The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has directed its parishes not to allow any external preacher, speaker, or minister on their altars or platforms.
This was contained in a memo signed by the Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Administration, Pastor Oladele Balogun.
According to the memo, any parish intending to invite a guest minister, speaker or preacher must ensure that the individual is a recognised member of RCCG.
“We wish to inform you that the General Overseer has issued a further directive that no external Preacher, Speaker, or Minister should be permitted on any of our altars or platforms.
“Anyone intending to invite a Guest Minister, Speaker, or Preacher to their Parish must ensure that the individual is a recognized member of RCCG.
“We wish to reiterate that any Minister(s) who violate the above directives will face severe disciplinary measures and may be relieved of their ministerial duties in the mission.
“Kindly inform all and sundry of the above directives which take immediate effect.
“We appreciate your continued cooperation and support as we wish to assure you of the continuous prayers of the General Overseer for continued divine repositioning. Remain blessed as you continue to experience God beyond expectations this season in Jesus Name,” the memo read.
