O had their court wedding on September 8, This was followed by the church wedding on December 17, They just celebrated their fiftieth year anniversary. While delivering his sermon, Pastor Adeboye took some time to appreciate and honour his wife.
I was the poorest among those lurking around the girl I married. One was a lawyer who had a car; I had nothing. But I told the girl that if you marry me, whatever I am, wherever I ever become will be yours. It clearly worked out for Mrs Folu. The couple is blessed with three sons, a daughter and grandchildren. Their children are all Pastors. She is quite romantic: Mrs Folu is seen as a pastor, mother, role model which makes it hard for most to imagine her as the romantic type.
This side was on full display at a recent book presentation on Tuesday, August 15, Everyone was pleasantly surprised when Mrs Folu hugged and kissed her husband.
She carries herself with grace and simplicity and is always careful to return all praise to her Maker and Creator. Investment in education Her passion for education is immense. After her training at the prestigious United Missionary College UMC founded by the combined Methodist and Anglican missions to produce a core of dedicated and well-trained teachers for the nation, she has chosen to serve in the education sector. It is believed that she may have indeed chosen to be married to her husband because of her preference for a teacher as a life partner.
She persistently followed on her vision to found educational institutions which would produce men and women of character and faith for service in the country and beyond. This was the genesis of the pre-primary, primary, secondary, and tertiary educational institutions in Nigeria and abroad which she inspired and established. It was only a miracle that helped her join her husband at the monthly programme.
Her contribution as a teacher is proverbial. Always eager to have everyone acquire knowledge and be liberated, she makes sacrifice just to build institutions that would ensure a future of promise and hope for children, younger adult, and adult population. Mummy G. O inspired the establishment of educational institutions: primary, secondary, and tertiary; and specialised colleges and academies, including one which is established at Ifewara, the home of the husband.
In addition to founding educational institutions, Pastor Folu Adeboye awards scholarships to indigent students and sponsors children of ministers who are unable to support their children. She has a Foundation which deliberately looks for sex workers and drug pushers and who are invited to accept the Gospel and turn around their lives to more positive living.
She helps her husband run the School of Disciples programme and she is ever excited by the graduation ceremonies of the School of Disciples held in different towns and cities throughout the world. Pastor Mrs Adeboye continues to develop herself in all the fields of education and has earned certificates in education in higher education institutions in the United States and Europe.
Home building Her marriage to Pastor Adeboye was ordained and she is always delighted to declare that the union of both of them was built in heaven and operationalised on earth. Indeed, the love story of Pastor Folu Adeboye is both fascinating and stimulating.
Adeboye was a prodigy of Mathematics and it is reported that he had spent part of his vacation from the UNN to teach the young Folu Mathematics, possibly to impress the young lady with his natural talents, academic endowments, and skills and to let her see what she could miss by saying No to his proposal for marriage later in life.
It is certainly by no means a mere coincidence that September 8, the day of their marriage is also the International Literacy, the day chosen by the United Nations to celebrate the importance of literacy for development.
Evangelism The passion for evangelism and the provision of development for African nations led her to introduce the Africa Mission programme in which she takes the Gospel and vocational skills and development to parts of Africa. It is interesting to note that she and the husband responded to the Altar call and surrendered their lives to the Lord Jesus on the same day in Ebute Metta. It has been through her influence that women have been ordained Pastors in the Church.
Pastor Folu Adeboye has keyed into the vision of her husband in establishing the Holy Ghost service, the Divine Encounter and Shiloh programmes. She is always with her husband on his missionary journeys to all parts of the world sharing with him the challenge of long-distance travels, the frequent weather changes, and other inconveniences for the sake of the Gospel.
In ministrations all over the world she is always a major player. On her own she has founded the Feast of Esther in which she brings together women leaders in the Church, wives of General Overseers and her spiritual associates into programmes reminiscent of Queen Esther who found favour with her husband and thereby delivered her people from the destruction planned by the enemy.
Hospitality During the Holy Ghost Congress, and the Annual Conventions of the RCCG when the Church hosts the world, Pastor Folu Adeboye is in her best form as hostess, ensuring that the feeding peculiarities of the various guests across the world are respected and taken into consideration. She is blessed with three sons, Adeolu, Leke, Dare, and a daughter, Bolu, who are all Pastors and happily married with children.
Foluke Adeboye is a dutiful wife, a devoted mother and grandmother, a tireless evangelist, spiritual mother to millions of people all over the world, including prominent religious leaders like Bishop Francis Wale Oke, Bishop David Oyedepo, Reverend Joe Olaiya, Reverend Moses Aransiola and Pastor Uzodinma Obed, among several others, and a hospitable and seasoned teacher with passion for excellence at all levels of education.
She is an embodiment of so many virtues that have positively impacted the entire life and ministry of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
