Renowned Nigerian pastor Enoch A. Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has drawn public attention after a new video of him visiting a local parish went viral.
The clip shows Adeboye making an unannounced appearance at the church, a moment that left members deeply emotional. Several congregants were seen crying as they welcomed the respected cleric, overwhelmed by his unexpected presence.
The scene has sparked mixed reactions online. Some observers suggested the congregation could have used the rare opportunity to seek financial assistance from Adeboye to help complete their unfinished church building. Others questioned the level of emotion displayed, arguing that certain members seemed to show more reverence for the pastor than for God.
The discussion highlights ongoing debates about leadership, influence, and perception within religious communities, especially when prominent figures make surprise visits to smaller congregations.

@the_oddmind: Even though I am not a Christian, this kind of moment will be highly emotional and a lifetime of great memory for these members. We are all equals but some are more equal than the other. It is the heirachy of life!

@ednut99: Ahhh omo Africans are just religion slave Why are they crying because they see pastor Adeboye.
@haNzo_DowMaker: Most of you just hate anything related to God. Fans faint when the see artist on stage, many struggle to touch or snap with them, yu dont give negative comments about that. But because its related to God, and not a circular musician, footballer or actor, it becomes a problem.
@ozioma88: I’ve always admired his humility, it is rare. But let’s talk about those emotional hypocrites crying and shouting Jesus. What’s that? 🙄. When you see your daddy and father in the lord, joy and laughter should actually feel your soul and spirit. No son sees his father and start crying. Even God don’t give a damn about your tears and cries but your faith.
@MoneyMindsetNg: Nigerians with emotional display, image say na Jesus show up 🤣🤣🤣.
