Pastor Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has reacted to the criticism of the message he shared in celebration of his wife on her birthday.

Celebrating his wife Foluke Adeboye who clocked 72, Pastor Adeboye revealed that she still obeys and sees him as "her head" despite how powerful she is.

This didn't sit well with some feminists on social media who lashed at him for making his wife's birthday about himself.

In reaction, Pastor Adeboye who delivered a sermon titled “From lockdown to lifting up” on July 19, stated that his post was meant for his children.

“As a matter of fact, if there is a way of preaching this sermon just to my own children alone, that is what I would have done.

"Not because I’m selfish but occasionally there are things you say to your children that would annoy outsiders. And you keep on saying, but I am not talking to you, I am talking to my children. But now, the lockdown has made the door open to everybody.

"Some people see the glory but don’t know the story. Some people see me and say all kinds of things. It’s none of my business.

"I don’t need to answer you. I just need to keep on riding high with my king. I’m talking to my children, so others should not be angry with me. Before you take off, consider your landing”, he said
