The general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has made it clear that his refusal to hire female secretaries is not discriminatory but rather a personal decision meant to steer clear of potentially tempting circumstances.
During a recent church service, Adeboye stated that he thought it was safer to work without a female secretary after reaching a point in his ministry where he frequently works late into the night.
He said: “From the moment I got to this campground, from the moment I got to a stage where at night I still have to work, I ceased to have a female secretary. Some people think it is gender discrimination. I know myself. I knew who I was before Jesus saved my soul. And I know the possibility of dangers of being left alone at night with people of the opposite sex.
“Oh, but if we were to get a secretary like the last one I had, she was a wonderful child of God, a true child of the living God. And when I got here, I knew I’ll still be in the office at 3 AM. Can you imagine after a long day’s work, everybody’s gone, we’ve seen the last visitor, and then my secretary comes in at 2:00 AM: “We are through now, sir. Is there any way I can help you? You know, a cup of tea to relax?” At two o’clock. Jonah must go.”
