“Some people have been impersonating me on Facebook and other social
media asking people to donate monies for unidentified orphanages or some
sick persons who require urgent medical treatment abroad. Please do not
believe them and do not give them money. Somebody even went to the
ridiculous extent of saying that I needed money to go to India for the
treatment of an undisclosed ailment. Please do not answer them. As you
can see I am not sick. I am hail and hearty. They are liars,” RCCG’s General Overseer, Pastor EA Adeboye says.Continuing, he said some others are equally impersonating
his wife, pointing out that such persons are not representing him or
his wife. According to him, some other fellows are busy sending e-mails
to people inviting them to fake programmes purportedly organised by the
General Overseer.
“If anybody invites you to any programme anywhere in my name, please
confirm from me. There is also one that said I had a dream where I saw
many of my people weeping because they could not make it to heaven. It
is all lie! I did not have any dream and I know that you will all make
it to heaven in Jesus name,” he stated.
On recent stories by some
persons who claimed they died and got to heaven but were sent back to
warn brethren who are perceived to be wallowing in sin, Adeboye said
such people should be ignored because God does not operate the way they
are portraying Him.
“There is woman (A certain Sis Linda) who said she died and went to heaven
where Jesus sent her back to warn people of the world against sin. If
you do not know already, when the rich man died and saw Lazarus in the
bosom of Abraham, he requested that Father Abraham should send an angel
to his relations on earth to warn them to repent and escape hell. He was
told that there are enough prophets to accomplish such missions,”
Adeboye stressed.
The cleric explained that anyone who claims to have died and returned
to preach the gospel; “please do not listen to them. Put your trust in
the true Word of God. Some years ago, one man claimed to have died and
came back and he started preaching that any Christian who acquired a car
would go to hell.“This man produced a CD which he was selling to the
people and he made a lot of money from selling the cassettes and CDs.
Not long after, he bought a Land Cruiser and when people asked him why
was opting for hell, he replied that he did not buy a car. He bought a
Land Cruiser. Be careful, you shall know the truth and the truth shall
set you free,” the RCCG General Overseer said.
