Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has expressed concern over the arrest of one of the church’s pastors abroad for addressing an audience as “ladies and gentlemen.”

During the church’s monthly Thanksgiving service at the RCCG Throne of Grace in Lagos on Sunday, December 1, Adeboye explained that the statement was considered discriminatory because it excluded other gender identities recognized in the country where the pastor was serving.

“The end is nearer than you think. Things are getting worse, and this is a wake-up call. One of my pastors abroad was arrested for simply addressing a gathering as ‘ladies and gentlemen,’” Adeboye said. “Some people reported him for discrimination, asking, ‘What about those who are neither ladies nor gentlemen?’”

Adeboye also shared another story that he found troubling, about a woman who referred to her dog as her husband. “I took him to the vet before coming. He doesn’t talk,” the woman reportedly said when asked about her spouse.

He warned that these incidents reflect a broader moral decline and serve as signs of the end times. “Those of you already in Christ, take this matter seriously. Do not let anyone weaken your stand. God is holy. Those still playing church—singing, clapping, and enjoying things without genuine commitment—remember, Jesus is coming back. The devil wants to harvest you, but you must not give him the opportunity. I want to see you in my Father’s house,” Adeboye urged.

Adeboye recently criticized certain fashion trends among church workers, including braided hair for men and false eyelashes and heavy makeup for women. Speaking at the RCCG’s 72nd annual convention in August, he expressed disappointment over these styles, making it clear they would no longer be allowed on RCCG altars.

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
