The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adejare Adeboye has today, March 2, clocked 78.
Born in 1942 into a humble family in the village of Ifewara, Osun State located in the South-western part of Nigeria Enoch Adeboye often humorously states that his family was so poor that even the poor people called them poor.
As a matter of fact, he unashamedly tells his congregation that he never owned shoes until he was eighteen years of age. What he possessed though were physical intangibles such as focus, consistency, diligence, ambition, a brilliant mind and a determination to succeed in life.
The life of Enoch Adejare Adeboye is a fulfillment of the scriptures in Zechariah 4: 10 which declare, “despise not the days of small beginnings”. According to Newsweek, one of the 50 most powerful people in the world is the Pentecostal preacher and church planter, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye.
