Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has called on Christians to cease praying against their enemies.

During the church’s monthly Thanksgiving Service, Pastor Adeboye emphasised that only those with great destinies are envied. He stated, “It does not make sense praying against one’s enemy. If you pray against your enemy, who will be around to celebrate you? The Bible says He will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemy.”

Pastor Adeboye advised that instead of praying against their enemies, Christians should pray for their repentance. He added, “When people are envious of you and speak evil against you, don’t be bothered. You have to be great to be envied. If you pray for your enemy’s death, who will be around to celebrate you?” This counsel encourages Christians to focus on positive prayers and forgiveness.

“I went to an African country for a crusade and wanted to see the president of the country. I was told I could not see him. But when the president knew I was around he offered to see me. I was with him and we kept talking. When it was two hours of meeting, I told him people were already waiting at the crusade ground for me. He said let them wait. They have people they can talk with. Me I don’t have. We ended up spending five hours.”
