Pastor Adeboye Issues a Grave Warning: “The Greatest Misfortune a Man Can Face”

During an ordination service held by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Brazil, Pastor E.A. Adeboye delivered a powerful message on the consequences of losing spiritual light once it has been attained.

Drawing from Proverbs 13:9, which states, “The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked will be put out,” Pastor Adeboye highlighted the worst fate that can befall anyone—losing spiritual enlightenment after having once experienced it.

Pastor Adeboye made a compelling comparison between physical and spiritual blindness. He explained that while someone born blind may not understand the absence of sight because they’ve never experienced light, losing vision after once having it is a far greater tragedy. He used the example of Stevie Wonder, the iconic musician who was born blind, recalling how Wonder once said he did not miss what he never had, as blackness was his only known reality.

Pastor Adeboye emphasized that the spiritual loss of light is far more devastating than physical blindness. He warned that those who have experienced spiritual light and then fall back into darkness face a much deeper and more profound loss.

Adeboye urged the congregation to hold onto their spiritual light and never let it fade, as losing it would have dire consequences both physically and spiritually.

His message was a call to remain steadfast in faith and vigilant in maintaining the spiritual light within.
