Enoch Adeboye is a famous Nigerian pastor who rose to national and
eventually international prominence upon being appointed as the General
Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). Hitherto unknown to
the public at large, he began his journey to fame at RCCG where he
initially translated the sermons of its then Pastor and founder, Rev.
Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi, from Yoruba into English. With his undying
devotion towards the Lord and his commitment towards helping the common
man understand the nuances of Christianity, he helped to expand the
church which now has branches in over a hundred countries. Prior to his
involvement with the church he had been a lecturer in mathematics at the
universities of Lagos and Ilorin. Even though he had always known that
God existed in heaven, it was not until he was a young man that he
actually realized the truth about God. He had a revelation in 1973 and
received the Lord Jesus as his personal Lord and Saviour. Since then he
has dedicated his life fully to the service of God. As a born-again
Christian he realized that the purpose of his life was to spread the
teachings of Christianity and thus he eventually gave up his prestigious
university position to become a full-time preacher.
He got married to Pastor Foluke Adenike Adeboye in the early 1970s, with whom he has 4 children.
