Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), narrated how a commandant of a paramilitary group duped him.

In his message, he noted that his desire to be part of a paramilitary group made him run ahead of God and he was duped in the process.

Interestingly, Daddy GO, as he is fondly called, noted that this costly experience birthed the Redemption City corps and a local police post.

In a post shared on his X page on Monday, September 16, Adeboye urged Nigerians, especially the Christians, not to outrun God.

Adeboye stated thus:

"Years ago, I was duped by a man who promised to make me a commandant of a paramilitary group. This man had been sending messages to me through my secretary for a while, and so, one day, I gave him audience. He explained to me how a Boy-Scouts-like group had evolved into this new agency, and that he was sourcing for who would lead the group spiritually.

"Normally, I ask God before getting involved in anything at all, but this time, my love for the military in my younger days beclouded my best instincts, and I agreed to be their head. He told me that they needed some funding, which I gave as the prospective head.

"However, I later found out that the man was a fake. My desire to be part of a paramilitary group made me run ahead of God, but God had already purposed for Redemption City to have its own corps of chaplains as well as a local Police post. He knew the desire of my heart, and He had planned for it to be fulfilled in His own time. I thought that I could bring my desire to fulfilment at my own time, but I was wrong. What I lost in that experience was money, but for someone else, it might have been their life or a loved one."
