Avoid Evil Deeds, Adeboye Urges Christians
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged Christians to stay off evil deeds. He said perpetrating evil can destroy one’s destiny.
Pastor Adeboye spoke yesterday on the third day of this year’s Holy Ghost Congress.
The topic for the day was “Total Freedom”. He said Christians should not allow evil to destroy their destiny.
“The devil’s ultimate goal is to kill and destroy man’s destiny. Therefore there is need for total separation from anything that Satan can use to destroy ones’ destiny.”
Pastor Adeboye said Christians’ lazy attitude to prayer is a means the devil uses to trick them, urging that they should their old garments of sin and be ready for the peace of the Lord who gives total freedom.
Pastor John Hagin, one of the visiting overseas pastors, spoke on the topic The Lord of Hosts. He explained that Christians should not expect peace in a troubled world. He further explained that the peace of God is something that passes human understanding, challenges or crisis that confronts man.
He added that it is during the second coming of Christ that peace can reign in the world.
“When there is strife, it means there is no peace; but those who trust God will be happy in the midst of turbulence because God is with them.”
The cleric also noted that that victory is only sure when Jesus Christ; the Prince of Peace is in one.
“You can be happy in the midst of strife, war, and crisis because God is with you. There is peace of the Lord in the wind; He alone has the power to calm the troubled sea.”
Hagin also advised the congregation to worship only the true God as it is not possible for one to serve God and serve the world.
The church prayed for the nation’s education sector, the singles, widows and the apparent barren.
