The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye, revealed that he knew for a long time that the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, was destined to be a king even before he was born.

The cleric while speaking at the Beulah Baptist Conference, Ogbomoso, venue of interdenominational thanksgiving services for the new Soun of Ogbomoso on Sunday, stated that he knew that Olaoye was born to become a king.

Pastor Adeboye said, “I knew Olaoye was born to be king. When he (Olaoye) came to me to inform me about the development I told him to go and pray.

“He came back and said he had not heard anything. I told him to go back and pray again, and after a while, he came back and told me, ‘God has spoken. I have heard him loud and clear that I should go ahead.

“It was then that I told him to go ahead because it had been destined. I knew that long ago but I wanted God to speak to him directly.

“To my critics, if I said no and God said yes, whose word is the final? God, of course. So, I cannot stop him because Pastor Olaoye was destined to be a king even before he was born and thank God it is coming to fruition.”

The monarch, Olaoye while speaking, said that Adeboye is his spiritual father and promised to rule the people with love, despite their religion.

“I will be the king to the Christians, Muslims, and traditional rulers. I will be a king to every son and daughter of this land,” he said.

That is my strength, and I believe that God will give me his mercy to lead his people. I want everybody in this land to pray for me so that I would live aright.”
