Septuagenarian General Overseer of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch
Adejare Adeboye, has declared that he can kill
anyone who tampers with his beloved wife, Pastor
(Mrs) Foluke Adeboye, for love.
Delivering his message on ‘Activating Your Destiny’
at the Throne of Grace parish and National
Headquarters of RCCG, Ebutte Meta, Lagos on
Sunday, monitored on Facebook from Warri, the
revered man of God said 50 years after his wedding,
he was still in honey moon with his heartthrob.
Explaining how he would execute the ‘killing,’ Daddy
G.O, as he’s fondly called, said he would not do it
physically, but report such fellow to his Father (God)
and the person would pass on in his or her sleep.
His words: “Be ready to lay down your life for your
partner if you’re truly in love. My wife doesn’t like
me saying this:
“You can slap me; you can lie against me, you can
criticise me, it doesn’t bother me, but touch my wife,
I’ll kill you!
“I want the world to hear. They’ll say if I killed they’ll
arrest me, jail me, that is if I killed with cutlass or
gun.
If you tamper with my wife, I will talk to my Daddy
and you’ll sleep and will not wake.”
The declaration was greeted with thunderous cheers
from the worshippers who were there in their
thousands to worship and celebrate with the couple.
Adeboye was in golden colour suit while his wife was
also clad in a golden colour attire to mark the golden
jubilee of their marriage at the RCCG headquarters
on Sunday.
He enjoined youths, who are ripe for marriage, not
no marry for money, beauty and influence, which, he
said, were ephemeral, but for love, which he said,
was God and eternal.
He, however, perhaps jocularly added that if they
wanted to marry for influence, they should opt for
pastors whose influence, he claimed, endures if they
remained in Christ Jesus.
“If you want to marry a person who’s influential,
marry a pastor. If he does not fall into sin, he’ll
remain a pastor forever,” he noted.
Pastor Adeboye, whose marriage clocks 50 on
September 8, 2017, reiterated the need for youths to
marry for love as he did.
Giving reminiscences on his early days in marriage,
he said: “Marry for love. It’ll endure. I’ve been
married for 50 years and still on honey moon. I was
the poorest among those lurking around the girl I
married.
“One was a lawyer who had a car; I had nothing. But
I told the girl that of you marry me, whatever I am,
wherever I ever become will be yours.”
He said his wife cherished his 100 per cent honesty
and opted for him in marriage, adding that although
things were initially hard, because they were in love,
they pulled through.
Adeboye also informed the gathering that he
graduated from the university in June and got
married in September of 1967 after he had barely
collected two months salary from the teaching job
he got.
According to him, after their wedding that was
conducted without a cake which they could not
afford, they immediately resumed work the following
working day where they were teaching without going
for honey moon.
“I was not a Christian, but i was an incurable
optimist. We struggled over ‘pomo’ as I usually hear
me say, but today if we want to eat a cow now, God
will provide.
“After our wedding in September 8,1967, we faced
challenges. The baby came 1968. It was tough. We
were happy because we were in love.
I had no car, no house, a married into a rented room
and a parlour. We have stories to tell. If you marry
for love, the reason it will last is because God is love,
” he enthused.
Adeboye went to substantiate why love matters
above other considerations. He described love as fire
as contained in Hebrews 12:29 and that the fire must
be tended to keep it burning.
He identified what keeps love burning between
couples as gifts, no matter how little.
“You must continue to tend the fire., meaning: no
matter how little, you must constantly give gifts to
your partner. If it’s given in love, it’ll be appreciated.
“When two people are in love, they exchange gifts.
Always open your mouth to say to your partner “I
love you, ” the holiness preacher urged couples.
He added that his love for his wife is so intense that
each time he travelled abroad or anywhere for
assignments, he would never do without putting a
call across to his wife at least once in a day, just as
he’s always eager to return to the waiting arms if his
wife and home.
The couple, after the message, were led to cut their
50th wedding anniversary cake and a Thanksgiving
followed as they danced with their children and
grandchildren before the altar where they were
prayed for.
The man of God prayed for the healing of marriages
on trials, youths who are about making choices and
every other attendee at the service.
