talks about the retirement of the most respected and
powerful clergyman, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye,
General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church
of God. Even during his 70th birthday, some certain
authorities in the church, we learnt, gathered to raise a
motion that the man of God should be retired as he
clocked 70.
In on of the articles written by the man of God, it was
discovered that he has already written about the kind of
retirement he wants. In this literary work, he well
explained how he intends to retire.
The article culled from the Open Heavens annual
publication of Monday October 3rd, 2011, Daddy
Adeboye, as he's fondly called wrote about `The True
Face of Retirement. He said God has so much to give to
man, and the spirit man has so much space to be filled
by God…..``Sometimes, when I see some of our elders
retiring, I shake my head because contrary to what they
think, it is only the beginning for them. Retirement
actually means more time to pray all night since you are
not going to the office in the morning.
The greatest literally work done by John the Beloved
was Book of Revelation-a revelation he got while
banished on the Island of Patmos. If God allows me to
retire, I would sit at His feet daily and learn from Him,
receive revelations and pour these into books for
generations unborn. This way, by His grace, I could
produce a book every month until he calls me home.''
Obviously, this should tell those who clamour for his
retirement that the respected man of God whose regime
as the G.O brought goodness to the church cannot be
retired by any man but God.
It's so evident that even when God has permitted him to
retire; he will still be involved in the work of God,
publishing revelations from God to the members of the
church and other denominations. 'Would sit at His feet',
of course, the only place a man can sit at the feet of
Christ is in the vineyard, so, it should be understood that
until God says come home, Pa Adeboye remains the
General Overseer of one of the biggest congregation
churches in the world.
