Pastor Adeboye recounts encounter with ‘demon-possessed’ woman claiming to be his wife

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has shared a shocking experience with a woman who persistently claimed that God told her he was her husband.

Speaking on Wednesday during the grand finale of the 2025 Special Victory Hour programme, Pastor Adeboye narrated how the woman, a senior official at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and a married mother, unexpectedly appeared in his office with the strange declaration.

“Several years ago, a woman just woke up one morning, came to my office, and said, ‘God has told me that you are my husband.’ I said, ‘How can God tell you that? I am a pastor, happily married.’ She herself was married, and from the look of things, she might even be older than me,” he recalled.

Despite attempts to dissuade her, the woman refused to back down and even went as far as threatening to kill his wife, Mrs. Folu Adeboye. Concerned about the situation, her husband was informed and brought in to help resolve the matter, but she remained adamant in her claims.

As the issue escalated, law enforcement had to be involved to handle the situation. Pastor Adeboye shared the experience as an example of the strange encounters he has faced in ministry.
