The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, says some women consider it a privilege to have illicit affairs with bishops and pastors.

Adeboye, who called for prayers for the pastors, said MANY women engaged in the immoral act when they know it is a sin.

The revered cleric said this in a sermon, ‘Open Heaven’, on Sunday.

Quoting 2 Samuel 11:3-4, the octogenarian said: “When David sent for Bathsheba to have an illicit affair with her, she consented because he was the king. There was a huge gap between the king and her husband who was an ordinary soldier.

“It may surprise you to know that there are some women who consider it a privilege to have illicit affairs with Bishops, General Overseers, Apostles, Senior Pastors, and so on.

“Yes, it is a sin, but the devil has blinded their hearts so much that they now don’t see it as sin. That is why you need to pray for them. Don’t assume that they don’t need your prayers. In fact, the more their influence, the more prayers they need.”

According to ChurchTimes, Adeboye stressed that pastors considered popular are usually the target of the devil.

“He knows that if he can get them to fall and even spoil their reputation, their sheep would scatter and he can begin to feast on them. This is why, instead of joining people to criticise popular Pastors, you should be praying for them.

“If you don’t support what they are doing and you do not have direct access to them, talk to their employer (God) about it, rather than joining the devil to pull them down,” the cleric added.
