…Narrates How He Lived First 18 Years Without Shoes
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has shared more about his humble beginning as he explained that he came from an extremely poor background.
He explained that his parents were extremely poor to the extent that the day his father bought an umbrella, they were all rejoicing.
In a sermon aired on his Facebook page, the respected clergyman said while growing up, he had no shoes for the first 18 years of his life.
“Some of you who know a little bit about my background, you know when they talk about people coming from a rocky background, that means from a background of hardship. My own rocky background was a rock among the rocks. My father was so poor, (that) poor people called him poor. The elders have a saying when there is a hardship for the husband, and hardship for the wife, there must be a hardship for the children.
“The hardship rubbed off on me. For the first 18 years of my life, I had no shoes. My father was so poor. The day he bought an umbrella, we were rejoicing, but look at me today, look at what Jesus can do, He can change the poor to the rich; change the unknown to the known,” the globally renowned man of God concluded.
