The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) General Overseer, Pastor E.A. Adeboye has made some revelations.
He said: “If you really, really want to serve God, then you must be ready to serve him whether things are pleasant or not.”
“In the darkest moment of my life since becoming a Christian – when I lost my son without notice – my son called me on a Sunday evening and said, ‘Daddy, the weekend programme was extremely successful. Glory be to God, thank you for your prayer support.’ The next thing I heard on Tuesday night was that my son was gone.”
“I had to preach on Friday, and one reference point that gave me strength was Uma Ukpai. I know he lost more than one child in a day, yet he did not waver. He kept on serving God. He gave me strength at a time when I needed it most.”
