How I Had So Many Girlfriends Many Years Back When I Was Younger; I Couldn’t Even Count Them I Was Rotten – Pastor Adeboye.
In a recent video on YouTube the Church official channel called Dove Telegram, The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor Enoch Adeboye shared the transformative power of salvation and redemption that was vividly illustrated through his own personal journey as a young person before he encountered Jesus.
According to him, “This fellow standing before you used to be a rotten sinner – that’s why I could relate to that fellow. I used to go to Church once in a while, we even bought clocks for parishes but I wasn’t an armed robber. I had so many girlfriends when I wasn’t born again; I couldn’t even number them. I was rotten. But among my rottenness, there was one that I was so rotten with her … it was something else. Don’t ask me for details – I won’t tell you. Then after sometime we parted – she went her way and I went my way. She got married, I got married. Years passed, in the meantime I met the Lord Jesus Christ, he saved my soul and gave me genuine salvation not the kind of salvation some of you claim. He gave me the kind of salvation that makes sin repulsive to me. I became a pastor, glory be to God. I became a pastor and I was lecturing at the University of Ilorin and at the same time, pastoring our little Church there. Then her husband was transferred from his place of work to Ilorin. In the meantime, she had given birth to a child born lame – child who had never walked. When she came to Ilorin somebody told her, “hey, there’s a pastor up there, if he should pray for your child the child will walk. So she came to the Mission house, saw some people by the verandah, “I want to see the Pastor.” They said he is inside. She opened the door and saw me and we greeted, “ah, long time no see – you know, old flames.” What has been happening to you, etc.”
