Pastor Adeboye Explains how eating like a “Village Boy” Denied Him Scholarship to study abroad
Pastor E.A Adeboye was born in Osun state in the year 1942 and he spent enough time there for him to call himself ‘bred in the village.’
We can have plans for ourselves which is very good and necessary but God’s plans are always the best. It takes the mercy of God for him to cancel our own plans and give us better plans when we are glued to what we want to do.
God positions us rightly where he wants us to be and it may not be open to us at first the reason we are where we are but as long as we stick to God, we will definitely accomplish his plans for our lives which are of good and not of evil to give us an expected end.
There are some opportunities that we may lose and think that life has ended but God may actually be the one keeping us from regrets and saving us from getting something lesser than what he truly desires for us.
If pastor Adeboye had grown up in the city, may be he would have had some more dining etiquettes that would have made him pass the dining test when he wanted scholarship to study abroad but the fact that he dipped his bread inside his stew and stuffed it in his mouth as a ‘village boy’ him lose the eligibility.
This table manners cost him that position and made him stay put in Nigeria to be a lecturer but he didn’t know that God was actually keeping him for a greater purpose. It was after this rejection that he got to know about the RCCG which he is the General Overseer today and he can travel anywhere he wants as he even owns a private jet.
Disappointments can be turned to blessings as long as we are with God. Do you dip your bread in tea?
