As many Nigerians including celebrities continues to partake in the Silhouette Challenge the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christians Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has reacted to the trend.
The clergy via his Twitter page admonished Christians participating in the game and those encouraging others to watch the videos.
According to Adeboye the Silhouette Challenge is wrong and against the word of God.
He said: “You are quenching the spirit of God in you…”.
“My beloved, I am appealing to you from my heart today, walk in the Spirit every day and you will attain God’s plan for your life. What are those things you do that quench the Spirit of God in you? List them and cut yourself off from them today”.
“I stay far away from sin because I know that God is the only One who can help me to fulfil my destiny and He hates sin. If I offend him and He turns His back on me, I am finished! Joseph knew this, so he did not indulge his flesh at all and he fulfilled God’s plan for his life”.
“What are the things that the flesh usually tells you to do? They are listed in Galatians 5:19-21 as you must have earlier read in today’s Bible text. YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN VIEW A FEW PICTURES OR VIDEOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHERE SOMEONE IS ALMOST NUDE AND IT IS OKAY.”
