Don’t be distracted, Adeboye tasks Christians

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has lamented that Christians are distracted from being committed to God, urging them to renew their faith to Him.

He stated this in Minna, Niger State, at the weekend, while celebrating with the Founder of Faith Foundation Church, Pastor Yarima El-Samaila on his 70th birthday.

The General Overseer, who arrived on board a private aircraft, N730 EA at 11.50am, told families, friends and well-wishers of the celebrant at the Idris Legbo Kutigi International Conference Centre in Minna that the reason Christians are on this earth is to show forth the glory of God.

“I want to appeal to you to be committed to God more than anything else. Many of you are becoming distracted; don’t forget the most important reason you are here. It is to show forth God’s glory. Stop playing church, become committed, do your utmost best so that by the time you are leaving, you can look back and say ‘glory be to God, I have fulfilled my purpose on earth.”

The General Overseer insisted that the primary focus and goal of any Christian should be on finishing his purpose and assignment well, noting, “There is no much time left before the coming of Jesus.”

He then congratulated Pastor Yarima El-Samaila for his new year, while urging him to remain steadfast in his walk with God.

Earlier, Pastor El-Samaila had thanked God for granting him life to celebrate his 70th birthday.

“I am full of gratitude to God that I can see this day. At 70, I have seen a bit of life. I have seen lots of my friends and family members pass on. That I am alive and well, I thank God.”

Soon after the celebration, Pastor Adeboye and his wife proceeded to the Niger State Province of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to meet with members, where he delivered a sermon to them before leaving Minna.
