Pastor Adeboye on anger on Rapist

The General Overseer, The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG),Pastor Enoch Adeboye, says he and his prayer warriors will not rest in prayers until the perpetrators of rape are accorded stiffer penalty.

Pastor Adeboye said during a live programme on DOVE TV, that the issue of rape had become rampant in the society.

He portrayed rape as terrible and unbiblical and included that it could leave a scar on the victim for the rest of her life.

According to him, there is no pain that can be in excess compared to the ones on the parents whose daughter had been rape.

 

Pastor Adeboye said, “My prayer warriors and I will not rest in prayers until the perpetrators of this evil are brought to justice, not only in Nigeria but all over the world.”

“Each and every individual who has ever committed rape, Especially in Nigeria, and the world, the all Powerful God will angle them out”

“As much as I hate death sentence, I think every form of punishment that will be given to a rapist cannot be considered too severe.”

 

He, be that as it may be, Pastor Adeboye advised Nigerians against subjecting themselves to what he described as mental lockdown.

He said the impact of such mental lockdown could be more serious than the physical lockdown being encountered in the world over the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pastor Adeboye, said, “The journey up begins from your knees,” stated that physical, mental and spiritual lockdown were the worst experiences a man could face in life.

“I trust some of you are now assembling in certain piece of the world and we believe that you will now begin to enjoy the power of corporate prayers once again. As you gather together in all those places where you are free to gather, please, remember those of us who cannot gather with you yet.”

 “People like me, my wife, grandchildren cannot gather with you in Lagos because we are over 65 years of age and my grandchildren are under 15years of age. Remember us in prayer so that we can join you soon”

 

Reading from Acts 3 verse 1-8, he speaks of the story of a lame man who at the entrance of the Beautiful Gate beg for alms and the day he met Peter and John, he begged for alms but got a miracle of healing instead.

Pastor Adeboye said, “Very soon, you will move from lockdown to leaping up. Man is born free but is everywhere in chains was what one great philosopher said. The hunger for freedom is so intense in man that any opportunity they have to be free, they would grab it.”
