The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has issued a stern warning to those who criticise and mock him, advising them to tread carefully as they may face dire consequences.

Pastor Adeboye who spoke with a blend of humility and divine assurance was Speaking at the monthly Holy Ghost service themed “Shielded by Fire” at The Redemption City.

The revered man of God who acknowledged his own perceived insignificance and weaknesses, stressed the invincible might of the God he serves, describing Him as a “consuming fire.”

His warning comes in the wake of ongoing criticism directed at him by various public figures, including celebrities and on-air personalities, over some of his controversial declarations and comments.

Pastor Adeboye emphasised the paradoxical nature of divine selection, stating that God often chooses the foolish, the weak, and the nobodies for His purpose to ensure He alone receives the glory.

The call to caution resonated deeply during the anointing service, where the atmosphere was charged with spiritual fervor.

Attendees of the service were reminded of the biblical principle that God’s chosen vessels, despite their earthly vulnerabilities, are protected and empowered by a formidable divine force.

As the news of Pastor Adeboye’s sermon spreads, it is likely to ignite further discussions on the interplay between religious authority and public scrutiny, highlighting the delicate balance between freedom of expression and respect for spiritual leadership.

In his words, “If Paul, who wrote more than half of the New Testament, claimed to be less than the least of the saint, according to Ephesians 3:8, Pastor Adeboye is nothing.

“However, his God is everything. Listen to me carefully, Adeboye is one stupid boy and I would prove it to you before I close, But his God is wiser than the wisest.

“Adeboye is weak, he eats pounded yam and goes to the toilet. But his God is stronger than the strongest. Adeboye is nothing but his God is the All-sufficient God.

“So there is nothing spectacular. There is no big deal if you mock Pastor Adeboye. He deserves to be mocked.

“The word of God made it abundantly clear. Anyone that God will use must be weak, foolish, and a nobody, so that only God will take the glory. So you can mock Adeboye, but you must not mock his God.

“Why? Because Adeboye is nothing, there is nothing he can do to you. But his God is a Consuming fire.”

“Going further, he revered cleric asked his members series of questions.

“I want to ask you some questions. The fact that the leaders of Boko Haram are Muslims or claimed to be Muslims, does that mean every Muslim is a terrorist?

“Because one Islamic cleric said they should kill our first lady, does that mean every Imman is a murderer.

“There was this guy called HUSSPUPPY, the fellow who was the original 419 man that was arrested in Dubai. He happens to be a Nigerian, does that mean every Nigerian man is a 419?

“If a pastor and his wife do something insensitive somewhere, does that mean every pastor everywhere is insensitive?

“Then what about this pastor somewhere in Ireland. They said he committed all manners of atrocities. How will you explain that?

“Number one, the way they reported it in Nigeria is different from the way is reported where it happen.

“Over there they said “a former pastor”. Meaning he used to be. But put that one aside.

“They didn’t tell you the whole story, they did not tell you that they did not catch the boy. But he reported himself and why did he report himself, he heard a sermon on restitution and decided it is better to suffer shame while here on earth than to go to hell.

“And where did he hear that sermon, in the Redeemed Christian Church of God. We are among the few churches left in the world that ever talk about restitution.
