A
seasoned Nigerian writer and columnist, has penned an interesting piece
on the worldwide General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God, Pastor E.A Adeboye.
Pastor Adeboye
What about handkerchiefs? Well, it is just a small piece of linen,
silk, or other fabric, usually square, used (especially) for wiping
one’s face.
But not when it is from Pastor Adeboye, the spiritual leader and global missioner of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
A handkerchief revolution is ongoing in that church; there is an
increasing number of miracles performed with his handkerchiefs, as was
the case of Apostle Paul.
At the February Holy Ghost service of the church held at its
massive auditorium, called the arena, a smiling Andrew Omatsola from
RCCG, Taraba province, Taraba state, stepped forward to testify proudly:
“Since the hanky Daddy blessed for us landed in Taraba, it has been
series of testimonies.”
He cited three examples, including a case where a relation of a man the handkerchief had healed, seized it.
Before him, a pastor had shared how a member of his church had died
during his sermon without them knowing. Church closed, it was time to
go home and they discovered the horrific scene. Pandemonium broke out!
But he was calm enough to remember pastor Adeboye’s handkerchief.
“I placed the handkerchief on the man’s head and he came back to life
immediately,” the pastor said.
A month before, Foster, a pastor from Ibadan had shared a similar experience.
“Ten days after the December, 2016 Holy Ghost Congress, I received a
call from my hometown that my mother has passed on. And the news put me
into confusion.
“I was crying for mercy in my house in Ibadan, when I remembered
the mantle (handkerchief) I received during the Congress. And suddenly, I
also remembered that one of my younger brothers in my town attended the
Congress and also had the handkerchief.
“So I called him to go to our house and place the handkerchief on
my mother. He said he was afraid but I encouraged him to do so.
“He went to our house and placed the handkerchief on my mother and
called me that he had done that. We just had a short prayer, and to the
Glory of God my mother came back to life.”
In all the above cases, the handkerchiefs were those pastor Adeboye
laid hands on to anoint for his pastors to use to anoint members of the
congregation. It was practically impossible for him to personally
anoint the millions of people there. After the exercise, he told the
pastors to keep the handkerchiefs.
Handkerchiefs for all
There is another set of anointed handkerchiefs. That is the more
awesome case. All he does is to ask the millions of people to wave their
handkerchiefs, while he prays from the altar to anoint them.
Considering that some of the congregation are sometimes more than a
kilometre away in the three-kilometre-by-three-kilometre arena, the
transmission of anointing could be difficult to understand in the
physical.
But as examples from Daddy GO below show, the handkerchiefs blessed
in the air from the altar or transmitted through other means are
equally potent.
Lagos: A member of the church attended one of the
programmes at which handkerchiefs were anointed. Some days later he was
driving to Lagos and saw a crowd gathered on the road. Out of curiosity,
he came out to see, and discovered that a motorcyclist had been knocked
down by a vehicle and he lay dead by the road side.
At that point, something said to him, “You have that handkerchief in your pocket, bring it out.”
He brushed aside the crowd, laid the handkerchief on the dead man and said, “get up.”
The onlookers were wondering about his sanity until they saw the
man who was dead coming back to life. Not only did he rise up, the
wounds had disappeared. It was a miracle, the miracle of my salvation
that brought me to the level where I can wave my hand and handkerchiefs
will receive power.
Port Harcourt: The Full Gospel Men International
had a convention in Port Harcourt, to which they invited me to speak on a
topic, “A New Anointing.”
As I spoke, I gave some examples of what God, in His infinite
mercies, has done through me. Soon, it was time to go home; the crowd
began to surge forward, so much such that I was smuggled into my car.
But there was a woman who decided she would touch my car if she
could not touch me. So, she took out a handkerchief and dropped it on
the car I was in and took it back before we could drive off.
This lady had a sister that had gone completely mad. Even though
she was a little girl, it took six men to hold her down. They were happy
when the woman got back because they didn’t know how to handle the
situation.
“No problem, I have the solution in my hand,” she said, waving the
handkerchief. She took the anointed handkerchief and laid it on her mad
sister and the girl became normal again.
United States: A women came to me to say her
daughter in the US was about to deliver but the doctors checked and
found that the baby was too big to come out on his own. They also
discovered that if she was operated upon, she would bleed to death
because there was no way they could stop her bleeding.
I told her to bring a handkerchief so I could pray over it for her
to take there since I couldn’t go to the US that moment. But as I was
about to say one handkerchief, I said two. I didn’t know why I said
that. She brought two handkerchiefs, I prayed over them and said travel
quickly to the US since the doctors said they couldn’t wait for three
days.
Upon her arrival there, she gave one of the handkerchiefs to the
daughter, they prayed and slept. By the time they woke up they couldn’t
find the handkerchiefs. It had disappeared! She was convinced then that
the battle she was facing was not an ordinary one.
She thanked God there were two handkerchiefs. She then took the
second one and tied it so tightly round the hand of the daughter that
anyone who would take it would have to cut off the hand.
Time ticked away and the doctors said they had waited enough and
that by 10.00 o’clock, they would commence the procedure because they
needed to save the child, which meant that its mother could bleed to
death.
By 9.00 o’clock the baby came out – mother and child safe.
POST SCRIPT: Let me admit the source of this
piece. As Pastor Adeboye prayed a closing prayer for the congregation at
the Holy Ghost service, a small still voice in me said, “his
handkerchiefs.” Just that!
Even if I was mistaken about it, the instruction that came in that same voice as I left the church later was clear.
“Make it clear that the handkerchiefs may not work for everyone.
They don’t commit heinous sin and reach out immediately for the
handkerchief to perform miracles. Remember his (Pastor Adeboye’s) key
success factors, holiness, obedience and faith.”
