I had many partners before salvation
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Pastor Adeboye made a big revelation as he ordained over 24,000 ministers into the ministry. During the ceremony, 10,806 deacons and deaconesses and 4,726 assistant pastors were also ordained.
At the convention of the church in August, the 79-year-old cleric revealed while preaching on sanctification that he had several girlfriends before he gave his life to Jesus Christ.
The cleric said:
“I told you that before I gave my life to Jesus Christ, I had many, many girlfriends. But among all of them, there was one that I did everything with, and I won’t tell you the details."'
