The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, aka Daddy GO, recently shared a personal testimony about his son’s rise to success in America.
Adeboye, who shared how God responded to his request for a house, revealed that his son initially took up a job at a restaurant after relocating abroad but later became successful by owning an establishment.

The cleric revealed his son had invited him over to bless the restaurant.
According to Adeboye, after praying over the business, it began to experience significant growth.
The highlight was when Adeboye revealed that his son eventually hired his former employer as a manager in the same business.
“I have a son in the USA. When he got there, he started working at a restaurant, and after some time, he got a restaurant of his own. He then invited me to bless the place. I went there and prayed for him, and he began to prosper. He needed a manager, and the man who was once his boss became the one he later employed,” he said
Adeboye concluded the story with a decree that those who left others behind will come serve under them, a prayer that also sparked reactions.
It was, however, unclear if the cleric was referring to his biological son or spiritual son.

Adeboye's recent church visit sparks debate
Legit.ng previously reported that a video of Pastor Adeboye at a thanksgiving service in Ogun state stirred reactions online.
The clip showed him walking to the pulpit with support from his son, Leke Adeboye, at Abraham Tabernacle in Sagamu during the April 6, 2026, event.
The moment that drew attention was when he appeared to bow slightly, which many linked to honouring the church’s tradition, while he later described Otunba Gbenga Daniel as an exceptional politician.
