Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, celebrated his 55th wedding anniversary with his wife on Thursday.
According to the 80-year-old cleric, his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, chose him over other wealthy suitors.
On Thursday, he said on his verified Facebook page that his wife stood by him and suffered with him when they had nothing.
“I was the poorest and the least known of all the men after her 55 years ago. But she left all those who were famous, well to do and she picked me.
“Thank God, God had made us a success and proven all the oppositions back then wrong. Here is to 55 more years of double love, double grace, double peace, double of heaven on earth.”
