EKO HOT BLOG reports that speaking during the June edition of the RCCG Holy Ghost Service titled “Destined for Greatness (Part 2)”, held at the Redemption City in Ogun State on Friday, Pastor Adeboye addressed the importance of divine direction and spiritual consistency.
He expressed concern over the increasing trend of young Christians frequently switching churches, often introducing themselves as newcomers at every worship centre they attend.
Recounting his early journey in faith, the cleric explained that when he got born again, several thriving ministries were making waves. However, God specifically instructed him to stay in RCCG, which at the time was a relatively unknown church with its headquarters in a small building in Ebute-Metta, Lagos.
Despite his position as a university lecturer, Adeboye said God commanded him to submit to his spiritual mentor, who had no formal education. He stressed that obedience to divine instruction played a major role in his spiritual growth and destiny.
“When I got born again, there were three major ministries that were making waves and they were very good,” Adeboye said. “There were temptations to join them. But God told me, ‘Son, I brought you here. This is where you’ll stay. The day you leave this denomination, your firstborn will die.’”
He emphasized the need for young believers to seek God’s direction rather than moving from one church to another based on personal preferences or trends.
Adeboye clarified that his message was not a claim of superiority over other denominations, but a call to spiritual commitment and obedience. “I am not saying we are better than any other denomination,” he stated. “Discover where God wants you to be—and stay there.”
