Responding, the cleric in a video on his verified Instagram and Facebook handles said that an award from such a prestigious university is an act of God, adding that he never believed he could be honoured by such a globally recognised institution.
“I recall that day in 1979, when I accompanied my father, Pa Josiah Akindayomi to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to attend Kenneth Hagin’s Camp Meeting; and how the power of God moved mightily.
“If anyone had told me then that I would be awarded an honorary degree from one of the most prestigious universities there, Oral Roberts University. I would have said the person was joking. But, looking back and seeing what God has done so far, I can’t but just say, Thank You, Jesus!
“Extending my sincere appreciation to the leadership of the University. God bless you all,” Pst Adeboye said.
