The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has shared an emotional account of how he dealt with expensive gifts during the early years of his ministry.
Speaking during the church’s thanksgiving service, Adeboye narrated how an elderly woman once surprised him with a Mercedes Benz at a time he was still relying on public transportation.
“I almost said, ‘Alakoba wo le leyi?’ I hope this one is not trying to get me into trouble,” he said.
Unsure of what to do with the car, he explained that he parked it and refused to use it. He said he later received a warning from God in a dream for not accepting the woman’s generosity.
“Why are you robbing my daughter of her blessing? She sowed a seed, and you are not allowing the seed to germinate,” he quoted God as saying.
Following the instruction, Adeboye said he gave the car to his late deputy, Pastor Abiodun, who advised him to keep and enjoy the gift himself, but he insisted on giving it away.
He said he soon received three more Mercedes Benz cars, a development he described as surprising.
According to him, while he was still wondering what to do with the vehicles, a man arrived at his residence around 2:00am with a rare six-door Mercedes limousine, saying God had directed him to deliver it immediately.
“I said to God, ‘Even if I die and they put me in this car, I will wake up. Will you permit me to sell the car?’” he recalled.
He said he prayed about it and received permission to sell the luxury vehicle.
“I remember I sold it and used the money to buy motorcycles for my pastors,” he concluded.
