During the Ministers and Workers Conference of RCCG Americas 1, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), shared how he manages to avoid sexual temptations despite his anointing and age. He cautioned both men and women to be cautious of lust and to stay away from sinful situations, citing the downfall of the biblical Samson.
In his words;
“Somebody says, at your age, why are you still running? I run faster than before because the closer you get to the finishing point, the more careful you must be.
“Some of you can say, ‘Daddy, what are you saying, are you still running?’ I run fast.
“With all your anointing?’ Does anointing turn your body to stone? Samson was anointed. Single-handedly, he killed a thousand soldiers. A woman finished him. I hope the boys are listening.
“You can say, ‘Is anybody still interested in an 82-year-old man?’ She is not interested in you but interested in putting an end to all the great works God has done through you.
“You see that woman smiling at you everywhere you go, she is there smiling, and she is not your wife, run.”
