On December 31, singer Ruger, born Michael Adebayo, made a heartfelt return to the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) in Lagos.
The “Asiwaju” hitmaker attended the church’s crossover service, reconnecting with the spiritual roots of his childhood.
Having missed the previous two services due to international engagements, this return marked a significant moment for the artist.
Canceling commitments for spiritual priorities
He demonstrated his dedication to his faith by putting it above his career. Determined to attend the service, he instructed his manager to cancel any conflicting shows. “Whatever it is, we are not taking it,” he stated firmly. This decision highlighted the singer’s resolve to honor his spiritual commitments.
A deeply emotional encounter
The crossover service proved transformative for Ruger. During the ceremony, he experienced what he described as a profound spiritual moment. Overwhelmed with emotion, he cried for the first time in four years. “Today, I saw God again, and I cried,” Ruger shared with the congregation. “I thank God for my life and everyone here.”
Gratitude for community and support
Addressing the church, Ruger expressed heartfelt appreciation for the role it has played in his journey. He thanked the congregation and church leaders for their spiritual guidance and support, crediting them for nurturing his growth. “This church has been my home since childhood,” he said. “I thank God for everyone who has nurtured me here. You’ve all been a part of my journey.”

Reflecting on faith and roots
The musician also praised the CCC as a place that fosters success and character. He acknowledged how its teachings and community have shaped his life. Despite his global fame and demanding schedule, the singer’s return to his childhood church underscored his deep connection to his roots and faith.
A New year with renewed purpose
For him, the crossover service was more than a religious gathering—it was a moment of clarity, renewal, and gratitude. As he wished the congregation a Happy New Year, his words carried a powerful message about the importance of faith, family, and community.
This emotional return to the CCC marked a new chapter for Ruger, one where he reaffirmed his values and reconnected with the faith that continues to guide him.
