Nowhere In The Bible Says A Christian Can't Defend Himself - Pastor Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has spoken against the high rate of insecurity in the country, saying henceforth, “it’s fire for fire”.

Nigeria is currently going through one of its worst form of insecurity in history. From banditry to kidnapping and insurgency, attacks are being recorded in virtually all the regions of the country on a frequent basis.

Speaking during the church’s July 2022 Holy Ghost Service, Adeboye said enough is enough.

In his sermon, the preacher said the church would hold its 2022 convention in the second week of August.

He said that would be the 40th at the Redemption Camp on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Adeboye said people all over the world would attend the event and encouraged “lazy members” to be part of it, urging them not to sit back to watch from the comfort of their homes.

“This programme is going to be different from the one you have known. Some people out of laziness have decided ‘Oh! I can watch everything on television.’ It’s good to watch on television; the programme will be televised throughout the world. But, like I told you, if you are watching television and fire is burning, do you feel the heat. If you are watching television and rain is falling, does your dress get wet?

“There are certain things television cannot transmit. Not at all. Glory be to God for television that can transmit across the world. Glory be to God. But when the Almighty God knows that it is out of laziness that u sat back at home, you will be hearing the testimonies of those who were present. There’s something call corporate anointing. The Bible says fire begets fire. There are certain things you get because you are there… Oh! Some jokers said churches should not open for three months. Who is your commander? God of Boko Haram? Let the devil try any nonsense, from now on, it is going to be fire for fire!

“I understand that one funny fellow said some people were calling on Ogun because Jesus didn’t answer them. Well, for the one who said that, there’s a saying that the mouth that the snail used to blaspheme God, that mouth will kiss the ground. From now on, anybody who dares blaspheme Jesus Christ will taste the fire of the Almighty God. Every enemy of the church, as far as Jesus is a consuming fire, if they don’t repent, the fire of God will consume them.

“I don’t want to say much because I know whatever I say, some people may want to twist it. I have searched the Bible from cover to cover and there is nowhere where God said a child of God cannot defend himself. If you find the place, let me know. He said that if they slap you on the right cheek turn left, He said that one. If they now slap the left what did he say? When God is silent, do you know the meaning of that, it simply means over to you.

“I am only talking to my children. Only my children come to the Holy Ghost Service.”

In 2020, Adeboye led his church members on a protest over of insecurity and killings in Nigeria.

Adeboye, who instructed his church members all over Nigeria to observe the walk, commenced the walk from Ebute Meta to Atan Cemetery in Yaba metropolis in Lagos State.

When govt fails to secure her citizens, then the citizens would defend themselves.

I think the last time i read the bible, the messiah had eradicated eye for an eye mosaic law

He did that indeed.

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’[i]
39 But I tell you, don’t fight back against someone who wanfs to do harm to you. If they hit you on the right cheek, let them hit the other cheek too.
40 If anyone wants to sue you in court and take your shirt, let them have your coat too.
41 If a soldier forces you to walk with him one mile,[j] go with him two.
42 Give to anyone who asks you for something. Don’t refuse to give to anyone who wants to borrow from you. - Matthew 5 vs 38 - 42

I think the scripture says pay no one evil for evil but repel evil with good

Not only did Jesus Christ make it clear that it is of sin to defend yourself as His follower from an attacker ...

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’[i]
39 But I tell you, don’t fight back against someone who wanfs to do harm to you. If they hit you on the right cheek, let them hit the other cheek too.
40 If anyone wants to sue you in court and take your shirt, let them have your coat too.
41 If a soldier forces you to walk with him one mile,[j] go with him two.
42 Give to anyone who asks you for something. Don’t refuse to give to anyone who wants to borrow from you. - Matthew 5 vs 38 - 42

.... He also said it is of sin to pray against an enemy using His name.

