The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has swiped at women wearing makeup. According to him, women who do so doubt God’s perfect work on them.
The renowned cleric made this statement on Saturday, August 10, during the RCC ministers’ conference, which was part of the 72nd annual convention held at the Redemption Camp, Mowe, Ogun State.
Adeboye affirmed that God did an excellent job on women and he noted that women who wear makeup feel God felt God did not create them perfectly.
He sayspastors, “When you marry, you cut your coat according to your clothes. Some of you want to be like the people of the world. I can’t even imagine some of the things I see now. It wasn’t so in the beginning.
“People spend hundreds of thousands of naira on ‘shoot out’ (photo shoot). And then, on the day of the wedding, the girl put on all manner of decorations. Those who do make-up are those who do not believe God did a good job.
“When God created you, He did a great job, you are wonderful, perfectly made, and you cannot find any other fellow like you. You are special.
“When you begin to paint, and you think you can improve on what God has already done, you are a fool. You can never improve on what God has done.”
