Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye, the highly respected wife of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has shared a chilling real-life experience of how divine intervention protected her family from tragedy on New Year’s Day.

During a recent church service, the beloved matriarch — affectionately known as Mummy G.O. — told members how a simple act of spiritual sensitivity saved them from consuming poisoned food that could have claimed lives. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

A Suspicious Gift Arrives on New Year’s Day

According to her narration, the unsettling event took place on January 1st, when family, friends, and well-wishers had gathered at the Adeboye residence to celebrate the beginning of the year. Amidst the joyful atmosphere, a food package was delivered to their home as a New Year’s gift.

At first glance, nothing seemed out of place. But as soon as Pastor Folu Adeboye stepped into the kitchen and saw the food, she said her spirit became deeply unsettled.

“Someone brought food to our home that day. The moment I saw it, something in my spirit was disturbed. I couldn’t explain it, but I felt a strong warning within me that something was not right,” she recalled.

A Divine Nudge and a Life-Saving Decision

Trusting that inner voice, Pastor Folu immediately instructed the kitchen staff not to serve the food to anyone present. Instead, she asked that it be given to their dog — an action inspired by what she described as the Holy Spirit’s warning.

Within a short time, her fears were confirmed.

“About an hour later, our gateman came to inform me that the dog had died. That was when I realized that it was truly poisoned,” she said, visibly emotional as she recounted the narrow escape.

“It Could Have Been a Major Tragedy” – Pastor Folu Adeboye

Reflecting on the incident, Mummy G.O. expressed profound gratitude to God for the gift of discernment and divine guidance that saved her family from disaster.

“It could have been a major tragedy if anyone had eaten that food. God’s warning came just in time, and we are forever thankful,” she stated.

She urged believers never to ignore divine promptings, emphasizing that the voice of the Holy Spirit often comes as a quiet nudge or inner caution that must be taken seriously.

“When God warns you in your spirit, do not ignore it. Always listen and obey. It may look ordinary, but it could save your life,” she advised.

A Call to Spiritual Sensitivity

Pastor Folu Adeboye’s testimony serves as a powerful reminder to Christians everywhere about the importance of spiritual awareness and the reality of divine protection.

In a world filled with unseen dangers, she emphasized that believers must stay connected to God, maintain a prayerful life, and pay attention to the subtle ways He communicates warnings and guidance.

Her story has since sparked reactions among church members and online audiences, many expressing awe at how divine intervention averted what could have been a national tragedy for the Adeboye family.

The experience of Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye is not just a story of danger averted — it’s a lesson in obedience, faith, and the necessity of spiritual sensitivity in everyday life. As she rightly noted, “We must always listen to God’s voice, no matter how ordinary the situation seems. That inner warning can save lives.”
