Anger as Adeboye prays other Christians will bow for RCCG members

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, has prophesied that other Christians will bow for members of his church.

 

In a viral video on X, formerly Twitter, Adeboye said: “I decree in the name that is above every other name, Christians from every other denominations will bow before you.”

 

Adeboye’s prophesy was hinged on a Bible passage, 2 Kings 2:15 which he quoted to prelude his ‘decree.’

 

The passage reads: “And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, the spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.”

 

Adeboye’s prophesy has elicited anger from netizens who wonder why the pastor has been making controversial remarks lately.

 

 

Recall that in January, Adeboye prayed that RCCG members will become the bailout for their colleagues who would be running to them for bread.

 

Hear him: “Before this time next year, your colleagues will be coming to you for food. They will be coming to you for refreshment.

 

“In every family, there is somebody they call the go-to-person. Somebody you go to when you have a problem. Somebody you go to when you have a need. I decree that in your family, you will be the go-to-person.”

 

Here are some reactions from netizens.

 

@Izunna1Izunna said: “I don’t really understand. Is it not why the Christian faith is divided?”

 

@unonuegbu said: If Christians bow to redeemed church members, then redeemed members will bow to Muslims or who?”

 

@Demi_alade said: “Christ prayed earnestly in John chapter 17 that His church will be ONE BODY. It was His utmost cry and request to His father before His crucifixion. Redeemed is not superior to any other denomination because it is one body. Lord, please raise men that will speak for THE CHURCH.”

 

@EzebuiroMicheal said: “Evidence that they worship the God of Mammon, is obvious now than ever.”

 

@SundayC52062152 said: “He really got it wrong. So, as an ANGLICAN, he prophesied or prayed or declared that I will bow before Redeem members. Not possible.”

“Christians from other churches would bow before all Redeem Churches members” – Adeboye declares during RCCG annual youth conference.
