to the saying that the bigger the head, the bigger the headache. This
readily formed the nucleus of Pastor Enoch Adeboye's sermon on
Thursday night at the ongoing 62nd annual convention of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, RCCG.
It was a deliverance service and almost one million people had
converged at the auditorium of the Redemption Camp for the event and
they were held spellbound when, their revered General Overseer, Pastor
Adeboye started to narrate a ministry-threatening experience he had to
the consternation of the crowd.
Preaching a sermon titled; 'The yoke-destroyer', the man of God
enumerated three different kinds of yoke that truncate one's dream of
nosy future to include; physical yoke, material yoke and spiritual
yoke, explaining that the Holy Spirit is the only yoke destroyer who
is able to destroy any form of yoke in any man's life. He further
challenged the congregation to be filled with the power of the Holy
Spirit and be agents of God who will be breaking yokes, noting that
there were certain forces or challenges of life that human beings
cannot solve by their own efforts except through the help of the Holy
Spirit.
Drawing inspirations from the Holy Bible, where many persons were said
to have undergone several life-threatening challenges, he narrated
that a high profile woman who was an executive of the West African
Examinations Council, WAEC, did everything to seduce him. According to
him, the woman came to him and announced to him that God had told her
that he would be her husband, and immediately he rebuked her, saying
"you know that I am happily married and have children." That didn't
deter the woman who continued to pester him, and even came to the camp
to threaten him, saying "if you stand on my way to marrying this man,
I will kill you."
Continuing, Pastor Adeboye took the matter to then Inspector General
of Police who immediately invited the woman and her husband to his
office and after a meeting banned the randy woman from entering the
Redemption Camp or ever making passes at the man of God. "But that
measure didn't stop her. I travelled to London without telling
anybody, to work on the church's devotional, Open Heaven. As soon as I
settled down in the room, the telephone rang and the voice at the
other end said: "welcome to London. I am coming in 15 minutes," the
cleric continued, wondering why his audience responded with a
laughter.
Continuing, he said he told the voice: "You don't know anything, you
know that the Police in London are very efficient and if you dare come
here, I will call the Police for you." There is a Police station a few
meters from where I am staying and she must have known that because
she didn't come but kept calling me.
"I cried to God Who told me 'You know of the scripture that says,
whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven.' Believe me honestly,
unless God helps, there are thongs you cannot handle on your own," he
stated, urging the large crowd to stand and pray with holy anger:
"Anyone hindering my progress, before this month is over, Holy Spirit
send down Your fire to consume them". And spontaneously, the huge
crowd of worshippers responded with over 15 minutes of violent
supplications to the Most High God.
