Biography of enoch adejare adeboye in aso

As a matter of fact, he unashamedly tells his congregation that he never owned shoes until he was eighteen years of age. What he possessed though were physical intangibles such as focus, consistency, diligence, ambition, a brilliant mind and a determination to succeed in life. In Enoch Adeboye was admitted into Ilesha Grammar School, Ilesha, Osun State, Western Nigeria and as a youth he discovered a passion for books, and an aptitude for science and in particular the field of Mathematics.

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, often regarded as one of the most influential Christian leaders of our time, is the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of Missing: aso.

This led to an academic journey in the field of Mathematics against incredible odds including but not limited to finances, the Nigerian Civil War and academic politics. It did seem that his academic ambition would be realized as his academic career flourished. However, this was not to be as a greater career awaited him in the service of the Lord.

Growing up as a nominal Anglican Episcopalian , Enoch Adeboye had a vague knowledge that God existed in heaven but did not have or know that he needed to have a relationship with him until when together with his wife he walked into a most unimpressive building seeking divine intervention from personal challenges. Akindayomi, a man who though was illiterate had been supernaturally endowed with the ability to read the Yoruba a native Nigerian dialect version of the Holy Bible translated from the Authorized King James Version.

Even though both the environment and the Pastor the founder himself seemed unlikely to have anything to offer to a man of his status, Enoch Adeboye was unusually inspired and touched by the Word and also by the presence of God. On that very day, Enoch Adeboye committed his life totally to the Lord Jesus Christ and has since not looked back.

As Enoch Adeboye joined and became an active member of RCCG, the founder began to personally mentor and groom him for the future assignment he was totally unaware of. He initially served as the sermon interpreter to the founder from the native Yoruba dialect to the English language and later was ordained a Pastor. These were very successfully conducted in various cities all over southwestern Nigeria.

By the time the founder passed away in , RCCG had about 42 Parishes and this in those days was a great achievement.

Enoch Adejare Adeboye (born 2 March ) is a Nigerian pastor, and the present General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God. He served as the second national president of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria.

Although the founder left a sealed document pronouncing Enoch Adeboye as the succeeding General Overseer, his transition into office was not smooth but met with some resistance. With a childlike faith in the efficacy and power in the Word of God, his passion was to live a life of holiness and teach others to likewise live holy lives.

Of course the appointment as General Overseer immediately terminated all academic ambitions and Enoch Adeboye set his heart on taking RCCG to the next level of ministry.
