You don’t need gun for self-defence, Adeboye tells Christians

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, has urged Christians to obtain cow jaw bones for self-defense instead of guns.

While clarifying his position on Christian self-defense, Adeboye stated that Samson was victorious in biblical times with jaw bones, not an AK-47.

The revered cleric made the statement on Sunday during the church's monthly thanksgiving service, which our correspondent saw.

“I never asked Christians to buy guns, Christians don’t need guns. Samson did not fight with an AK-47. Don’t go and buy guns,” Adeboye said.

He said while Nigerians require permission to procure guns, they do not require permission to get the jaw bone of a cow.

Adeboye bemoaned how difficult children could be taught about the exploits of Samson in a Sunday school, adding that jaw bones should suffice.

He added, “I have always wondered how you demonstrate to children in Sunday school, but the best way is to show children using the jaw bone of a cow, don’t buy guns.”

Adeboye added that they should demonstrate dedication and hard work to climb to the top and not wait to be contaminated when it comes to escaping danger, especially when it comes to sexual harassment towards women and men.
