Pastor Adeboye is 79: Another good reason why I am writing about this
Perhaps, one of the most compelling reasons why I am writing about this today is because, in the year 2001, I began a new life when I gave my life to Jesus Christ under the ministration of this great man of God at the annual Holy Ghost services.
I can still remember the simple prayers he said over me and others who came out to surrender our lives to Jesus Christ on that memorable day. I strongly believe the prayers are still working for me, my life, and my ministry today.
My foundational training
I am also writing about Pastor Adeboye is 79 because immediately after I gave my life to Jesus Christ, I began to get really serious about going to church and I joined the convert teaching class in my local parish. I moved through those exciting levels of training at the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Those trainings were so good that they helped to steady me in the body of Christ.
God bless your new age Pastor Adeboye
My prayers for you Pastor Adeboye at 79 is that you will live to see more fruitful years because as you always say, you have not achieved anything yet; there are still more works to do..
