The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye on Sunday replied critics who queried him for not stopping Pastor Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye from vying for the position of his forebears in Ogbomoso.
Adeboye speaking at Beulah Baptist Conference, Ogbomoso, venue of the interdenominational thanksgiving service for the new Soun of Ogbomoso said he knew pastor Ghandi was born to be a king.
According to him, when he came to me to inform me about the development I told him to go and pray. He came back and said he has not heard anything and I told him to go back and pray again and after a while he came back and told me, God has spoken I have heard him loud and clear that I should go, it was then that I told him to go because it has been destined. I knew that long ago but I wanted God to speak to him directly.”
“To my critics if I said No and God said Yes, whose word is the final. God of course. So, I cannot stop him because Pastor Ghandi was destined to be a king even before he was born and I thank God it is coming into fruition.”
While counseling the Monarch Pastor Adeboye who took his scripture from Acts 15:18, said the monarch should embrace people and promote peace and unity among his subjects.
After the sermon the Pastor Adeboye annointed the king and his wife and prayed for his peaceful and prosperous reign as the Soun of Ogbomoso.
While addressing the congregation, Oba Ghandi said, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is his spiritual role model.
“Pastor Adeboye has been a father to me. It is an unforgivable sin if you report me to pastor Adeboye. I dont like people reporting me to pastor Adeboye. We have gone to the whole world together. I have watched him closely and I see a genuine man of God”, Oba Ghandi said.
“I am happy today that the person who laid hands on me to become a pastor is the same who annointed me when I became King”, he added.
“To my people in Ogbomoso, let us work together, to develop this land and let’s make this land a place where our sons and daughters will be proud of. I believe its a new dawn for Ogbomoso”.
“I will be a king to the Christians, muslims and traditional rulers. I will be a king to every son and daughter of this land, that is my strength and I believe that God will give me his mercy to lead his people. I want everybody in this land to pray for me so that I would lead aright.”
Special prayers were also offered by President Nigerian Baptist Convention, Rev. Dr. Israel Akanji, Bishop Titus Olayinka, Archbishop Ayo Ladigbolu, and Pastor J.S Adegoke, among others.
