A short video clip featuring the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has ignited a flurry of discussions across Nigerian social media platforms. The footage, which emerged online recently, shows the revered cleric seated at an unconfirmed event, visibly moving his mouth.
What the Viral Video Shows
The close-up video, initially shared by a TikTok user with the handle @viralgospelhq, captures Pastor Adeboye in a moment of quiet repose. While those around him are seated, the pastor's lips are seen in motion. The TikTok user who posted the clip on December 21, 2025, accompanied it with a caption expressing spiritual admiration.
The caption read: "Daddy GO still prays always. His tongue is always rolling, He’s always praying. God help me! Help us!! Help our Generation!!!" This framing prompted many viewers to see the act as one of continuous prayer or speaking in tongues.
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
The video quickly elicited a wide spectrum of interpretations from social media users, highlighting the deep respect many hold for the pastor, as well as more pragmatic views.
Mr. Positive offered a spiritual perspective, commenting: "As he's sitting there it's only his body that is there his spirit is just enjoying God's presence in heaven."
However, not all comments were of a purely spiritual nature. A user named Jim suggested a simpler explanation, stating: "It might be a habit."
Other notable reactions included:
- naths_513: "That's Meditation and can also be tongue but it's mostly meditation."
- Royalty?: "I hear almost all pastors are always like this ,as a wife before you get used to it you might think is mentally something."
- Femsy: "When prayer becomes a constant posture!?❤️❤️and Praying, Singing or praying in tongue - you do unconsciously when the spirit of GOD as taken over you."
Adeboye's Recent Teaching on Prayer
This viral moment comes shortly after Pastor Adeboye himself emphasized the significance of a specific type of prayer. During the Holy Ghost Congress of the RCCG, which concluded on Sunday, December 14, the cleric taught that the phrase 'God bless you' is the most important prayer.
He drew from the biblical story of Isaac blessing his sons, Jacob and Esau, to illustrate the transformative power of a father's blessing. Adeboye noted that even Esau, who received the lesser blessing, prospered immensely, implying greater blessings for those who receive a primary blessing with faith.
The viral video, whether capturing a moment of deep prayer, meditation, or personal habit, has once again focused national attention on one of Nigeria's most influential religious figures and sparked a conversation about faith, perception, and the personal disciplines of spiritual leaders.
