Adeboye reveals how he resists sexual temptations

Adeboye, 82, admitted that despite his age and years as a clergyman, he still takes measures to resist sexual temptations, The Punch reported.

His words:

“Some people say, ‘Why are you still running at your age? I run faster than I used to because the closer you get to the finish line, the more careful you have to be.’

“Some of you may say, ‘Dad, what do you say, are you still running?’ I run fast.”

“‘With all your anointing?’ Does anointing turn your body to stone? Samson was anointed. He single-handedly killed a thousand soldiers. A woman finished him off. I hope the boys are listening.

“You can say, ‘Is anyone still interested in an 82-year-old man?’ She’s not interested in you; she’s interested in putting an end to all the great works God has done through you.”
