My friend who graduated with pass is richer than me- Adeboye

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has narrated how he was struggling as a PhD holder to pay his house rent when his friend who graduated with pass is richer than him by building two giant houses with inspiration from God.

He disclosed this during the evening session of Day 5 of the RCCG 69th Annual Convention Tagged; ‘A New Wave of Glory.’

According to the cleric, against all odds, irrespective of all enemies against you, you will excel. Don’t abandon that project, It is going to turn out bigger and better than you think.

“He asked me to tell you a little story, you know I have not been telling stories tonight because it is a prophetic night.
When we were in the University in the 1960s, before many of you were born, I had a group of friends, and we were very close and you know young boys, we teased ourselves.

“We looked at the way we were performing, so we always said, “Who is most likely to succeed? Who is the least likely to be very successful?

” There was one of us, almost every year, he would fail a paper. So he would have to come back to do re-sit.

“Finally, he left with a degree, the kind we call, ‘let my people go.’ I am sure you know what I am talking about. You have First Class, Second Class Upper, up to Third Class.

“The people who are not in any class, those are the ones we used to call, ‘let my people go. Just give me something, let me go.’

“So, our friend left with ‘let my people go.’ People like me who went to do second degree, third degree, he was quietly teaching with his ‘let my people go.’

Then something happened. I had to do some work in the town, where he was staying and I stayed with him and his mother died. I said, “I had 5 pounds in my savings in Lagos and that was true, that was all I had with my PhD. I said, “I would withdraw and bring it to you.

“He laughed, he called me by my nickname. He said: ‘you are always kind. Let me tell you the truth, my problem is not money, it is how to spend it.’

Why? God gave him an inspiration. By the time I was getting PhD, he was using the inspiration God gave him. He had built 2 giant buildings when I was still struggling to pay my rent,” he said.
