The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has recounted how he sold a luxury Mercedes limousine during the early days of his ministry and used the proceeds to purchase motorcycles for pastors under his supervision.<\/p>\n
Adeboye shared the testimony while speaking at a thanksgiving service of the church, reflecting on how he handled costly gifts at a time when he had little personal comfort.<\/p>\n
According to him, the experience began when an elderly woman unexpectedly presented him with a Mercedes Benz while he was still commuting by public transport.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was shocked and wondered if the gift might bring trouble,\u201d he said, adding that he initially parked the vehicle and refused to make use of it.<\/p>\n
He explained that he later received a divine warning in a dream, rebuking him for rejecting the woman\u2019s act of generosity and denying her the blessing attached to her sacrifice.<\/p>\n
Following the warning, Adeboye said he decided to give the car to his late deputy, Pastor Abiodun, despite advice to keep and enjoy it himself.<\/p>\n
He noted that the gifts did not stop there, as he subsequently received three additional Mercedes Benz vehicles, which left him uncertain about what to do next.<\/p>\n
Adeboye further revealed that matters escalated when a man arrived at his residence in the early hours of the morning with a rare six-door Mercedes limousine, claiming he was instructed by God to deliver it immediately.<\/p>\n
He said he prayed for guidance and sought divine permission to dispose of the luxury vehicle, as he felt no personal attachment to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter praying, I sold the limousine and used the money to buy motorcycles for my pastors,\u201d he said, explaining that the decision was driven by the need to support pastoral work and mobility.<\/p>\n
The cleric concluded that the experience taught him lessons about obedience, sacrifice and the purpose of material blessings in ministry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
