An RCCG pastor was arrested abroad for addressing a gathering as ‘ladies and gentlemen’ — Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has expressed concern over the arrest of one of the churchs pastors abroad for addressing an audience as “ladies and gentlemen.” During the churchs monthly Thanksgiving service at the RCCG Throne of Grace in Lagos on Sunday, December 1, Adeboye explained that the statement was considered discriminatory because it excluded other gender identities recognized in the country where the pastor was serving. The end is nearer than you think. Things are getting worse, and this is a wake-up call. One of my pastors abroad was arrested for simply addressing a gathering as ladies and gentlemen, Adeboye said. Some people reported him for discrimination, asking, What about those who are neither ladies nor gentlemen? Adeboye also shared another story that he found troubling, about a woman who referred to her dog as her husband. I took him to the vet before coming. He doesnt talk, the woman reportedly said when asked about her spouse. He warned that these incidents reflect a broader moral decline and serve as signs of the end times. Those of you already in Christ, take this matter seriously. Do not let anyone weaken your stand. God is holy. Those still playing churchsinging, clapping, and enjoying things without genuine commitmentremember, Jesus is coming back. The devil wants to harvest you, but you must not give him the opportunity. I want to see you in my Fathers house, Adeboye urged. Adeboye recently criticized certain fashion trends among church workers, including braided hair for men and false eyelashes and heavy makeup for women. Speaking at the RCCGs 72nd annual convention in August, he expressed disappointment over these styles, making it clear they would no longer be allowed on RCCG altars. The post An RCCG pastor was arrested abroad for addressing a gathering as ladies and gentlemen’ Adeboye appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
