“You are a fool, you can never improve on what God has done”: Pastor Adeboye speaks out against wedding day makeup

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has expressed his disapproval of women who wear makeup on their wedding day.

He stated that such women lack faith in God’s creation, implying that they do not trust in God’s perfection.

Pastor Adeboye made these remarks during the RCCG ministers’ conference held at the church’s National Convention grounds on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

“It wasn’t so in the beginning. When you marry, you cut your coat according to your clothes.

“Some of you want to be like the people of the world. I can’t even imagine some of the things I see now.

“People spend hundreds of thousands of naira on ‘shoot out’ (photo shoot). And then on the day of the wedding, the girl put on all manner of decoration.

“Those who do make-up are those who do not believe God did a good job.

“When God created you, He did a great job, you are wonderful, perfectly made and you cannot find any other fellow like you, you are special.

“When you begin to paint, and you think you can improve on what God has already done, you are a fool. You can never improve on what God has done.”
