-Enoch Adeboye Cautions Prioritizing Wealth Over Spiritual Health
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, made a bold statement, has he cautions Christians against prioritizing material wealth over their spiritual wellbeing.
Speaking at the church’s 73rd Annual Convention with the theme “The Overcomers,” Adeboye emphasized that true victory in Christ comes from spiritual discipline, not material riches.
“God does not hate enjoyment,” Adeboye said. “But the body you pamper, shine, and make up will perish one day.
“Take care of the spirit, for that is what will go to heaven. The body does not want you to be an overcomer.”

He encouraged believers to focus on spiritual growth and resist worldly temptations, likening the spiritual journey to a battle where Christians are not alone, but have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them.
Addressing the dual nature of humanity, Adeboye said, “You are a dangerous composition — both earth and Spirit. The dust pulls us down, while the Spirit of God lifts us up. The overcomer’s life lies in choosing the Spirit.”
Adeboye’s sermon sparked reactions on social media, with some critics questioning the pastor’s own lavish lifestyle.
