The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God has revealed a truth about himself concerning anointing and sin.
Speaking during a sermon at the just concluded Ministers & Workers Conference of RCCG America 1, with the theme: “The Glory Ahead”, he noted that with his anointing, he is still weary of sexual temptations.
According to the cleric, despite his age – 82, and his anointing, hee still ‘flees’, noting that no amount of anointing can fight such temptation.
While advising ministers and youths, Adeboye said;
“Somebody says, at your age, why are you still running? I run faster than before because the closer you get to the finishing point, the more careful you must be.
“Some of you can say, ‘Daddy, what are you saying, are you still running?’ I run fast.
‘With all your anointing?’ Does anointing turn your body to stone? Samson was anointed. Single-handedly, he killed a thousand soldiers. A woman finished him. I hope the boys are listening.

You can say, ‘Is anybody still interested in an 82-year-old man?’ She is not interested in you but interested in putting an end to all the great works God has done through you.
“You see that woman smiling at you everywhere you go, she is there smiling, and she is not your wife, run.”
“And you girls, when you see a boy smiling at you saying, ‘Where have you been all my life? It looks as if the sun has just come out.’
“He is calling you sunshine. By the time he finishes with you, you won’t even know the difference between sunshine and sunset. You may laugh but mark my words.
“I do warn my children, particularly the boys. I said if the devil comes against you, tell the devil to get lost, but when you see a girl smiling at you in a funny way, run because you can’t win the battle.”
He added
“The Bible says, flee youthful lust. It did not ask you to say grace would be sufficient. There is no grace for what God says you should”
