Pastor Adeboye, the senior preacher at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, recently took down a post where he made a prayer that was considered inappropriate.
The RCCG had shared a video on their X page, showcasing the man of God giving a special prayer, presumably on the night of the 2023 crossover, for his congregants.
In the video, Pastor Adeboye prayed for the upliftment of his members, but the prayer was perceived as being at the detriment of the prosperity of their colleagues. This stirred outrage among social media users. Subsequently, the post was removed, reflecting a responsive approach to public sentiment and concerns.
“This time next year, your colleagues will be coming to you for food and refreshment. In every family, there’s someone they call a go-to person; I decree in your family, you’ll be the go-to person,” he stated partly.
The video has since been taken down barely an hour after posting due to the backlash from internet users who condemned the prayer.
