The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, says he is still wary of sexual immorality despite his ‘anointing’ and years in the ministry.
Adeboye said despite his age, he runs faster than before to avoid any form of sexual temptation, noting that no amount of anointing can fight it.
The cleric also warned ministers of the gospel to be wary of sexual immorality and the erroneous belief that their ‘anointing’ could help them withstand any temptation.
He stated these during a sermon at the just concluded Ministers & Workers Conference of RCCG Americas 1, which consists of North, Central & Caribbean with the theme: “The Glory Ahead”.
