According to the woman, she attended a church service the previous day because she believed she was scheduled to be ordained there.

However, she returned the following day after concluding that the previous venue was not the right place for her ordination. She insisted that she was meant to receive the ordination at the new venue, in the presence of Pastor Adeboye.

Rather than dismissing her, Adeboye initially allowed her to approach, repeatedly instructing those around him to let her through. He listened to her explanation before stepping in to offer a prayer on her behalf.

Pastor Adeboye's response to woman trends

After hearing her out, Adeboye prayed for the woman, committing her to God and asking for divine intervention in her affairs.

He then told her plainly that when it comes to matters of ordination, he must first hear from God, and that no letter had been given to him regarding her case.

"Your time will come. Go home," he told her, before asking the congregation to shout "Hallelujah."

Adeboye then used the moment as a teaching point, reminding worshippers that the kingdom of God is taken by force, and encouraging each person to go to God directly, tell Him their problem, and ask for the miracle they still need.
