Temptation comes to all — even good men. it is rampant but how you handle it matters a lot. This humble down-to-earth pastor wasn't exempted.
Speaking at the church recent convention, RCCG General Overseer, Pastor E.A Adeboye revealed to his congregation a time when a female executive at the West African Examinations Council, WAEC, stalked him, followed him all the way to London where she tried to seduce him. He said;
"She said that God told her that I will be her husband. I rebuked and informed her that I am a happily married man with children. Undeterred even by the intervention of her husband and the Inspector General of Police (at that time), she stalked me to London. My threat to report her to London Police (when she phoned me) stopped her physical presence but she never stopped calling me.”
Pastor Adeboye shared the story to explain to the congregation the different kinds of temptation one can face, physical, material and spiritual and that he was not left out. He said you can triumph over any difficulties by calling on the holy spirit
"Holy Spirit is the only yoke destroyer. There are certain forces or challenges of life that human beings cannot solve by their own efforts except through the help of the Holy Spirit.”
All of us succumb to a little temptation now and then, but some people are sooooo... damn blessed with more self-control than others...Are you any good at resisting temptation?
