The Moment We Became Born Again, I Dumped All My Expensive Gold Jewelry In The Lagoon” — Pastor Foluke Adeboye Reveals
In a powerful and deeply symbolic revelation, Foluke Adeboye, wife of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has shared a personal story about her journey of faith and total surrender to God.
Speaking during a recent church program, she recounted the life-changing moment she and her husband, Enoch Adejare Adeboye, gave their lives to Christ and embraced a new spiritual path—one that required letting go of material attachments.
According to Pastor Foluke Adeboye, immediately after becoming born again, she made a radical decision to part ways with her collection of expensive gold jewelry. In a dramatic act of commitment, she revealed that she threw all her prized possessions into a lagoon, symbolizing her complete break from worldly vanity and her dedication to a Christ-centered life.
She explained that, at the time, wearing such jewelry conflicted with her newfound beliefs and conviction about modesty and holiness. The decision, though difficult, marked a turning point in her spiritual journey and set the tone for a life of simplicity and service in ministry.
Her testimony has since sparked mixed reactions online. While many believers have praised her unwavering faith and sacrifice as a true example of spiritual discipline, others have questioned the necessity of such an extreme act, arguing that faith should not always demand material loss.
Despite the differing opinions, the message remains clear: for Pastor Adeboye, her transformation was not just spiritual but practical—requiring visible actions that aligned with her inner convictions.
Today, the Adeboyes are widely respected figures in global Christianity, with RCCG growing into one of the largest Pentecostal movements in the world. Her story serves as a reminder of the personal sacrifices and decisions that often shape the journeys of influential religious leaders.
