Due to the power tussle in the circle of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, there have been several assassination attempts on the life of the General Overseer of the church, according to new revelations.
confess or remain cursed. Shortly afterwards, a prominent pastor in the Church, whose name was not given, stood up and begged for forgiveness. The pastor whose identity was not given is said to come from Oyo State, South West Nigeria.
He was formerly the provincial pastor of Lagos Province 7, many years back. It is said that many top pastors of the Church are bent on getting Pastor Adeboye, who they consider due for retirement, out of the Church’s General Overseer position. It would be recalled that at a point years back, Pastor Adeboye was advised to step down so as to pave the way for young pastors to take over the Church’s leadership.

Adeboye emerged the RCCG’s General Overseer in 1981, taking over from the Church’s original founder, Papa Akindayomi who died in 1980. For more than two years, Pastor Adeboye held the position as a part-time pastor, still lecturing at the University of Ilorin, until he finally gave up his university lecturing job to become a full-time Pastor. Adeboye, since he had taken over the Church as the General Overseer, has succeeded in planting the Redeemed Christian Church of God virtually in all neighbourhoods.
The other dimension was at the church’s 60th Annual Convention tagged “Come Up Higher”, The crowd of Yoruba-speaking worshippers of the church missed the spice of the language interpretation which was conspicuously missing each time the G. O. mounted the altar for sermons. Information gathered revealed that the absence of interpreters is not unconnected with the current retirement and succession crisis that is currently rocking the church and was the reason the revered man of God decided to cancel interpretation in the church as one of the interpreters (name withheld) was a sometimes back alleged to have been caught with substances said to be charms to harm the man of God. This incident will upteenth time in the last couple of years that attempt has been made on Pastor Adeboye using fetish substances. The first was the incident that happened some years back, when charms were discovered in his office, a situation he narrated then in a sermon, when he said he thought it is time for him to be called into heaven before he was miraculously healed by God.
The interpreter, who was formerly a pastor in Province 8, Ogun State was alleged to have been coerced into harming the G. O. by those who want the man of God out at all cost to enable them seize control of the church. The pastor who has since been sacked was caught in possession of the substances, and sources close to the man regarded as the most influential man of God in Nigeria, informed that the interpreter named some pastors of the church who coerced him into the act, but the whole process was kept from church members to avoid panic and violent reaction from the church youths towards the indicted Pastor. Even the church pastors in the Diaspora are said to have been playing an important role in the camp of those who want Pastor Adeboye out at all cost.
Meanwhile the revered man of God has said no matter the level of opposition, he would not retire from the vineyard of God. In one of the articles written by the man of God, it was discovered that he has already written about the kind of retirement he wants. In the article culled from the Open Heavens, an annual publication of Monday October 3rd, 2011, Pastor wrote about ‘The True Face of Retirement. “It is so evident that even when God has permitted him to retire; he will still be involved in the work of God, publishing revelations from God to the members of the church and other denominations. so, it should be understood that until God says come home, Pa Adeboye remains the General Overseer of one of the biggest congregation churches in the world. In Pastor Adeboyes words, God is not stingy with his anointing, when he pours his power into you, it will be beyond doubt. I have told my children and he says he is dripping with anointing because he is sweating. No, no he is dripping with sweat. Where anointing is it doesn’t make noise, he just shows himself quietly. Pastor Adeboye surely knows the type of anointing he carries, so when you dare him, you dare God”
