The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has revealed that men who braids their hair and women wearing heavy makeup will no longer be tolerated at the church’s altars.
He made this known while expressing his discontentment with the trend among church workers and made it clear that such styles will no longer be tolerated on RCCG altars.
He addressed this issue at the church’s annual convention, where he showed his disbelief at the rising trend of braids by men and heavy makeup among women who are church members.
He said, “In Yorubaland, the only men who braid hair are the priests of Sango, the god of thunder. They say this is a new age and that we must be adaptable to what is going on. To continue as Sango priests? Not in this mission. Even after I am gone, it will still not happen.
“Take this word from me. When we find anybody among pastors; particularly female pastors, made up to look like a representative of Nollywood; we will walk her off the altar.”
“You may not like it. If you are my children, you can’t kill me. Do you know why men don’t makeup? I mean, real men. It’s because we have what is called a superiority complex. We stand before the Lord and say, ‘God, You did a good job creating us. You made no mistake.’”
“When you begin to fix false nails, I wonder what you want to achieve If God wanted to make you a bird, He would have given you a false nail and false eyelashes,” he added.
“You can quote me: Tell anybody who questioned why you are doing this drastic change, tell him or her, “Daddy GO said so,” he asserted.
Adeboye wondered why a woman would expose her breasts.
“She wants to divert attention from her face. She believes she is ugly, so the man will be lured. All my daughters listen to me: You are fearfully and wonderfully made. If anybody does not like you the way you are, it’s that person’s loss,” he added
He pleaded with workers in the church to stop messing up what God had done.
“He did a good job. When He created you, you were original. You remain an original.”
