Apparently referring to his spiritual endowment, the general overseer of
the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare
Adeboye, has said that he is richer than one of the world’s richest men, Bill Gates.
Teaching
the worshipers in the mission during the church’s 63rd Annual
Convention on Saturday shortly before the Holy Communion Service on the
topic; “Overflowing Cup,” Pastor Adeboye said that if Bill Gates
needs shoes, he would have to go to the market to buy them, but that if
he should announce that he needs shoes at the Redemption Camp, where the
convention took place, the auditorium might not contain the shoes
people would donate to him.
“I have houses in at least 188
countries of the world, where we have our churches, so I am richer than
Bill Gates. Each time I visit these countries, my children would be
struggling and saying ‘daddy, come and stay with me.’
“ If I
announce here that tomorrow morning, I need a car to travel to the new
auditorium, how many cars do you think would be made available to me by
you my children? Those of you that do not have a car of your own, very
soon, God will give you your own cars. So, I am appealing to you to
become an incurable soul winner before you leave this convention ground
and your cup will overflow,” he said.
Meanwhile,
a total of 104 children, comprising 49 boys and 55 girls, were
delivered at the camp ground of the mission as at Saturday, 8th August.
The
Friday, August 7 Convention/Holy Ghost Service, which attracted
millions of people from all over the country, and which caused heavy
traffic gridlock along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, witnessed salvation,
testimonies, prayers, songs and healing, where the lame walked and the
sick got healed.
There were also many powerful testimonies during
the Friday Holy Ghost service, with a woman testifying of how she was
healed of cancer, while another woman, who was barren for 20 years, said
God eventually gave her a set of twins through the ministry of Pastor
Adeboye.
Another lady, who was possessed by a marine spirit, also
gave a testimony of how God delivered her and she vomited two keys,
which she showed to the congregation as proof.
Also testifying,
Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, said that he dropped out of school
in 1979 and became a motor park tout, but that he is now a holder of a
doctorate degree and a worker in RCCG.
He said, “Pastor Enoch
Adeboye prayed for me concerning my ambition to become governor and it
came to pass after many years of my attempt to hold a public office”.
In
his sermon, Pastor Adeboye assured the congregation that God is
sufficient in all ways, adding that God can reverse all the irreversible
and solve all their problems if they obey Him.
