Prominent Redeemed Church Pastor Poisons Pst. Adeboye

Pastor E.A Adeboye

A prominent pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of  God (RCCG) has attempted poisoning the Church’s General Overseer, Pastor E.A Adeboye.

The cause of his attempt The Christendom Newspaper learnt was not unconnected with the soft-spoken man of God’s promotion and continued retention of the Church’s General Overseer’s position.

It was learnt that Pst. Adeboye was poisoned by one of the members of a power bloc, who is equally a prominent pastor during one of the Church’s meetings, which was held at the Church’s Redemption Camp, located along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The poison was said to have been injected into a cup of juice the man of God was meant to take.

However, just before Pst.Adeboye attempted taking the juice, the Holy Spirit revealed to him that the juice had been poisoned.

Upon this divine revelation, Pst.Adeboye demanded that the person who was responsible for the poisoned juice either confess or remain cursed.

Shortly afterwards, a prominent pastor in the Church, whose name was not given, stood up and begged for forgiveness.

The pastor whose identity was not given is said to come from Oyo State, South West Nigeria. He was formerly the provincial pastor of Lagos Province 7, many years back.

It is said that many top pastors of the Church are bent on getting Pastor Adeboye, who they consider due for retirement, out of the Church’s General Overseer position.

It would be recalled that at a point last year, Pastor Adeboye was advised to step down so as to pave the way for young pastors to take over the Church’s leadership.

Adeboye emerged the RCCG’s General Overseer in 1981, taking over from the Church’s original founder, Papa AKindayomi who died in 1980.

For more than two years, Pastor Adeboye held the position as a part-time pastor, still lecturing at the University of Ilorin, until he finally gave up his university lecturing job to become a full-time pastor.

Adeboye, since he had taken over the Church as the General Overseer, has succeeded in planting the Redeemed Christian Church of God virtually in all neighbourhoods. The Church now has branches in over one-hundred countries of the world, with over 14,000 branches in Nigeria.