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[k] and hate your enemy.’
44 But I tell you, love your enemies. Pray for those who treat you badly.
45 If you do this, you will be children who are truly like your Father in heaven. He lets the sun rise for all people, whether they are good or bad. He sends rain to those who do right and to those who do wrong.
46 If you love only those who love you, why should you get a reward for that? Even the tax collectors do that. 47 And if you are nice only to your friends, you are no better than anyone else. Even the people who don’t know God are nice to their friends.
48 What I am saying is that you must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. - Matthew 5 vs 43 - 48

Similar teachings are found written of in Luke 6 vs 27 - 38

Where my gun dey?

You mean every MOG teach you all to commit sin against God using God's name in the process?

Is it God you want or these men that you want instead?

The time to prove your faithfulness in Jesus is now, if you want to be on Jesus' side you must decide now.

Jesus revealed to John that during the end time all religions under Satan's control will be carried away with the wind Satan blew in the air which is wiping out humanity completely {Revelations 6:3-4} Jesus even told us that if not for the Born Again Christians no human will remain on planet earth when Satan launch the campaign globally! Matthew 24:22

We're gradually getting there when all false religious leaders will be blinded by Satan's darkness {Joel 2:31; Act 2:20} that will cover the sky spiritually and nobody will see the light except just one group: Real Born Again brothers of Christ that will be feeding Jesus' real followers globally! Matthew 24:45

So by the time Satan has finished with the master plan to carry the whole world into destruction along with him those feeding from the spiritual table of Jesus' brothers will be separated from Satan's agents! Revelations 18:4

Today all religionists in the world will be asked to pick up their weapons and fight either in support of their religion or protect themselves {Revelations 6:3-4} but Jesus' real earthly subjects will never pick up weapons for any reason whatsoever {Matthew 26:52} they will not allow Satan's wind to carry them away by surprise! John 15:14

Thanks for reminding us the words of our Master, Lord and King Christ Jesus in this time when billions claiming Christians are ignoring Christ's orders and ready to obey the teachers they chose for themselves! 2Timothy 4:3

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

This is not a good advice. First, we don't have access to the kind of weapons we need to defend ourselves. Second, if we try to get the weapons illegally, we might be arrested for being in possession of it. Third, we are not trained to fight that way. So in an attempt to defend ourselves, we might still be on the losing side.

The scripture says that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. It is spiritual.

There is something we are not doing right. Where are the angels we read of in the Bible? Are they dead? Is our God not the same God of king Jehosaphath who led a war with praise singers and the three nations that came against Judah fought and killed themselves.

What I expect Papa Adeboye to do is to give direction to the church like declaring days of fasting and prayers and praise night.

The God of the Bible is still the same God. What he did in the Bible, he can still do.

Let the leaders and worship leaders forsake their sins and cry out to God. He will scatter their plans and save us.

Last month Thanksgiving service on the first Sunday of the first month was bloody. Let's be watchful, and on the defensive on today's thanksgiving

He has been quiet all these while, he had access to AsoRock, why didn't he advise buhari and his God son osinbajo to use their offices to curb all the killings and inflation going on in this country

Hmm

The kingdom of God suffereth vawulence, and only with vawulence takes it by force!

Any Christian who wants to acquire AK 47 rifle or 6 Rounds Automatic Revolver for protection, should contact me.

Hehehe let us all be mad.

Defend Ak 47 with sticks abi?

It is a shame that the only legacy the APC govt has put in place is insecurity,death and more death to the populace. It is even more annoying that a man that calls himself the leader of the party(Ahmed Tinubu),has come out to ask sensible Nigerians to vote him in,to continue with this legacy,to him the APC has done well and deserve another eight years. This is an insult to our sensibility,this political criminals think we have selective amnesia,they think we are 'slaves that loves our chains'.
They did everything possible to impoverish the masses,so that when you throw crumbs and left over food to the masses,they will gladily dance to their tone.
They kept our university students at home for months while their kids are graduating with flying colours abroad or in private universities in Nigeria,so they can come and continue where there fathers stop.
Even with the level of religious intolerance in Nigeria,they are even contemplating a muslim muslim ticket in the worst form impunity and reckless abandon to people of other faith.
OUR MUMU DON DO
We cant wait for the elections to come,so that we can clear there doubt.
'You can fool some of the people,some of the times but not all the people all the times'.

Their god is now too weak to defend them.
