Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has reportedly shared his reasons for no longer hiring female secretaries. While I don’t have access to the exact transcript of his statement, I can share what has been reported about his position.

Based on various accounts of his teachings, Pastor Adeboye’s decision appears to be rooted in:

Many religious leaders make similar decisions to maintain moral integrity and avoid situations that could lead to temptation or false accusations.

As a prominent religious figure, he likely seeks to prevent any situations that could damage his reputation or ministry.

The decision may reflect his interpretation of biblical principles about relationships between men and women in professional settings.

This position aligns with practices adopted by some religious leaders across different faith traditions who choose to have same-gender assistants to maintain appropriate boundaries in their work. Pastor Adeboye is known for his conservative approach to ministry and adherence to traditional biblical interpretations.

It’s worth noting that this is a personal ministry decision rather than a universal mandate for all churches or believers.
