Many are still wondering why a man who has frowned against lavished and wasteful lifestyle for many years will suddenly endorse flamboyance.
This was the puzzle Pastor Adeboye sent down the spines of many when they initially heard his statement that he is richer than Bill Gates.
The situation indeed left many of his followers lost.
The Octopus News (www.theoctopusnews.com) can however reveal that there is more than meets the eye in what Pastor Adeboye said while teaching worshippers in the mission during the church’s 63rd Annual Convention on Saturday shortly before the Holy Communion Service.
Pastor Adeboye is quoted as saying that if Bill Gates needs shoes, he would have to go to the market to buy them, but that if he should announce that he needs shoes at the Redemption Camp, where the convention took place, the auditorium might not contain the shoes people would donate to him.
His words: “I have houses in at least 188 countries of the world, where we have our churches, so I am richer than Bill Gates. Each time I visit these countries, my children would be struggling and saying ‘daddy, come and stay with me.
If I announce here that tomorrow morning, I need a car to travel to the new auditorium, how many cars do you think would be made available to me by you my children? Those of you that do not have a car of your own, very soon, God will give you your own cars. So, I am appealing to you to become an incurable soul winner before you leave this convention ground and your cup will overflow,” he said.
This deep statement had been unraveled and interpreted not based on its surface meaning, but a deeper one.
Pastor Adeboye was merely teaching his congregation the positive implication behind the act of loving and sharing, we have learnt.
