After years in the ministry and his ‘anointing,’ Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), says he is still cautious of sexual immorality.
Noting that no amount of anointing can thwart sexual temptation, Adeboye claimed that despite his advanced age, he runs faster than ever before.
Additionally, the clergyman cautioned gospel preachers against engaging in illicit sexual behavior and the false notion that their ‘anointing’ would enable them to resist temptation.

‘The Glory Ahead’ was the theme of the sermon he delivered at the recently finished Ministers & Workers Conference of RCCG Americas 1, which encompasses the North, Central, and Caribbean regions.
Adeboye stated that Samson, in the sermon posted on his YouTube page on Friday, who, although anointed above him, became an immoral sexual person and became an Israeli judge,
‘Someone asks me, why are you still running at your age?’ he remarked. I run quicker than I used to because you have to be more cautious the closer you go to the finish line.
‘Some of you might ask, ‘Daddy, are you still running? What are you saying?’ I move quickly.’With all of your blessings?’
Does being anointed make you turn stone? Anointed was Samson. He slaughtered a thousand soldiers by himself. He was finished by a woman. I’m hoping the boys are taking note.
One may inquire, ‘Is there anyone who would be interested in an 82-year-old man? Instead of being interested in you, she wants to stop God from doing all of his wonderful things via you.
‘Go, because that woman you see smiling at you everywhere you go is not your wife. Run.’
Adeboye also advised young people to avoid lust by telling them to flee from everything that appeared sinful.
And when you see a male grinning at you and asks, ‘Where have you been all my life,’ he said, ‘you girls should take note.’ The appearance is that the sun has just popped out.
He’s referring to you as Sunshine. You won’t even be able to distinguish between sunrise and sunset by the time he’s done with you. Though I warn you, you might laugh.
‘Yes, I do caution my kids, especially the lads. I told the demon to go away if he approached you. However, you must flee if you see a girl giving you a strange smile, since you cannot prevail in this conflict.
