Pastor Adeboye, while elaborating on his concern, recounted the warning he received from God when he was a new Christian convert about switching churches
He recalled that when he’d just gotten born again, he was tempted to switch between the three major ministries in the country at the time. However, he got a stern warning from God to remain in RCCG or risk the death of his firstborn.

Pastor Adeboye said, “When I got born again, there were three major ministries that were making waves, and they were very good. There were different temptations to go from one to another.
“But God said to me, ‘Son, I brought you here. This is where you will stay. The day you leave this denomination, your firstborn will die.’”
Speaking further, Pastor Adeboye noted that at the time he received this instruction RCCG was relatively obscure, with its headquarters located in a modest building in Ebute-Metta, Lagos.

He explained that despite his lofty status as a university lecturer, God commanded him to serve under his spiritual mentor, who had no formal education.
“I was a lecturer at the university. My father in the Lord didn’t go to secondary school, not even primary,” he said. “But God said this is where you will stay.”
Pastor Adeboye therefore urged young believers to seek God for direction on the denomination to join and remain there as instructed.
“Discover where God wants you to stay, and stay there,” he advised.
Pastor Adeboye however clarified that his message was not to suggest RCCG is superior to other Christian denominations.
“I am not saying we (RCCG) are better than any other denomination,” the cleric noted.
Adeolu Adeboye, the first son of the revered clergyman is also an RCCG pastor.
