Why You Don’t Need To Pray Against Your Enemies

"That Is Not In The Bible": Pastor Adeboye Apologizes For Making Wrong Statement About Tithes

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has revealed why believers should stop praying against their enemies.

Naija News reports that Adeboye while speaking at the church’s monthly Thanksgiving Service held at the church’s national headquarters, Throne of Grace, Ebute-Metta, Lagos, said only those with great destiny are being envied.

While questioning believers on who will be around to celebrate their wins, the clergy said praying against one’s enemies does not make sense, citing Psalms 23 verse 5.

Speaking on the theme:” ‘Divine Wings,’ 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?”

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

Pastor Adeboye also recounted how the president of an African country cherished his meeting with him, adding that at the end of the meeting, he was amazed at 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.”
