Though Pastor Adeboye did not specify the exact nature of the tragedy, he described how the event left his spirit deeply troubled during what should have been a joyful season.
The Weight of New Year's Day
"There was a particular New Year's Day, years ago, when tragedy struck," Pastor Adeboye shared during a recent sermon. The man of God, known for his uplifting messages and fatherly wisdom, revealed that this painful memory still resonates with him today.
He described how the incident caused him immense spiritual distress, saying his "spirit was troubled" despite the celebrations happening around him.
