The general overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has said that those who think men of God are super human, should have a rethink.
He recently told his church members that he was vulnerable to fear, including other human weaknesses.
Ministering at the November monthly Holy Ghost Service with the theme "Great Expectations" Pastor Adeboye revealed he was gripped with the fear of death during one of his trips overseas.
In his words; "Contrary to what many of you think, i am human and have my fears too. There were times i have had cause to fear and doubt because i am human but God always ended up disappointing my fears and doubts."
"In one of my trips with the then Nigeria Airways, the pilot had announced when we were already airborne, that there were indications that the plane would crash-land. Immediately the pilot made the announcement, i was afraid and as if that was not enough, he said there were expert fire fighters who would put out the fire when the plane crashes."
He noted that there are some things that will happen to people that will make them to be really afraid, "annointing or no annointing".
"When God gave me that assurance that we will not die, that He only wanted to have a conversation with me, i felt relaxed and as God would have it, the Lord took charge of the plane and we landed safely."
He remembered a similar situation;
"In another of my travels, the pilot had announced that there would be a lot of storm at the arrival terminal going by the weather report. The implication is that there will be trouble while landing."
"When i heard the announcement, i knew God was in charge. I took the little meal they served because i ride economy; but the man that sat beside me could not eat. I asked why he was not eating and he replied; So you understand English. Didn't you hear what the pilot just said, that there will be a lot of storm at landing because of bad weather. I said i heard. He was confused thinking what kind of human being is this? But he insisted he was not going to eat. So i offered to help with his food since i was still hungry and he freely gave me his food."
"I ate the food and slept off. God took charge. By the time we were about to land, the pilot announced the the weather forecast was wrong. We got down safely. I looked at the face of the man sitting beside me and he looked at me and laughed. But then, the Lord told me that the weather forecast was not wrong, that He was the one who diverted the storm."
