Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, shared a remarkable and unsettling experience during the grand finale of the 2025 Special Victory Hour program. His account involved a woman who claimed a divine message had designated him as her husband.
The woman, a senior official at the West African Examinations Council and a married mother, arrived at Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s office one day with this startling declaration. She insisted that God had revealed this to her, a claim that deeply perplexed the pastor.
Pastor Adeboye recounted his initial reaction, questioning how such a message could be attributed to God, given his role as a pastor and his happy marriage. He also noted that the woman herself was married and appeared to be older than him.
Despite his attempts to reason with her, the woman remained steadfast in her conviction. Her persistence took a darker turn when she issued a threat to kill Pastor Adeboye’s wife, Mrs. Folu Adeboye. This alarming development prompted further action.
Concerned for his family’s safety, Pastor Enoch Adeboye involved the woman’s husband in an attempt to resolve the situation. However, even this intervention proved unsuccessful, as the woman refused to recant her claim.
The situation escalated significantly, ultimately requiring the involvement of law enforcement. The authorities were called in to address the increasingly serious nature of the woman’s claims and threats.
Pastor Adeboye’s story serves as a reminder of the complex and sometimes unsettling experiences that religious leaders can encounter. It highlights the importance of faith, reason, and appropriate intervention when dealing with extraordinary claims and potentially dangerous situations.
