The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has drawn a firm line regarding his ministerial approach, declaring himself a champion of holiness rather than material prosperity. During a recent sermon, the veteran clergyman made his position unmistakably clear: his primary focus lies in guiding congregants toward spiritual sanctification and righteous living, not in promoting wealth accumulation.
Adeboye cautioned believers about the pitfalls of placing material gain above spiritual development. He described the combination of wealth without holiness as “a dangerous trap,” encouraging his audience to pursue spiritual maturity as their foremost priority.
The statement carries particular significance given the current religious landscape, where prosperity-centered teachings have gained considerable traction across various denominations. Adeboye’s emphasis on holiness represents a deliberate departure from this trend.
Since assuming leadership of RCCG in 1981, Pastor Adeboye has consistently built his reputation on messages that emphasize salvation, spiritual transformation, and adherence to biblical principles. His latest declaration reinforces this theological foundation that has defined his ministry for over four decades.
While acknowledging that divine blessings do manifest in believers’ lives, Adeboye maintained that these should never overshadow the fundamental Christian calling of pursuing holiness and maintaining an authentic relationship with God.
