The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor EA Adeboye, has been honoured with a doctor of divinity by Oral Robert University based in Tulsa Oklahoma in the United States of America.
The institution bestowed the honour on Pastor Adeboye at a crowded ceremony on Saturday. The cleric was not physically present during the ceremony.
Adeboye posted news about the award on Sunday on Facebook and Instagram.
He wrote: “I recall that day in 1979, when I accompanied my father, Pa Josiah Akindayomi to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to attend Kenneth Hagin’s Camp Meeting; and, how the power of God moved mightily.
“If anyone had told me then that I would be awarded an honorary degree from one of the most prestigious universities there, Oral Roberts University @oralrobertsu, I would have said the person was joking. But, looking back and seeing what God has done so far, I can’t but just say, Thank You, Jesus!
“Extending my sincere appreciation to the leadership of the University. God bless you all”.
