The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has revealed that he called off the Crossover service for his congregation to teach them something on submission.

According to him, he saw the cancellation of the crossover service as an opportunity to make him members learn about obedience even though they are not in agreement with him.

In his words: “I know some of you have been asking me ‘Daddy, why did you cancel the crossover service? We were getting ready to come to the camp to sing and dance and jump’. I will tell you why.

“Reason number one, I saw the opportunity to teach you another lesson on submission. When you obey in agreement with what your boss says, that is called cooperation. When your boss asks you to do something and you do it, even though you do not agree with him, it is called submission. Submission is when you obey even when you don’t agree.

“Some said by 10pm you should close. Another one said by 11pm you should close. I said, okay, let’s agree and close in our home. So, I said we’ll stay in our house and crossover at 12 midnight.”
