According to Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Christians should practise what he called “violent praise,” a kind of worship so powerful that it can stop the skies until divine intervention is released….CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
Adeboye, who frequently relies on the crowd to repeat the word “Hallelujah” throughout services, emphasised the spiritual significance of shouting praises during a sermon. He clarified that biblical mandates for violent praise are not human inventions. “He’s talking about number three, violent praise—that kind of prayer that will stop the heavens until your problem has been resolved,” Adeboye stated. “And we’ll discuss violent praise in more detail in the future.” The acclaimed cleric cited the Psalms as the basis for his determination that worship sessions be filled with fervent and boisterous praise.

It is a weapon of the spirit. I keep asking individuals to do it repeatedly because of this.

He said, “The heavens are shaken by violent praise.” It was a yell, not a compromise, that brought down the walls of Jericho. That is the type of recognition we are discussing. Both in-person and online, Adeboye’s remarks resonated with believers, who described the message as a reminder that praise can be a powerful spiritual weapon….CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
