The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God,
RCCG, Pastor E.A Adeboye, has pleaded with youths in his
church to desist from uploading his messages on the social
media, and spare him the torrents of backlash such upload can
attract from millions of social media users.
He also begged not to be quoted.
This is coming after the pastor was widely upbraided over his
counsel to young men and women concerning marriage.
warned women, “Don’t marry a man who has no job. Before
God gave Adam Eve, he gave him a job.
He said, ‘This is the garden, keep it.’ So when anybody comes
to you and say, ‘Sister, thus saith the Lord, you are going to
be the star in my firmament,’ ask him — ‘What is your job?’”
In another video, he advised men, “Marry a prayer warrior!
Don’t marry any girl who cannot pray for one hour non-stop.
Don’t marry a girl who is lazy! If she is lazy when she is
single, what will happen if she is married?
Following his messages, many social media users had
lambasted him.
The likes of the daughter of Victor Omololu Olunloyo – a
former governor of Oyo State, Kemi Olunloyo, whose public
criticism of people knows no bounds, called him a lunatic for
his alleged unwise advice.
Among others, a former Nigerian Prophet and Evangelist
Minister at Windows of Heaven Revival Outreach, London,
United Kingdom, Folayan Osekita had faulted Adeboye’s
warnings, saying people have their different stories when it
comes to marriage.
But months after trolls called him out, Daddy G.O, as
Adeboye is fondly called, has begged youths of the church to
stop uploading his videos or quoting him on social media.
Speaking during the church’s youth program plenary session
themed ‘vessels unto honour’ some days ago, the popular
pastor pleaded with the participants to spare him the problem
of social media by not uploading the program’s video on
YouTube.
He said, “Spare me the problem.
“I’m not talking to you so that you can put me on YouTube,”
the pastor pleaded.
