While addressing thousands of Christian faithfuls during 2022 Christmas on Sunday, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has opened up on not having shoes for 18 years.
Adeboye recalled that while growing up, his parents were so poor.
Speaking about how things would change for the better for people who have accepted Christ, the RCCG general overseer used himself as an example.
He illustrated how God can change the poor into the rich.
“Those of you who knew a little bit about my background, you know that when they say something is from a rocky start, that means he started in serious poverty.
“My own rock was rock among rocks. My father was so poor (that) poor people called him poor. The day he bought an umbrella, we were rejoicing.
“The elders have a saying: if there is hardship in the life of the husband and hardship in the life of the wife, the hardship will rub off on the children,” he said.
