“As I Told Him I Was The New General Overseer, He Drove Me Away” Pastor Adeboye Shares His Story In OH

Keep your friends closer, and keep your enemies closer is a popular saying that keeps manifesting in our everyday lives. If you are a Redeemer(A member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God) then you know of the glorious daily book called the Open Heavens( called OH in the headline). The Open Heavens daily journal was first released in 2000 and has gone on to become the one of the most sold book in Nigeria.

Everyday, Pastor EA Adeboye through the Open Heavens encourage Christians worldwide and give them a message to hold on for the day, he also shares beautiful stories and testimonies that have influenced people’s life and today, he shared a rather personal story that I will be sharing with you today.

The Topic of today’s message was Wolf’s In Sheep’s Clothing, an adage that refers to someone dangerous hiding in form of an innocent person, an enemy who is pretending to be your friend. He talked about how Christians should be careful with who they work with and that many of the people we think that are close to us, are actually against us, even our family at times. 

He then went on to share a sad story of how his friend shocked and betrayed him. According to him, he had just been appointed the role of General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and he seriously needed someone close to him to confide in and naybe take advice from.

After meeting the person and telling him the good news, the person drive him away. He told Pastor EA Adeboye to leave his house and that he never liked him from the first day the both of them met. Pastor Adeboye saw this guy as a really close friend and was disappointed when the guy told him all of this. 

He went on further to emphasise on top scrutinizing of the people close to us, he also made references to several Bible stories. If you have not gotten the Open Heavens manual for this year, it’s honestly not too late. You still have sixty days of blessings awaiting you and even though it might be a little bit unreasonable to buy it now, you could download it online. It is really helpful and sets the tone of the day, thank you and happy new month.
