Church Times Nigeria reported that Adeboye drew from the biblical account of Isaac blessing his sons, Jacob and Esau, to highlight the power of a father’s blessing.
He explained that although Esau received the lesser blessing, he became so prosperous that he had 400 bodyguards when he reunited with Jacob years later.
Adeboye stated, “If the one who got the least blessing from his father was that blessed, how much more Jacob, who was the first person his father blessed.” He emphasised that a father’s blessing was irreversible and assured the congregation that he was blessing them as their spiritual father.
The power of “God Bless You”
Adeboye also shared a personal testimony from earlier in the year, which he said revealed the power of simply saying, “God bless you.”
He recounted how, during one of his night prayer walks, he encountered a woman with her child by the roadside, hoping for money from passers-by. Adeboye explained that he had no money with him but offered the words, “God bless you.” The woman responded with “amen.”
Continuing his walk, Adeboye said a man approached him at the gate with his first fruit offering. He collected the envelope, prayed for the man, and later discovered it contained thousands of naira.
Adeboye narrated, “God told me your prayer for that woman is already answered,” adding that he was instructed to give the money to her. He returned to the roadside and handed the envelope to the woman.
He recalled, “The woman took the envelope and looked at it. What she saw in that envelope, she knew she wouldn’t beg again. She screamed and was weeping, shouting ‘Jesu oooo,’ meaning ‘Oh Jesus.’ I too was saying, ‘Oh Jesus.’ For the first time, I saw the power in ‘God bless you.’”
Adeboye concluded by urging his listeners to always respond with “amen” when they hear the words “God bless you.” He reiterated that no prayer was greater than the three-word phrase, which he described as the most powerful request anyone could make.
