Pastor E A Adeboye Speaks On Being Called "Daddy"

Pastor E A Adeboye of RCCG Once said this:

“When I became General Overseer in 1981, people began to call me Daddy, and I was very uncomfortable with that title, I was only thirty nine years old and in those days, the popular thing is to call ourselves brothers and sisters; everybody is a bro or a sis. But when I wanted to complain, God spoke to me; he said a brother can wish you well, it is only a father who can bless and then the blessing will stick.

Today I am seventy years old, I think am old enough to be called Daddy and the first thing I want to do tonight, is that I want to give a father’s blessings to all those who call me daddy. So whether you are here or you are watching anywhere in the world; either by television, by internet or radio, if you regard me as your daddy, stand on your feet and let your amen be loud and clear.

My father and my God, the father of all fathers, thank you that at last, I can stand boldly as a father to all these your children and it is in your name that I am blessing them tonight. Every one of you who regard me as your daddy, you shall be blessed.

My God will take you higher than your dreams in Jesus name, because my God will fight for you, you will enjoy victory without a fight, because My God will promote you; you will enjoy success without a sweat.

Because my God is the controller of heaven and earth; I decree from this moment, all the powers in heaven, will come to your assistance.

The resources of the earth will flow into you, beginning from this moment; helpers will seek you out to help you. Because my father in heaven will build a shield over you; destroyers will never come near your home again, because my God is the great provider; your hands will never be empty again, as there is water in the ocean, your anointing will never run dry.

As long as morning follows the night; you will enjoy the mercies of the Almighty God. My Father in heaven the one who is the God that is more than enough, will from now on see to it that your joy will overflow.

Beginning from tonight, when you knock one door, seven will be open unto you. Any obstacles that the enemy may want to put in your way will become stepping stone to glory in Jesus name. Wherever you turn; you will find favor with God and favor with men and your children will be greater than you.

The Almighty God that I serve will answer all your prayers from now on. So shall it be in Jesus mighty name of Jesus I pray.

Daddy says because you blessed them from the bottom of your heart, He said I have sealed it in”
