Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has revealed that he continues to avoid sexual temptations despite his spiritual anointing.
Drawing attention to the downfall of the biblical figure Samson, Adeboye advised both men and women to be wary of lust and to steer clear of any appearance of sin.
He made these remarks during the Ministers and Workers Conference of RCCG Americas 1.
Adeboye stated, “Someone asked, at your age, why do you still run? I run even faster now because the closer you get to the finish line, the more cautious you must be.
“Some of you might wonder, ‘Daddy, are you still running?’ Yes, I run fast.
“Despite your anointing? Does anointing make your body invincible? Samson was anointed too. He single-handedly killed a thousand soldiers, but a woman brought about his downfall. I hope the young men are paying attention.
“Some might think, ‘Is anyone still interested in an 82-year-old man?’ They are not interested in you personally but in stopping the great works God has done through you.
“If you notice a woman constantly smiling at you wherever you go, and she’s not your wife, run.”
