Nigerian music sensation, Michael Adebayo, popularly known as Ruger, has opened up about a profound spiritual encounter at the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) in Lagos where he grew up worshipping.
The ‘Asiwaju’ crooner attended the church’s 2024 crossover service on Tuesday night, a tradition he had missed for two years due to international engagements.
Determined not to let it happen again, Ruger instructed his manager to cancel all scheduled shows that could interfere with the event.
During the testimony session, Ruger shared his emotional breakthrough, recounting how he shed tears for the first time in four years, a moment he attributed to feeling God’s presence.
He went on to thank God, the congregation, and the church leadership for their role in shaping his spiritual and personal growth.
