During their second visit to Trinity Towers, the home of the RCCG City of David parish, which serves as the headquarters of the Apapa Family—now The Favoured Family, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, alongside his wife, Pastor (Mrs.) Folu Adeboye, received a divine instruction to rename the well-known family within the RCCG structure.
Preaching from 2 Kings 2:19-24, Pastor Adeboye explained that the Apapa Family needed a fresh outpouring of grace, symbolized by the reintroduction of salt and a new cruse. He emphasized that the salt represented God bringing back taste and seasoning, removing bitterness, keeping away demonic influences, and ushering in rapid progress. The new cruse, he said, signified a fresh start, a restoration of lost glory, and a renewed determination to rekindle the fire of spiritual fervency. If anyone had once been hot and had grown lukewarm, they would now burn brightly again.
With this divine instruction, the renaming of the family marks a new chapter, a fresh direction, and a renewed purpose for what is now known as The Favoured Family.
