The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has released his prophecies for 2026, predicting economic recovery, reduced hunger, and a reversal in Nigeria’s migration trend.
Delivering the message during the church’s annual crossover service at Redemption City on New Year’s Eve, Adeboye expressed optimism about Nigeria’s outlook in the new year, while offering cautious hope for global stability.
According to the cleric, 2026 will witness a reduction in hunger across the country, alongside the growth of small and medium-scale enterprises. He added that these developments would help improve livelihoods and stimulate broader economic recovery.
Adeboye also foretold a “reverse japa” trend, popularly referred to as Japada where Nigerians who migrated abroad in search of better opportunities would begin returning home.
“This year, there will be a reduction in hunger. Small and medium enterprises will begin to blossom. There will also be what I can only describe as reverse japa, as many who left the country will return,” he said.
On the international scene, the RCCG leader predicted a lower likelihood of a major global conflict in 2026 compared to the previous year. However, he cautioned that while global weather patterns would be similar to those of 2025, there could be the occurrence of a few major hurricanes.
Speaking more broadly, Adeboye described 2026 as a year of increased opportunities, breakthroughs, and individual success. He noted that the momentum which began in 2024 would intensify, bringing more victories and fewer failures.
“2026 will be more remarkable than 2025. There will be more opportunities, more breakthroughs, more successes, more victories, and less failure. Many testimonies this year will begin with the words, ‘God remembered me at last,” Adeboye added.
The service, which ended in the early hours of January 1, has since generated widespread reactions on social media, particularly around the prophecy of a reversed migration trend.
Some worshippers who spoke with newsmen after the church service, expressed hope and excitement, others questioned whether government policies and economic reforms would align with the optimistic outlook.
As discussions continue, many observers note that the realisation of these prophecies may depend on the interplay between faith, governance, and concrete policy actions in the year ahead.
