Pastor E.A Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God,
RCCG, has narrated how he through the help of God, overcame the temptation of
establishing a ministry of his own.
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.
“Way back in 1977, I held a program, ‘Christ Redeemer
Congress’ in Ile Ife Grammar School, people came from all over Nigeria. I
collected the names of all secondary schools and teachers training colleges and
I invited them all and they came.
“I could have taken over from there, but God said no, here,
this is the one to follow. And He had given instructions that my brain couldn’t
understand.
“But God who knows the end from the beginning said this is
where you go. So, if some of you said you hear from God, and God asked you to
go and start your own ministry, congratulations! Let’s see how far you will
go.”
