Pastor Adeboye in a video shared on his Instagram page, expressed joy at being awarded ‘Doctor of Divinity for his distinguished service in spiritual leadership.
Adeboye said he never expected that he would receive such an award from a “prestigious” university.
Sharing a clip from the ceremony on his Instagram page, Adeboye wrote, “I recall that day in 1979 when I accompanied my father: Pa Josiah Akindayomi to Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend Kenneth Haggins 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.
“My sincere appreciation to the leadership of the university, God bless you.”
