In a recent service, Pastor Adeboye, the esteemed leader of the Redeemed Christian Church, shared a surprising revelation about his extraordinary achievement of fasting for over 40 days and nights at the age of 80, extending into his 81st year.
Despite encountering discouragement from many who expressed concerns about his age and potential health issues, Pastor Adeboye remained steadfast in his decision to embark on this extended fast.
He addressed his congregation, acknowledging the advice he received, with some suggesting that God would understand if he chose not to fast.
Contrary to the expectations and concerns raised by others, Pastor Adeboye, originally planning a ten-day fast, surpassed his initial goal. He disclosed that he had faced leg issues two years prior, leading him to use an armchair for preaching and teaching.
However, in his recent sermon, he proudly stood before the congregation, declaring his restored health.
Pastor Adeboye emphasized the importance of understanding that fasting is driven by spiritual objectives rather than age.
Despite his advanced age, he urged individuals to embrace fasting when it aligns with spiritual needs, highlighting the belief in its spiritual significance.
