Amid the ongoing economic hardships and rising prices, occasioned by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's economic reform policies, Adeboye highlighted the importance of appreciating God’s mercy in difficult times.
He spoke on Sunday, January 5, while delivering his sermon at the church’s annual thanksgiving service tagged “All Round Praise” at the national headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos.
Pastor Adeboye shared a poignant message about mental health, clothing, and societal values.
The cleric said:
“If you don’t know what to thank God for, thank Him for His mercy. You are alive today not because of your ability, strength, or wisdom but because of His mercy. The Bible says, ‘A living dog is better than a dead lion.’ As long as you are breathing, there is hope for you.”
Adeboye criticises indecent dressing
As reported by Vanguard, Adeboye also criticised the growing trend of indecent dressing, equating it to a form of practical nakedness.
The revered cleric called for a return to modesty and decency in appearance.
Adeboye said:
“Today, we see people exposing what clothes are supposed to cover. They celebrate this on television, but it’s not right.”
