Pastor Enoch Adeboye Pastor Enoch Adeboye

General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has narrated how he struggled as a young man to find his feet in the 50s.

Sharing his experience on the social media platform, Instagram, the popular clergyman said he was living with his uncle in 1956 and it was a time when they had to share everything together because there was barely enough to go round.

Read post below:

I think it was in 1956, I was living with my uncle who was poor but I was poorer. If he had anything, we shared and when there is nothing, there is nothing. There was this day we were very hungry and there was no way food could come at all. Suddenly, a young girl came and said, “My sister said I should give you this pounded yam, vegetable, and chicken.” My uncle said “I don’t know your sister. Are you sure”? The girl insisted so we took the food and my uncle said he would look for a gift to give her some other time and she left.

As soon as she left, we descended on the pounded yam and as soon as we finished it, the girl came back and said the food was not for him. I decree to you today, the miracle you don’t deserve, the Lord will send it to you this week.
