“YOU DON’T NEED GUN FOR SELF-DEFENCE”, ADEBOYE ADVISES CHRISTIANS
By Sumayyah Olapade
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, has urged Christians to use cow jaw bones for self-defense rather than guns.
While clarifying his stance on Christians using self-defense, Adeboye claimed that Samson won battles in the Bible with jaw bones rather than an AK-47.
The revered priest clarified the matter on Sunday in a sermon titled “Made for the top” delivered during the church’s regular Thanksgiving ceremony, which our correspondent observed.
“I never urged Christians to own firearms; they are not required. Samson didn’t use an AK-47 during battle. Avoid going to buy weapons, Adeboye advised.
He claimed that whereas Nigerians needed authorization to buy guns, they do not require permission to get the jaw bone of a cow.
Adeboye complained how challenging it would be to teach students about Samson’s achievements in a Sunday school, adding that jaw bones ought to do.
The greatest method to demonstrate to youngsters in Sunday school, he continued, “is to show them using the jaw bone of a cow, don’t buy guns”.
