'Before I was born again, I was a very rotten boy' – Pastor Adeboye MondayMotivation
Although there were signs even during childhood that God would use him, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God [RCCG] was not born a saint.
In an article he wrote to celebrate the 78th birthday of the respected cleric widely circulated on Monday, Daniel recalls Adeboye’s own account of his life as a ‘playboy’ before he became a born again Christian.Before I was born again, I was a very rotten boy. I had two things going for me that made it extremely easy to have girlfriends. I was a sportsman and I was also a photographer.
“You know the elders have a saying; they say the mouth of the old woman looks like she never sucked breast. Hmm, when you see Pastor Adeboye you think he was born a saint.“I had so many girlfriends that at a stage I didn’t even know the number. And for each girlfriend, there was a birthday. I had so many birthdays, one birthday for each girlfriend. I am just telling you this to let you know that God can pick one up from the pit of hell and make him or her His servant.
“The lady had a child that was born lame, so somebody told her if she took the child to a certain pastor he would pray for the child to walk. So she came to the mission house.
