The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor Enoch Adeboye had caused stir after his video praying for members that their colleagues would beg them for food this year went viral.
In a short clip where the cleric was preaching and praying for members, Adeboye prayed that members of the congregation would emerge the only source of financial strength and support for their members of extended families.
To Adeboye’s prayers, the congregants had chorussed “Ameeeeennnnn.” “This year, your colleagues will be coming to you for food,” Adeboye prayed.
He went further, “They will be coming to you for refreshment. You know, in every family, there is somebody they call the go-to person. Somebody you go to when you have a problem. Somebody you go to when you have a need.
“I decree that in your family, you will be the go-to person.”
