RCCG CONVENTION
The story of how a Lagos socialite tried to seduce
him gives give credence to the saying that the
bigger the head, the bigger the headache. This
readily formed the nucleus of Pastor Enoch
Adeboye’s sermon on Thursday night at the
ongoing 62nd annual convention of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, RCCG.
It was a deliverance service and almost one
million people had converged at the auditorium of
the Redemption Camp for the event and they were
held spellbound when, their revered General
Overseer, Pastor Adeboye started to narrate a
ministry-threatening experience he had to the
consternation of the crowd.
Preaching a sermon titled; ‘The yoke-destroyer’,
the man of God enumerated three different kinds
of yoke that truncate one’s dream of nosy future
to include; physical yoke, material yoke and
spiritual yoke, explaining that the Holy Spirit is
the only yoke destroyer who is able to destroy
any form of yoke in any man’s life. He further
challenged the congregation to be filled with the
power of the Holy Spirit and be agents of God
who will be breaking yokes, noting that there
were certain forces or challenges of life that
human beings cannot solve by their own efforts
except through the help of the Holy Spirit.
Drawing inspirations from the Holy Bible, where
many persons were said to have undergone
several life-threatening challenges, he narrated
that a high profile woman who was an executive
of the West African Examinations Council, WAEC,
did everything to seduce him. According to him,
the woman came to him and announced to him
that God had told her that he would be her
husband, and immediately he rebuked her, saying
“you know that I am happily married and have
children.” That didn’t deter the woman who
continued to pester him, and even came to the
camp to threaten him, saying “if you stand on my
way to marrying this man, I will kill you.”
Continuing, Pastor Adeboye took the matter to
then Inspector General of Police who immediately
invited the woman and her husband to his office
and after a meeting banned the randy woman
from entering the Redemption Camp or ever
making passes at the man of God. “But that
measure didn’t stop her. I travelled to London
without telling anybody, to work on the church’s
devotional, Open Heaven. As soon as I settled
down in the room, the telephone rang and the
voice at the other end said: “welcome to London.
I am coming in 15 minutes,” the cleric continued,
wondering why his audience responded with a
laughter.
Continuing, he said he told the voice: “You don’t
know anything, you know that the Police in
London are very efficient and if you dare come
here, I will call the Police for you.” There is a
Police station a few meters from where I am
staying and she must have known that because
she didn’t come but kept calling me.
“I cried to God Who told me ‘You know of the
scripture that says, whatever you bind on earth is
bound in heaven.’ Believe me honestly, unless God
helps, there are thongs you cannot handle on
your own,” he stated, urging the large crowd to
stand and pray with holy anger: “Anyone
hindering my progress, before this month is over,
Holy Spirit send down Your fire to consume
them”. And spontaneously, the huge crowd of
worshippers responded with over 15 minutes of
violent supplications to the Most High God.
