I still flee from sexual temptation despite my anointing — Adeboye

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has cautioned that no amount of anointing can protect against sexual temptation.

Speaking at the Ministers & Workers Conference of RCCG Americas 1, Adeboye emphasized the importance of vigilance among gospel ministers.

He drew on the example of Samson, who fell into sexual immorality despite being anointed by God.

Adeboye urged both men and women to be mindful of lust and to flee from anything that appears to be sinful.

He said, “Somebody says, at your age, why are you still running? I run faster than before because the closer you get to the finishing point, the more careful you must be.

“Some of you can say, ‘Daddy, what are you saying, are you still running?’ I run fast.

“‘With all your anointing?’ Does anointing turn your body to stone? Samson was anointed. Single-handedly, he killed a thousand soldiers. A woman finished him. I hope the boys are listening.

“You can say, ‘Is anybody still interested in an 82-year-old man?’ She is not interested in you but interested in putting an end to all the great works God has done through you.

“You see that woman smiling at you everywhere you go, she is there smiling, and she is not your wife, run.”
