He asserted that corruption is at its peak in Nigeria as a result of the vast majority of Christians who’re purported to be peculiar individuals and make a distinction have compromised.
Adeboye said that corruption would have been a factor of the previous within the nation if Christians determined to not compromise even within the face of adversity.
He stated, “We speak about corruption in Nigeria. Why do you assume corruption has develop into so deep? It is as a result of we Christians, who’re purported to be peculiar individuals, do not make any distinction. It’s so troublesome to even know who’s who.
“You should be as pure as mild. People should be capable to see you at a distance and know that this can be a candidate for heaven. In your behaviour, character, you should be completely different. If you need to compromise due to promotion, allow them to take their promotion as a result of you’re a peculiar particular person.
“The world will hate you because of your standard because your standard is that of God.”
Narrating how one in every of his non secular daughters was requested to inflate a N3m contract to N33m, the revered cleric stated the girl was given a street contract in a selected state in Nigeria, however she turned down the provide
He stated: “One of my daughters got a contract to tar a road in one of the states in Nigeria. She gave a proposal of N3 million, but they asked her to put N33 million. She was surprised, turned down the offer, and said I am a child of God. How will I spend the money?” They checked out her as if she was any individual who dropped from the sky.”

In one other occasion: “Another child of mine told another story. She applied for a contract. They gave her to go and tar a road. She got to the road and found that the road was already tarred. She came back and told them there must have been a mistake. They said, ‘What is your problem, collect your money and give us our own.’”
Adeboye, due to this fact, urged Christians to shun a life-style of double requirements and all types of corruption.
