My ‘Daughter’ Asked To Inflate N3m Contract To N33m – Adeboye

The general overseer of the Redeemed Christian church of God, RCCG Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has reiterated that corruption is at its peak because majority of Christians who are supposed to be peculiar people and make a difference have compromised.

While speaking on the high rate of corruption in the country, Adeboye Called on Christians to shun a lifestyle of double standards, at the day six of the church annual convention with the focus on: ‘Heaven’, Adeboye also recalled how one of his spiritual daughters was asked to inflate a N3m contract to N33m

…..According to him; “We talk about corruption in Nigeria. Why do you think corruption has become so deep? it is because we Christians, who are supposed to be peculiar people, are not making any difference. It’s so difficult to even know who is who.

_____“You must be as pure as light, people must be able to see you at a distance and know that this is a candidate for heaven. In your behaviour, character, you must be different. If you want to compromise because of promotion, let them take their promotion because you are a peculiar people.

“The world will hate you because of your standard, because your standard is that of God.”

Narrating how one of his daughters in faith was asked to inflate a N3m contract to N33m, the revered cleric at….the Holy Communion service said the lady was given a road contract in a particular state in Nigeria. He said the lady was asked to increase the cost of the project from N3 million which she wrote in her proposal to N33 million.

He said: “One of my daughters got a contract to tar a road in one of the states in Nigeria. She gave a proposal of N3 million, but they asked her to put N33 million. She was surprised, turned down___the offer and said I am a child of God, how will I spend the money? They looked at her as if she was somebody who dropped from the sky.”

In another instance: “Another child of mine told another story. She applied for a contract. They gave her to go and tar a road. She got to the road and found that the road was already tarred. She came back….and told them there must have been a mistake. They said,” What is your problem, collect your money and give us our own.”

He, however, stated that corruption would have been a thing of the past in the country if Christians decided not to compromise even in the face of adversity.

Continuing in his sermon, Adeboye revealed that he has been sober lately, as he almost ran out of God’s favour at the Friday Holy Ghost Service: “Holiness means total obedience to God. I have been sober since yesterday. It took special love that God did not knock me on……the head. God wanted to talk, but I wanted to preach a sermon that I had prepared. He told me,” You have done fine enough. He wanted me to get out of the way. As he was talking, I was interrupting.”

,,,,Daddy G.O then warned against doing things contrary to God’s will, stating, no one can love the church more than the owner of the church “You are dealing with God almighty. You can’t love the church more than the owner of the church. When he says this is how I want to go and you try to do it your way, you are on your own.”(Vanguard)
