Pastor E. A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God shared a story of how Satan Tortured him when he realised he was no longer hearing from God in a sermon he titled, “For Whom The Heavens Open – Part 39” at RCCG Online Sunday Service.
He said, “One of the blessings I have enjoyed as a young Christian was the ability to hear from God. Oh, I will be going to Church on Sunday morning, before I get to Church God will tell me who will be the preacher, what he will be preaching on, the Bible passages he will use, I knew the sermon before I got to Church – that was my relationship with him.”
“But after I began arrogant, God kept quiet. I’m telling you, it wasn’t long before the devil realized that I wasn’t hearing from God anymore and he tortured me. I prayed, I fasted, I cried to God and God was silent. Until one day I said in desperation, “Father, begin to speak to me again and if I am going to offend you again tomorrow, take me away today.” God knew then that he got me. God knew that I was willing to do to myself what they did to Achan and he began to speak to me from then and he is still speaking today.
Finally, he prayed, “I am praying for you that if you had been on speaking terms with God and you had strayed and he is no longer talking to you, I pray that the Almighty God will help you do whatever you need to do so he can restore you to speaking terms with him in Jesus’ name!”
