The General Overseer (GO) of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has come out to say that he and his prayer warriors will not stop praying until rapists start to pay for their crimes.

He revealed this during a live programme on DOVE TV, monitored in Ibadan today.

According to him, the issue of rape is becoming common in society and it is a bad and unbiblical act that can leave permanent scars on the victim for the rest of their lives.

He added that God will expose anyone who has ever committed rape, particularly in Nigeria and the world, eventually.

His words, “Myself and prayer warriors will not rest in prayers until the perpetrators of this evil are brought to justice, not only in Nigeria but all over the world.

“Everyone who has ever committed rape, particularly in Nigeria and the world, the all-knowing God will fish them.

“As much as I hate death sentence, I think every form of punishment that will be given to a rapist cannot be considered too severe.

“Anyone, who ever thinks of raping someone again, the almighty God will stop them even before they do so and if they insist God will take them away.

“I am calling on every Christian all over the world to please join me in this prayer.”

“Your journey to the top begins when you start sensing that what you call ‘good’ is not enough; the greatest enemy is when you think that you are already great while you are still incomplete.

“Your journey to the top begins when you become aware that God reserves the best till the last; the journey to the top begins from your knees and acknowledging Christ as your lord and saviour.”
