to being outside the country.
The singer said because of his determination to to be in church this year, he instructed his manager to cancel any scheduled shows that might conflict with the service.
Ruger, who was overcome with emotion, said he shed tears for the first time in four years after his encounter with God.
He also expressed his gratitude to God, the congregation, and the church authority for their spiritual guidance and support.
“Happy New Year to everybody. Today, I am so happy to be here. Today, my manager texted me and told me that I have one show tonight. And I told him to cancel it that I did not care,” he said.
“I have to be in church because in 2021, I was in church here. I missed the crossover service for 2022 and 2023 because I was outside the country. I told my manager to close all shows before the crossover service because I would not miss it. Whatever it is, we are not taking it,” he said.
“I thank God. I have not cried in like four years. Today, I saw God again, and I cried. I thank God for my life. I thank God for everybody here. I thank God for everybody who has nurtured me since I started in this church.
“This is a very caring church. Because, if this church is not great, great people would not come out of this church.”
