The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has warned ministers of the gospel to be wary of sexual immorality in the erroneous belief that their ‘anointing’ could help them withstand any temptation.
He said despite his age, he runs faster than before to avoid ant form of sexual temptation, noting that no amount of anointing can fight sexual temptation.
Adeboye said this in one of his sermons at the just concluded Ministers & Workers Conference of RCCG Americas 1 which consists of North, Central & Caribbean with the theme: “The Glory Ahead”.
Adeboye, who has been a preacher for over 45 years, in the course of the sermon shared on his YouTube page noted that Samson, who was a judge in Israel, fell into sexual immorality despite the anointing over him.
