The general overseer of RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, is facing significant backlash after a controversial prayer where he stated that Christians from other churches would bow to his congregants.
A throwback video from the church's 2021 Annual Convention resurfaced, similar to one that garnered criticism weeks ago.
During the convention, Pastor Adeboye prayed for his congregation, stating that all Christians from other churches would bow down for RCCG members.
In his words, “I decree by the name greater than every other name, Christians from all other denominations will bow before you.”
The statement has since sparked a wave of mixed reactions from social media users who urged for the retirement of the preacher.

somoyegbolahan wrote: “When BOW is used in such context , it simply means you’ll be an envy of others as things move forward, that redeeem members and his children will see upward lifting that would make others come serve their God. Don’t misunderstand the word to mean worship . God gave his disciples power over others and commanded them to go into the world and dominate.”
