WORST LEADERSHIP IS FOUND IN THE CHURCH- Adeboye

The General Overseer, Worldwide of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Wednesday
declared that the worst set of leaders are in the church.
Adeboye made the declaration during the Third Annual
Birthday Public Lecture organised by the church to
commemorate his 75th birthday in Ikeja, Lagos State.
The
clergyman maintained that the problem of corruption in the
country was traceable to lack of contentment and greed.
Represented by his wife, Folu Adeboye, the clergyman
expressed sadness at the lack of true leadership in the
society.
Calling for a return to cultural values, Adeboye said,
“Leadership is at the core of our problem in this nation. Some
people sit in their room and comment on newspaper articles,
but have you removed the log in your eyes?
“If there is anywhere leadership should be recommended, it
should be from the church. But it is unfortunate that the
worst leadership is from the church.
“We
should
go and
check
ourselves. Are we in true leadership or we are in falsehood?
Because this has been the groaning of my heart for many
years and I pray about it fervently.
“I challenge the leaders in this church that what the Bible
says about elders, I have not seen it. But things are changing
and I want us to be part of that change.
“The problem of corruption which we have in this nation would
not have been there if everybody is contented with what he or
she has. But people love to do more than they have.
“They want to show off to their children, and the children
also when they get to school or are with their colleagues, are
not satisfied because they were not brought up to be
satisfied.”
This is
coming
at a
time
when
Adeboye was forced to retired as the Nigerian General
Overseer of RCCG due to the enforcement of the Corporate
Governance Code by the Federal Government.
Upon his recent retirement as national Overseer in Nigeria,
Adeboye immediately named Joseph Osuolale Obayemi, as his
successor.
