During his talk to his congregation, he disclosed that many individuals had discouraged him about it. They had warned him that he was far too elderly to be fasting, potentially for fear of developing a health problem.
Pastor Adeboye, the revered pastor of Redeemed Christian Church, made an unexpected discovery at a recent sermon. He reported the incredible achievement of fasting for almost 40 days and nights when he was only 80 years old at the age of 81.
During his talk to his congregation, he disclosed that many individuals had discouraged him about it. They had warned him that he was far too elderly to be fasting, potentially for fear of developing a health problem.
They had even told him that if he opted not to fast, God would entirely understand.
Pastor Adeboye, on the other hand, had remained steadfast, propelled by a genuine conviction about the spiritual value of his fast.
He had intended to fast for only 10 days and see how it went, but he outlasted his initial plan.
During this time, he claimed that he suffered from leg problems, prompting him to switch to an armchair for teaching and preaching two years ago.
However, in his most recent sermon, he proudly displayed his restored health, standing erect in front of the congregation.
Pastor Adeboye emphasised in his message that fasting is not limited by age but rather by spiritual intent. He encouraged believers of all ages to fast when they felt spiritually impelled to do so.
