General Overseer of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has explained that he is
careful in making public comments to avoid mistakes.
In an interview with Haaretz newspaper
during a visit to Jerusalem, Adeboye said he had shied away from
speaking out on national issues in order to avoid influencing people in
the wrong way.
He also said he was aware of the
enormous responsibility on his shoulders as the leader of a global
church with millions of members.
“At times it’s frightening. In Africa
you have a saying, the man who is carrying a basket of eggs must walk
gently … whatever mistakes you make, you affect destinies,” he said.
Adeboye stated that his transformation
from a Mathematics lecturer at the University of Lagos to a pastor was a
divine call, noting that he has a mandate to preach peace everywhere he
goes.
“I’ve always said turning a
mathematician into a pastor takes only God. In my work with God, I’ve
learned that he has a sense of humour,” he stated.
The pastor, who has led the RCCG for
three decades, arrived for a meeting at the Dan Jerusalem Hotel,
surrounded by an entourage of eight loyal aides, who treated him with
the awe normally reserved for heads of state, the paper said.
Speaking on the growing global influence
of African preachers, he said the seeds sowed by missionaries who
brought Christianity to Africa were producing fruit.
“When you reap, after a certain period
you begin to sow. Today, in many parts of the Western world, people have
gone rather cold toward the church. Fortunately, the seed sowed in
Africa has germinated and the harvest is now coming back to them. So,
they are merely reaping what they sowed.

ReplyDeleteThis Annonimous above. It is you that need repentance. Be careful of blasphemy. Sins against the Holy Spirit has no forgiveness. The man of God said he is careful of making mistaking speeches in public. Can you compare him with your own leaders in the North, who have turned Nigeria to a battle-field and ungovernable? pls try and use you cerebra and medular before making comments.
