Pastor Adeboye Narrates How God Delivered Him From Temptation Of Opening His Own Church

Pastor E.A Adeboye

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor E.A Adeboye has disclosed how God helped him to overcome the temptation of establishing his own ministry.

Adeboye while speaking during a sermon in the church at the weekend, said he could have started his own ministry long ago but was stopped through the intervention of God who spoke to him in 1977.

Recall that the RCCG which is currently regarded as the fastest growing Pentecostal church in the world, was founded in 1947 by late Pastor Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi who died in 1980.

Adeboye who linked his successes in the ministry to his obedience to God’s instructions, urged those going into ministries to ensure they properly hear from God before making moves.

He said, “When every Dick and Harry will come to say, ‘we don’t want to belong to any denomination, we want to start a ministry, God told me, this is where you stay.

“I obeyed, I followed that father, I did whatever he said I should do and that’s why I am where I am today. Oh, I could have started my own ministry long ago.
