General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has banned Pastors in the church from match-making members.

Speaking at yesterday’s service which marked the end of the 64th Annual Convention, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A Adeboye has banned Pastors in the church from match-making members, saying there should be no more cases of arranging brothers and sisters for marriage.

“Don’t be entangled with marriage among members because you will bear the consequences. It is not your duty to arrange a brother and a sister for marriage because you cannot arrange their fruitfulness. Don’t get involved in marriage by proxy,” he said.

The influential cleric urged pastors to teach their spiritual children to seek the face of the Lord in marriage because every marriage has its challenges.
