RCCG Altar Not For Male Pastors With Braids, Women With Heavy Makeup – Adeboye

Adeboye says the RCCG altar is not for male pastors with braids or women with heavy makeup.

Glamtush reports that the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has faulted men with braided hair and women sporting false eyelashes and heavy makeup.

This online news platform understands that expressing his discontent with the trend among church workers, Adeboye made it clear that such styles will no longer be tolerated on RCCG altars.

In an address at the church’s 72nd annual convention, which ended Sunday, his comments highlighted his disbelief at the rising trend of these fashion choices among church members.

This edition of the convention with the theme “Heaven” started Monday, August 5, and ended on Sunday, August 11, 2024, at The Redemption City, Mowe, Ogun State (Lagos-Ibadan Way).

He said, “In Yorubaland, the only men who braid hair are the priests of Sango, the god of thunder. They say this is a new age and that we must be adaptable to what is going on. To continue as Sango priests? Not in this mission. Even after I’m gone, it will still not happen.”

According to Church Times, Adeboye said further, “Take this word from me. When we find anybody among pastors; particularly female pastors, made up to look like a representative of Nollywood; we will walk her off the altar.”

While pleading for forgiveness if he was too harsh, he said, ‘You may not like it. If you are my children, you can’t kill me. Do you know why men don’t makeup? I mean, real men. It’s because we have what is called a superiority complex.  We stand before the Lord and say, ‘God, You did a good job creating us. You made no mistake.’”

He stated that even men with bald heads still look very handsome, adding, however, that some people just want to appear false.
