Following the backlash that greeted the birthday message of Pastor Enoch Adeboye to his wife Foluke, the man of God has now returned to clear the air.
Recall that the wife of the founder of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), had celebrated her birthday on Monday, July 13, and Pastor Adeboye had sent a message stating that despite her age, she still cooks and serves his food.
Reacting to the criticism by those who felt that he had turned his wife’s special day to his own, Pastor Adebye urged youths who felt insulted by the message to disregard it, adding that it was meant for his children and not for them.
Pastor Adeboye who reacted to the criticisms while delivering his sermon titled “From lockdown to lifting up” on Sunday, July 19, said only his ”children” would understand his comment.
“As a matter of fact, if there is a way of preaching this sermon just to my own children alone, that is what I would have done.
“Not because I’m selfish but occasionally there are things you say to your children that would annoy outsiders. And you keep on saying, but I am not talking to you, I am talking to my children. But now, the lockdown has made the door open to everybody.
“Some people see the glory but don’t know the story. Some people see me and say all kinds of things. It’s none of my business.
“I don’t need to answer you. I just need to keep on riding high with my king. I’m talking to my children, so others should not be angry with me. Before you take off, consider your landing,” he said.
