the Mantle falls
As Rev. Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi grew old, the issue of his successor crept up. But before he passed on to glory on November 2, 1980, at the age of 71, he had left a clear statement about who the Lord had chosen to succeed him. Pastor E.A. Adeboye was the choice. He and his wife began to desperately cry to God to let the cup pass over him. But in January 1981, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye became the new leader of the church.
Pastor E.A. Adeboye’s delivery of the gospel is unique. Points follow one another in a logical sequence, as if he is proving a mathematical theory. He is also a giant in prayer and worship. He spends hours with the God whose messages he bears daily. As a Pastor, strict discipline and unusual hard work strike a balance in his caring heart.
Mummy G.O. Pastor Folu Adeboye, wife of the General Overseer is a strong and efficient planner, that complements the efforts of her husband. She is endowed with immense initiative, and great capacity for hard work. Her attributes have helped the G.O. to obey God’s command to be great.
Spectacular Expansion
The church started to witness miraculous expansion under Pastor E.A. Adeboye as prophesied by the founder Pa Akindayomi.
