The general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adeboye has asked Nigerians to defend themselves when faced with an attack.

Speaking in the church’s July 2022 Holy Ghost Service the clergyman insisted that there is nowhere in the bible where God said a child of God cannot defend himself.

He explained that when God is silent it means it is time for his children to act.

He said: “from now on it is going to be fire for fire.

“some jokers said churches should not open for three months. Who is your commander? god of Boko haram, let the devil try any nonsense, from now on it is going to be fire for fire.

“I don’t want to say much because I know some people may want to twist it but I have searched the bible from cover to cover and there is nowhere in the bible where God said a child of God cannot defend himself if you find the place let me know. he said that if they slap you on the right cheek turn left, he said that one. if they now slap the left what did he say? when god is silent, do you know the meaning of that, it simply means over to you.

“I am only talking to my children. only my children come to the holy ghost service.”
