Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), recently shared a moving personal story on YouTube to stress the significance of being spiritually prepared for Christ's return.
During a sermon, Pastor Adeboye shared a terrifying story from his time in America. Even after a mad dash around the house, he couldn't locate his wife when he woke up in the dead of night. He felt profound spiritual dread and anxiety as a result of this disturbing circumstance. Upon finishing this mad dash to find his wife, the Holy Spirit gently informed him that she would not be accompanying him on this journey.
The importance of maintaining spiritual vigilance and being ready for the Rapture was driven home to Pastor Adeboye by this encounter. He cautioned Christians against spiritual complacency through this personal narrative. To be ready for Christ's coming, he said, one must have a strong relationship with God.
The message of Pastor Adeboye was crystal clear: Christians should always be mentally and spiritually ready to meet Christ face to face. He reminded his listeners that the return of Christ might come at any moment and emphasized the importance of keeping watch.
Pastor Adeboye hoped to emphasize the importance of being spiritually prepared all the time by telling his tale. His life story was a powerful reminder of how uncertain life may be and how critical it is to be spiritually ready for Christ's coming. Believers must always be prepared to meet their Savior—this appeal to spiritual alertness strongly resonated and reinforced the core principle of Christian faith.
