We use the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies (CMBA) power spectra to constrain the cosmological variation of gravitational constant G. It is found that the sensitivity of CMBA to the variation of G is enhanced when G is required to converge to its present value. The variations of G from the CMB decoupling epoch z ~ 1000 to the present time are modelled by a step function and a linear function of scale factor $a$ respectively, and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals for G/G_0 are [0.95, 1.05] and [0.89, 1.13], G_0 being the present value. The CMBA constraint is unique in the sense that it entails the range of redshift from z \approx 1000 to 0.
