The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has revealed that God specifically told him not to leave the denomination or risk losing his first son to death the day he tries it.
During the June edition of the Holy Ghost Service, on Saturday , the pastor disclosed this.
The service themed “Destined for Greatness (Part 2),” was held at the Redemption City of God, Ogun State.
The pastor, while he emphasized the need for one to discover where God wants them to be and remain there, stated that God said he brought him to RCCG and would want him to remain there or lose his first son.
He further warned christians, especially youths, against moving from one denomination to the other. He hinted the act of youths changing denominations to identify as first timers.
Adeboye narrated his journey in ministry, recounting he started from nothing with small-building headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos. He noted that his ministry was able to thrive despite the presence of many other prominent Churches at the time, and now.
According to him, the urge to join some of these other denomination was there, but before he could think about defecting, God warned him to remain in RCCG.
He said; “When I got born again, there were three major ministries that were making waves, and they were very good. There were different temptations to go from one to another.
“But God said to me, ‘Son, I brought you here. This is where you will stay. The day you leave this denomination, your firstborn will die.”
Adeboye further narrated how he was just a university lecturer under the mentorship of a man whom he said never attended a secondary nor primary school (his father in the lord).
“But God said this is where you will stay,” he said.
While he clarified that his statement was not in anyway to declare RCCG’s superiority over other denominations, stating that “I’m not saying we are better than other churches”, he encouraged all, especially the youths to discover where God wants them to stay and remain there.
