The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG has urged believers to stop praying against their enemies.

Making the appeal during the church monthly Thanksgiving Service held at the church’s national headquarters, Throne of Grace, Ebute-Metta, Lagos, Pastor Adeboye explained that only those with great destiny are being envied.

Speaking on the theme of the programme:” ‘Divine Wings’, organised specifically for health practitioners, Adeboye said: “It does not make sense praying against one’s enemy. If you pray against your enemy, who will be around to celebrate you? The Bible says he will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemy.

“We should not pray against them. Rather, we should pray that God will make them repent. When people are envious of you and speak evil against you don’t be bothered. You have to be great to be envied. If you pray for your enemy’s death who will be around to celebrate you’ he said.

Sharing his background experience, Adeboye said he had often wondered how God lifted and showed him mercy in life despite his extremely poor background, adding that God is the only burden bearer who is able to make a man fly in life.

The revered cleric recounted how the president of an African country cherished a meeting he had with him.

He said at the end of the meeting with the president, he was amazed how God had given him so much privilege.

In his words: “I went to an African country for a crusade and wanted to see the president of the country. I was told I could not see him. But when the president knew I was around he offered to see me. I was with him and we kept talking. When it was two hours of meeting, I told him people were already waiting at the crusade ground for me. He said let them wait. They have people they can talk with. Me I don’t have. We ended up spending five hours.”
