The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has disclosed how one of his three closest friends secretly hated him with passion and would have stopped him from becoming the leader of the church.

The pastor, who did not name the individual, made this known at the just-concluded Holy Ghost Congress held at the Redemption Camp, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State.

Adeboye made the revelation while speaking about deploying God’s anointing to overcome the three categories of enemies depicted in the Biblical story of David – lion, bear and Goliath.

He described the friend as a bear who would come close as a friend only to choke you with their fake huge.

He said, “It was way back in 1980, when one of the three was getting married. When I got there, the other friend welcomed me warmly and was doing everything to please me with drinks, food and other offers.

“But God spoke and I heard Him clearly. ‘He is your enemy!’

“I was shocked because I had exposed myself too much to that man.

“When we met later, I told my friends God’s message but the man denied being an enemy. That was in June, 1980.

“In December, we met again to discuss the church after the demise of the founder, and there the man bared his teeth: ‘From the day you came to this church I hated you.”
