The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, made a startling revelation of an extraordinary experience with a ‘demon-possessed’ woman who persistently claimed that God had told her he was her husband.
Speaking on Wednesday during the grand finale of the 2025 Special Victory Hour programme of the church, the revered cleric recounted how the woman, a senior official at the West African Examinations Council and a married mother, suddenly appeared in his office one day with an unusual declaration.
“Several years ago, a woman just woke up one morning, came to my office, and said, ‘God has told me that you are my husband.’ I said, ‘How can God tell you that? I am a pastor, happily married.’ She herself was married, and from the look of things, she might even be older than me,” Pastor Adeboye recalled.
Despite efforts to reason with her, the woman remained adamant, even threatening to kill his wife, Mrs. Folu Adeboye. Alarmed by her persistence, her husband was involved with the hopes of resolving the matter. However, she refused to back down. The situation escalated to the point where law enforcement was involved.
“We sent for her husband, but she didn’t change. We brought the matter to the police DPO, and they told her to stop coming to the camp. She said, ‘You are joking.’ She told my wife, ‘If you don’t allow me to marry him, I will kill you.’ This was not a joke—demons have been around for a long time,” he explained.
The bizarre ordeal took an even more unsettling turn when the woman tracked and stalked him to London, where he had travelled discreetly to work on a Sunday School pamphlet.
“Then one day I went to London to prepare our Sunday school pamphlet. I told nobody I was coming. Nobody knew I wanted to do the work quietly, that’s why I went.
“As soon as I got into the house in London, the phone rang. When I picked up, she said, ‘Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you. I will be with you in the next few minutes, I’m at the next bus stop.”
Shocked at how she managed to locate him, Pastor Adeboye sought divine intervention.
“I had to threaten her with the police, and unlike Nigeria, the police there cannot be settled. Then I turned to the Almighty God and asked, ‘What is this?’ God said, ‘As long as you allow the mountain to stay, the mountain will stay.’ So I prayed a simple prayer. I don’t know how it happened, but they brought her body back to Nigeria,” he concluded.
Pastor Adeboye’s testimony serves as a chilling reminder of the spiritual battles that exist beyond the physical realm.
