I used to be a playboy in the past- Pastor Adeboye

Adeboye Adeboye

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye revealed that he used to be a playboy in the past before he encountered Jesus Christ.

This was contained in an article by Bisi Daniel, a journalist, and author of a book, titled, ‘Stories of Pastor E.A Adeboye.



Daniel recalls Adeboye’s own account of his life as a ‘playboy’ before he became a born again Christian.

Adeboye had, as reported by Daniel said,

"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. I’m yet to meet a lady who can say no when you say you want to snap her; I haven’t met one, particularly if you have the right kind of language.

“Things like “Ahh, whoa! What am I looking at? Where has this sun been hidden? I have never seen this sunshine before. Do you mind if I record you?”



“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.

“No, no, no, Thank God for His power to change.

“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."
