Why I avoid making public comments – Pastor Adeboye

Pastor Adeboye RCCG

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Church of God, Pastor E.A Adeboye says he avoids making public comments so as not to make mistakes.

Adeboye said this in an interview with Haaretz newspaper during a visit to Jerusalem.

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.

  1. Pastor Adeboye avoids making publc comments because he’s afraid to make mistakes.To me that’s not acceptable cumin from someone millions of people hold in high esteem.So he’d rather sit in his posh living room,fly in his jet,wine and dine wit power brokers yet will not make a comment on d ills goin in dis country…appalling to say d least!.I hope d millions of gullible followers of dis man can clearly see dat Pastor Adeboye is just an ordinary human being like dem and stop perceiving him as d Messiah and stop worshipping him…only human beings are capable of mistakes.While millions are suffering,dying and bn denied many basic needs,Pastor Adeboye is flying everywhere in his private jet and not shying from saying he’s actually avoiding to make mistakes.I pity Nigerians.Look at sum idiots saying dey giv him respect for literally saying he’s left u all wit ur destinies.He’s using ur money to lounge people…wake up!

    1. Why call people idiots just bcos they are making their opinion known? It’s not their fault dat you do not like pastor Adeboye. You should deal with the hatred you have towards him&stop insulting people cos ur perception is different from theirs. It is a free world and Nigeria constitution support freedom of expression. So go pick up your manners where you dropped them especially when u are making comments on social media. It’s Pple like you that lead others to war cos u can’t control ur emotions.
