Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), is facing criticism over his birthday message to his wife, Foluke Adeboye. In an Instagram post celebrating Foluke’s 75th birthday, Adeboye shared his “fervent prayer” that both of them be taken home together when the time comes.
The cleric described his wife as one of the greatest gifts bestowed upon him by God and warned that anyone who dares to harm Foluke will face divine retribution. He also expressed his love and admiration for her, stating that they have special endearing names for each other.
However, the statement about divine retribution and the prayer for them to be taken home together has sparked controversy on social media. Some users have criticized Adeboye’s strong language and the notion of divine retribution, while others have expressed concern about the implications of his prayer.
Adeboye has been known for his unwavering love and protection for his wife. In the past, he made headlines for vowing to “kill anyone who messes with his wife,” stating that he would take extreme measures to defend her.
While some members of his congregation and followers see this as a sign of strong love and devotion, others find the language and sentiment extreme and concerning.
As the general overseer of RCCG, Adeboye’s statements and actions often come under scrutiny and can evoke strong reactions from both his supporters and critics. This recent birthday message is no exception, as it has ignited a debate on social media about the appropriate expression of love and protection in relationships and religious contexts.
