Pastor Adeboye Bans Braids and Heavy Makeup for RCCG Clergy

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has openly criticized clergymen who wear braided hair and clergywomen who use false eyelashes and heavy makeup. During the church’s recent annual convention, he announced that these trends among church workers would no longer be accepted.

"In Yorubaland, the only men who braid their hair are Sango priests, the god of thunder," Adeboye remarked. "Some say this is a new age, and we must adapt to modern trends, but not in this mission. Even after I’m gone, this will not be allowed."

He made it clear that any pastor, particularly female pastors, who appears overly made up like a Nollywood star would be removed from the altar. "You may not like it, but if you are my children, you can’t defy me. Real men don’t wear makeup because they believe God made no mistakes in their creation."

Adeboye further questioned the use of false nails, stating, "When you begin to fix false nails, I wonder what you are trying to achieve. If God wanted to make you a bird, He would have given you false nails and eyelashes."

He urged those who take pleasure in unconventional appearances to repent and embrace modesty. "You can quote me on this: If anyone questions why you are making these changes, tell them, 'Daddy GO said so,'" he concluded.

Re: Pastor Adeboye Bans Braids And Heavy Makeup For RCCG Clergy by Righteousness2(m):
These things are all in the Bible. It is just that People Choose to Deceive themselves and still want to claim to be of Christ.

You cannot claim to be of JESUS CHRIST and look like a Prostitute. You are Deceiving yourself.
You can not claim to be a Christian ( Genuinely Born again ) and Look like a Jezebel. U are deceiving yourself.

1John 3:8-9 says
A SINNER is not a CHRISTIAN (v8)
A CHRISTIAN is not a SINNER (v9)

Jeremiah 4:30 says it is when you are SPOILT, that you go after paintings, attachments and all that.

Jeremiah 4:30
And when you are SPOILT, What will you do? Though you clothe yourself with crimson, Though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold, Though you enlarge your eyes with paint, In vain you will make yourself fair; Your lovers will despise you; They will seek your life.


Deuteronomy 22:5 says a woman putting on anything that PERTAINS to a man or vice versa is ABOMINATION.

Deuteronomy 22:5
“ The woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an ABOMINATION to the Lord your God.


The same Word of GOD says in Revelation 21:8 , that all who do ABOMINATION are Heading to Hell.

Revelation 21:8
But the Fearful, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”


These things are not mere words of your Pastor or bishop. It is in the word of GOD the Bible.
It's just humans have Found a way to Deceive themselves to feel good, thinking they are doing GOD.

Listen, GOD Will not Change HIS WORD because of a Changing Word.
Everyone of us better Seat up and Decide who you want to Follow.

We are in the Last of the Last Moments.
GOD is no Respecter of Persons.
Decide to Follow and Live for JESUS or Decide to Follow the devil.

There is no more time. Do the Needful now to avoid Stories that touch the Heart.

They say the old testament is the old covenant, and these things no longer apply under the new covenant.

Nothing to discuss.
Its Confusion and ignorance of GOD.
Why not throw away the OT if it is not useful.
Everything about the New Testament is in the old Testament. No part of GOD'S word is useless.

The OT is a continuation of the New Testament.
Whatever needed to be done away with In the Old Testament is Clearly shown in the New Testament.

The Bible is Prophecy almost all through.
Many were given in the OT and came to Pass in the NT.
Many are being fulfilled right before us
Others are lining up to be Fufilled.

The Bible says " My People are Destroyed for Lack of Knowledge ".

To walk with GOD, you need KNOWLEDGE and FAITH.

Knowledge of His Word, what it says and Faith to Believe GOD and HIS Word.

These weird cult groups parading around as churches need to be banned fron Eastern part of the country. Weirdos dressed up in sanctimonious facades should not be allowed to be setting cultural standards for us.

Brother there is always context to every conversation, I was talking about God bringing destructions like flood and other things that it is not God, showing you that the bible is not just a story, it is a progressive revelation, there was a time people were sacrificing bulls, goats ,pigeons etc but as the revelation progressed we don't do that anymore because Christ a once and for all sacrifice etc

What Daddy Adeboye said is normal to say using a cultural lens, but the issue with cultural gospels is that they are always flawed, Nigeria culture is different from German, chinese, English culture.... The suit, jeans, etc we wear is not African culture, using of phones, brushing of teeth, using of soaps is cultural even tho it serves for cleansing and more convenient but why can't we just keep ourselves the way we came out and follow African culture and chew sticks. The gospel is higher than any culture and God resides and uses you either you tie scarf or you tint your hair, you use make up or not. I understand moderation


We will know Christ ourselves

Women can be ungrateful.

God gave them good hair, they don't like it, they prefer fixing dead people's hair or attaching another woman's hair to theirs.

God gave them eyebrows, they shaved it, only to replace it with jagajaga dark markers.

God gave them breasts, it's not big enough. We need to pump it with silicone.

God gave them ass, that's a-hole, let's do BBL.

God gave them eye lashes, it's not enough protection, they need a crow's own for extra protection.

God gave them good skin to protect the body, he must have made a mistake, let's bleach it up!

God gave them sense but they prefer nonsense. Therefore, when he says

Real men don’t wear makeup because they believe God made no mistakes in their creation
I agree with him 💯

It's a man whose brain is not working well that will start to compete with women in the craze of self destruction and ingratitude to the good Lord who made them in his non-comparable intelligence. I can let women be worried about how they look because it's in their nature but a man who starts to act like a woman is insecure and should be called a woman.

Don't mind them

Yet they selectively use portions of the old testament that suit them, e.g. the one on tithes

They will paint their faces as if God made mistake arranging their faces the way they were born. Made in the image and likeness,but the same you go dey paint the image with color pencils. So will even use cement to create foundation on their faces ,then they will start building on that. After which they will now look like one masquerade from ......

His message is for clergy and not non clergy. There are many churches that believe you will never make it to heaven if you braid your hair and does not consider whether you come from Jamaica, Barbados the Caribbean or South Africa.
They believe that heaven will only open gate fir folks with only low cut, layers, short afro and the likes.

Personally, I don't like women with heavy makeup, it makes them look like clowns 🤡

How much more ministers of the gospel??

Lots of women mount the altar today with makeup...God dey watch them o.

And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.

Personally surprised this hasn't been moved to front page.

But not surprised that adeboye chooses to focus on superficial reformation than in-depth scriptural uprooting of jezebels and false prophets in rccg. If they like don't braid or do make up, if what's in your heart and life isn't the foundation laid by God, you won't stand nor survive
