E.A. Adeboye
Enoch Adejare Adeboye (March 2, 1942 – N/A) is a Nigerian Christian preacher, mathematician, and influential leader widely recognized as the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), one of Africa’s largest Pentecostal denominations. Born in Ifewara, Osun State, Nigeria, to a modest family—his father a farmer and his mother a trader—he grew up in poverty but excelled academically despite early hardships, including lacking shoes until age 18. He earned a B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 1967, an M.Sc. in Hydrodynamics from the University of Lagos in 1969, and a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics in 1975, later lecturing at the Universities of Lagos and Ilorin. Adeboye’s preaching career began after joining RCCG in 1973, seeking spiritual healing for his child, and accepting Christ in 1975. Ordained a pastor in 1977, he became General Overseer in 1981 following the death of RCCG founder Josiah Akindayode, transforming the church from a small Lagos-based group into a global movement with millions of members across over 190 countries. Known as “Daddy G.O.,” his sermons emphasize holiness, prayer, and prosperity, delivered at events like the monthly Holy Ghost Service and annual Holy Ghost Congress, drawing massive crowds. He authored over 60 books, including devotionals like Open Heavens, and oversaw RCCG’s expansion, including Redemption City (formerly Camp), a vast ministry hub. Married to Foluke Adenike Adeboye since 1967, with whom he has four children, Adeboye remains a towering figure in Pentecostal Christianity, blending intellectual rigor with spiritual authority.

Sermon Summary
E.A. Adeboye emphasizes the power available to believers through partaking in the flesh and blood of Jesus, highlighting how this divine empowerment gives believers superiority over all evil forces and agents of darkness. By engaging in Holy Communion, feasting on God's Word, and putting it into practice, believers can tap into God's supernatural protection and authority, causing even demonic entities to recognize the divine cover over them. Adeboye urges believers to be vigilant in their spiritual practices, emphasizing the importance of studying and memorizing God's Word to renew their strength and control in Christ.
Scriptures
Witches for Christ
MEMORISE: ‘Then Jesus said unto them, “Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.” (John 6:53) READ: Acts 19:13-17 All around us, there is so much display of power at every level. Where there is opposition, the one with the greater power conquers his opponents and takes home all the spoils. It is a winner-takes-all situation. Seeing the frailties of average human beings, and their thirst for power, satan moved in, and such a person will be miserable. However, when such person meet Jesus, there will be power to resist the temptations from satan. Ask some people why they became witches or joined particular secret societies or cults, often they will answer that it was for protection from enemies, good luck and to be in control. In their covens, they take deliberate steps to break God’s commandments. They engage in terrible immoral orgies and eat and drink human flesh and blood. In the process, they are powered by the life in the blood and begin to terrorize victims. This is why the average human being becomes their prey. God who has all power saw this and decided to empower us with his own flesh and blood. In John 6:56-57, Jesus says: ‘He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.’ Through the Holy Communion, feasting daily on God’s Word, and putting the Word into practice, we feed on God’s superior flesh and blood and therefore have superiority over all witches, occultic and diabolical agents. When such agents confront you, they will see God’s special cover over you and will brand you a witch! A brother in his twenties went to visit his cousin and spent the night in his house. Unknown to him, this cousin had some native doctors on his payroll and one of them was there that night to perform certain rituals. But on meeting the brother, sleeping and covered under God’s protection, he was incapacitated. Later on, that brother was called a witch. Yes, he is a witch for Christ! If you are on fire for Christ, you will be noted in hell. Believers must not toy with their Holy Communion with the King of kings Himself. You must see every opportunity to study and memorise God’s Word as an opportunity to renew your power to stay in control! ACTION POINT According to Isaiah 49:26, God can feed your oppressors and tormentors with their own flesh and blood. Ask him to do this.
