‘I had many girlfriends’ — Pastor Enoch Adeboye
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has shared how he cured his ex-girlfriend’s son after he devoted his life to Christ.
Speaking on Thursday in a church convention he recalled when he had numerous girlfriends before he devoted his life to Christ, and strangely, he had an experience with one of them after God called him.
He disclosed that the young mother had a lame child and had brought him to him for healing, but she was taken aback when she recognised him as the man of God who was supposed to heal her son.
The clergyman described the situation as follows:
“I told you that before I gave my life to Jesus Christ, I had many, many girlfriends. But among all of them, there was one that I did everything with, and I won’t tell you the details.
“Then, we separated. She went her way; I went my way. We didn’t see for years, and she got married, and I got married.
“In the meantime, I got born again. When I was working at the University of Ilorin, looking after our little church there, in the meantime, they transferred her husband also to Ilorin.
“She had given birth to a child that was born lame. Someone told her there is a pastor up there; take your child to him. If he prays for the child, the child will walk. So, she came to the mission house.
“She saw some people at the veranda, and said ‘I want to see the pastor’. They said he is inside. And then she came in and saw me. We greeted. Old flames. How are you? Long time, no see. Where have you been.
“And then she said ‘I want to see the pastor’. And I said yes, can I help you? She said ‘I said I want to see the pastor’. I said I am the pastor. She said, ‘you?’ Yes, I said. ‘Are you the pastor?’ I said yes. She said ‘you will pray and God will answer?’
“She didn’t know that I have already met the Lord Jesus Christ, that old things have passed away, that all things have become new. And we prayed a simple prayer and the child began to walk”.
