RCCG altar not for male pastors with braids, women with heavy makeup - Adeboye
The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has faulted clergymen who rock braided hair and clergywomen sporting false eyelashes and heavy makeup.
While speaking at his church's annual convention recently, Adeboye said such trends among workers of the church will henceforth not be tolerated.
“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’m 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.'”
Speaking further, the 82-year-old cleric said;
“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 urged those who take pleasure in appearing weird to repent and be modest.
“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.
The cleric added that any woman who exposes her boobs believes that she is ugly and needs to divert the attention from her face.
“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 said
Great Daddy, you are right
