Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God has gone tough with those who go out of their way to adorn themselves with ungodly and indecent dressings in the Church, especially workers.
An indecent dressing is described as “clothing that is considered inappropriate or offensive based on the customs and moral standards of our society”, where members especially ladies over dress and show off by exposing dsensitive parts of their body.
For women, it often involves clothings that expose sensitive or private body parts like breasts, buttocks or abdomen.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, popularly called Daddy G.O. with this observation faulted men with braided hair, tatoos, and women sporting false eyelashes and heavy makeup.
Expressing his discontent with the trend among the church workers, the respected cleric made it clear that such styles would no longer be tolerated on RCCG altars.
His comments highlighted his disbelief at the rising trend of these fashion choices among church members.
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.”
He 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 noted that even men with bald heads still look very handsome, adding, however, that some people just want to appear false.
“When you begin to fix false nails, I wonder what you want to achieve – If God wanted to make you a bird, He would have given you a false nail and false eyelashes,” he added.
He urged those who take pleasure in appearing weird to repent and be modest. “You can quote me: Tell anybody who questioned why you are doing this drastic change, tell him or her, “Daddy GO said so,” he asserted.
Daddy G.O. wondering why a woman would expose her breasts, explained, “She wants to divert attention from her face. She believes she is ugly, so the man will be lured.
“All my daughters, listen to me: You are fearfully and wonderfully made. If anybody does not like you the way you are, it’s that person’s loss,” he added.
He pleaded with workers in the church to stop messing up what God had done.
“He did a good job. When He created you, you were original. You remain an original,” the cleric declared.
The respected father of faith at many times condemned many of the modern ways some members of the Church dress, even to Churches and Church programmes.
At one time, he warned ladies dressing in minis which expose their curves and maintained that such would be discouraged in the mission hence forth.
It is believed that such dressings could confuse young believers and set old ones on the path of backsliding.
As this is not only applicable to The Redeemed Christian Church of God, other Churches that believe in moral standards can follow such declaration.
