Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has recently shared an experience he had with Angels in heaven.

He shared this encounter while addressing the church at a recent mission in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates for a ‘Festival of Life’, the church’s Holy Ghost Service version for the overseers.

While addressing the overseer present, Pastor Adeboye revealed how he was translated to heaven in a vision that reform his mindset about holiness in 1976.

Quoting him, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A Adeboye said, “We went to a conference of Pentecostals in Kenya. All the big names in Pentecostalism gathered in Kenya. I wasn’t invited, but I got the information, and I went because I was hungry for God.”

“So, I was there. Towards the end, we had a closing program called meditation. Somebody was playing the guitar, singing songs and the rest of us were praying in the spirit. It was an awesome period. I was praying, and all of a sudden, I was transported to heaven.”

“It was a clear vision as they would call it because I wasn’t sleeping. I found myself in a huge room like a dome, very huge. There was someone far away, sitting on the throne. Very far away; very difficult to describe.”

“There were angels on both sides: on my right were angels; huge things. Millions of them on my right, millions of them on my left. And they are not white, and it’s just that there are no words to describe them. The closest I can get to describing them is when you put clear water in crystal glass. We don’t have the word for describing that type of colour.”

“It was like I was rooted to a spot. When I turned to the right, the angels moved back; when I turn to the left, the angels moved back. And I saw someone far away on the throne there. Nobody said a word. All of a sudden, it occurred to me to take a look at myself. And I saw myself naked; completely naked, covered with all kinds of rubbish as if you have just pulled out somebody out of the sewage system.”

“With that, I understood why the angels were moving away. Nobody said a word, and suddenly the vision vanished. And I said to the Almighty God when I would be returning to that throne room; I wouldn’t come dirty.”

“That is the reason I preach about holiness in all my sermons.”

So the desire in him was the essential for holiness that in the early years of his leadership of the church, he ultimately rejected advice to abandon holiness and righteousness for prosperity messages.
