Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has warned Christians against chasing material wealth at the expense of their spiritual wellbeing.
The clergyman while speaking at the church’s ongoing 73rd annual convention held at the Redemption City, Km 46 Lagos Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State, with the theme, “The Overcomers,” described such pursuits as “an act of stupidity.”
According to the clergyman, believers must maintain spiritual discipline and resist worldly temptations if they are to live victoriously in Christ.
He added that God does not hate enjoyment but noted that the body people pamper will perish one day.
He further advised Christians to take care of the spirit which will go to heaven, adding that the body does not want believers to be overcomers.
The RCCG General Overseer stressed that the life of an overcomer is one marked by discipline, sacrifice, and resistance to worldly values, adding that becoming a champion requires discipline.
According to him, remaining a champion requires more, because every challenger wants the crown of believers. He also urged Christians to steadfastly hold onto their faith and resist the works of the flesh.
