The general overseer of the Redeemed Christian church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has lamented over the high rise of corruption in the country.

He stated that majority of Christians who are supposed to be peculiar people and make a difference have compromised.

Adeboye recalled how one of his spiritual daughters was asked to inflate a ₦3m contract to ₦33m.

The revered cleric disclosed this at the Holy Communion service during the annual RCCG convention.

According to him, the lady in question was given a road contract in a particular state in Nigeria.

He said she was asked to increase the cost of the project from ₦3 million which she wrote in her proposal to ₦33 million.

In his words: “We talk about corruption in Nigeria. Why do you think corruption has become so deep? it is because we Christians, who are supposed to be peculiar people, are not making any difference. It’s so difficult to even know who is who.

“You must be as pure as light, people must be able to see you at a distance and know that this is a candidate for heaven. In your behaviour, character, you must be different. If you want to compromise because of promotion, let them take their promotion because you are a peculiar people.

“One of my daughters got a contract to tar a road in one of the states in Nigeria. She gave a proposal of N3 million, but they asked her to put N33 million. She was surprised, turned down the offer and said I am a child of God, how will I spend the money? They looked at her as if she was somebody who dropped from the sky.

“Another child of mine told another story. She applied for a contract. They gave her to go and tar a road. She got to the road and found that the road was already tarred. She came back and told them there must have been a mistake. They said,” What is your problem, collect your money and give us our own.”

He, however, stated that corruption would have been a thing of the past in the country if Christians decided not to compromise even in the face of adversity.
