The senior preacher at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Adeboye, has taken down a post in which he delivered a prayer deemed inappropriate.
The RCCG, through their X page, shared a video of Pastor Adeboye offering a special prayer, presumably during the night of the 2023 crossover to congregants.
In the video, Pastor Adeboye prayed for the upliftment of his members at the expense of the prosperity of their colleagues, sparking outrage among social media users.
“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 was removed within an hour of posting due to the backlash from internet users condemning the prayer.
