Pastor Enoch Adajare Adeboye the Senior Pastor and General Overseer of the Redeem Christian church of God is known by everyone to be a very humble person.
This Pastor, honestly to the core allowed the spirit of humility to cloth him about and people have hailed this great virtue in his life and ministry.
However, the pastor has narrated one of his encounter with God that made him to be so humble before God and also before man
The Cleric explained “Something happened after Lekki 98; one of the biggest programs that we ever had. The whole of Lagos was paralyzed because of the program.
“People walked kilometers to the venue and back. Fortunately, the program was also transmitted by radio, so those who couldn’t get there listened to it on their radio. It was a fantastic program!
“After the program, I returned to the Redemption Camp and soon proceeded on a prayer walk to thank God: “God I bless Your Holy name, what a wonderful thing, etc.”
“It was between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. when He spoke. I heard him say clearly, “Son, bend down.” I did that quickly because, you know, I was in the jungle. You never can tell; a witch could have been flying past.
“And then he said, ‘Draw the figure of a man in the sand.’
“I drew the figure of a man: zero for the head, one line for the body and two lines for the leg, and so on. You know that kind of drawing.
God said, ‘Stand up.’
“I did, but by then I was afraid because I knew something serious was happening.
He said, ‘Wipe out the figure you have drawn with your leg.’
“I wiped it out. “And He said, ‘Son, if you ever forget who your boss is, I will wipe you out and nobody will even remember you came to the world.
That was what He told me. So, I smile when I hear people say, ‘He’s a very humble man. How can a man be so successful and be so humble?” Do you think I want to be wiped out? As they say in Nigeria, “You think say I dey craze? Me I no dey craze at all o.” When you allow pride to creep into your life, you know what you are asking for? “To be wiped out.’” Adeboye partly said.
God has warned him that if he ever forgets his boss (that is God is his creator and the one over everything the pastor is doing) he will be wiped out to the extent that no one will ever know that he came to the world.
The pastor even makes a joke that “he no dey joke craze at all o” like some use to say in Nigeria that he doesn’t want to be wiped out by God.
Pastor Adeboye latter stressed that if anyone allows pride to creep into their life, it indirectly telling God that such person wants to be “wipeout”
He said all this in one of the Church Congress a few years ago.
