Adeboye recalled receiving a Mercedes-Benz from an elderly woman while he was still travelling by bus.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has revealed how he managed valuable gifts during the early years of his ministry.
He revealed this during a church thanksgiving service.
Adeboye recalled receiving a Mercedes-Benz from an elderly woman while he was still travelling by bus.
Unsure of what to do, he left the car unused for some time. He said that a dream later reminded him that refusing the gift was stopping the woman’s blessing from coming to life.
Following this guidance, he gave the car to his late deputy, Pastor Abiodun, who advised him to enjoy the gift. Pastor Adeboye chose to pass it on instead.
Later, he received three more Mercedes-Benz cars, which left him surprised.
One night, a man came to his house at 2:00 AM with a rare six-door Mercedes limousine, saying it was sent by God.
Pastor Adeboye prayed and felt he could sell the car.
He sold it and used the money to buy motorcycles for his pastors, showing how he redirected luxury gifts to serve others.
He stated: “I almost said, ‘Alakoba wo le leyi?’ I hope this one is not trying to get me into trouble.
“Why are you robbing my daughter of her blessing? She sowed a seed, and you are not allowing the seed to germinate.
“Even if I die and they put me in this car, I will wake up. Will you permit me to sell the car?
“I remember I sold it and used the money to buy motorcycles for my pastors.”
