The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has disclosed the reasons he refused to stop those who pray in the name of the ‘God of Adeboye’ from doing so.

The issue of praying in the name of the God of a pastor has been a source of theological debate for many years. Some theologians believe it is a form of subtle idolatry, while some believe it is calling undue attention to the cleric

Adeboye, while speaking at the special programme of the RCCG at the Redemption Camp along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, said that it would be wrong to stop those people praying in the name of the God he serves.

He said: “Some people are saying I should stop those praying in the name of the God of Adeboye. I don’t know why they are angry that they are praying in the name of my God. They are not praying in my name. It is the name of my God. Why should I stop them?

“My God is the El-Shaddai, he is the king of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. He is the creator of the whole universe.”

The revered cleric further told the congregation that God would bring them to a place of influence in no time.

Adeboye prayed that before they leave the world, their names would be mentioned in strategic places while also urging them to make decrees about their future.

He recalled the instance of a woman who went to join Fela Shrine many years ago.

“The mother of the woman came to camp and we prayed concerning the situation. Suddenly people began to fight the daughter of the woman in the Fela Shrine and because of that she returned home,” Church Times quoted the RCCG Overseer as saying.

Adeboye, therefore, urged the congregation to pray fervently that none of their relatives would go to hell.
