Adeboye spoke on Sunday during a sermon titled ‘The Master Builder’ at the church’s monthly thanksgiving service.

The cleric urged Christians and Nigerians to remain calm, assuring them that “evil will not prevail” despite the surge in violent attacks across the country.

Addressing worshippers during a broadcast, Adeboye said Nigeria’s security challenges underscore the truth that only God builds and protects His church.

He said regardless of pressure, threats, or intimidation faced by Christian communities, divine protection remains assured.

Adeboye added that God’s authority surpasses every human or demonic power.

His remarks come amid repeated attacks on churches in recent years, including kidnappings, shootings, and other violent assaults.

The incidents have left many worshippers injured, displaced, or killed, fuelling fear and renewed calls for improved security.

Despite the challenges, Adeboye said believers must not give in to fear.

“When God opens a door, nobody can shut it. And when God shuts a door, nobody can open it. So I have good news for you, my children. Put your mind at rest. The gates of hell shall not prevail. Whether the devil likes it or not, the church is going to laugh last,” he said.

Adeboye said God’s role as “the Master Builder” guarantees the church’s survival and growth, adding that the scripture has already assured victory for Nigeria and its people.
