The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Aadeboye, has said God told him mockers will become more aggressive in 2025, but many of them will not survive the year.


In a viral video of his sermon during the first Holy Ghost Night service of 2025, Mr Adeboye referred to an AI-generated meme depicting him as an Alhaji. He explained that God told him mockers would intensify their efforts this year but that many would not make it through.

“I’m sure many of you saw on the internet how some people used AI to generate a picture of me looking like an Alhaji. How many of you saw that one?” Mr Adeboye asked his congregation, laughing.

“The Lord said, ‘Mockers will be louder and more aggressive this year than ever before. But unfortunately, Daddy says many of them will not survive this year,'” Mr Adeboye said, as his congregation responded with a resounding “Amen.”

He added, “I’m the one who added ‘unfortunately’ because God doesn’t want the death of sinners. But many of them have decided not to repent.”

The comments from Mr Adeboye followed the circulation of an AI-generated image, which portrayed him as a Muslim pilgrim in Mecca.

The photo went viral in the final days of 2024, coinciding with a heated debate over a controversial banner displayed on the fence of a mosque in the Lekki area of Lagos.

The banner claimed that Jesus was a prophet, not the Son of God, as believed by Christians.
