The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Sunday revealed his experience as a boxer while young.
He spoke during his message, ‘Meant for the top’, during the church’s monthly thanksgiving service monitored by our correspondent.
The cleric, while urging the congregation to get closer to God and keep working hard to get to the top, said it took a lot to become a champion judging from his experience as a boxer.
The cleric said, “I used to be a boxer. And, one of the things you learn as a boxer is that it takes a lot before you become a champion.”
Adeboye also noted that after becoming a champion, the work was just starting, adding that there would be so many people who wanted to take the position away from the champion, hence, the need to work harder than even the challengers.
“The moment you become a champion; you discover that you have just started the work.
“The champion works harder than the challenger because there are many people who want to take your position,” Adeboye said.
