`I Thought It Was A Joke`: How Woman’s Playful Prayer At Pastor Adeboye`s Birthday Birthed Triplets
Published on Sun 09 Aug 2026 By Favour Rejoice
A routine prayer request made "in jest" has culminated in a miraculous multi-birth testimony at the ongoing Annual Convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Ogun State. A worshipper from the church`s Region 12 left the congregation spellbound during the Friday Holy Ghost Service when she narrated how a playful request during the 83rd birthday celebrations of the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, resulted in the birth of triplets. According to her, during the birthday events last year, the congregation was instructed to ask God for any desire. Inspired by the General Overseer`s age, she made a casual request based on a mathematical coincidence. “Last year when Daddy GO, Pastor Adeboye, was celebrating his 83rd birthday, they asked us to request from God whatever we wanted," she told the massive crowd. “So I jokingly said, ‘Daddy GO is celebrating 83 years, so I want the ‘three’ on it.’ I asked God for triplets.” The playful petition quickly turned into a surprising reality when she conceived. Initial medical scans indicated she was carrying twins. However, a subsequent scan in her seventh month revealed a third baby. Stunned by the news, she underwent four separate scans across different facilities just to confirm the unexpected reality. However, the joy of delivery was met with a terrifying medical crisis shortly after birth. One of the newborns began bleeding heavily from the mouth and nose. In a moment of desperation, the mother used her scarf to pray, challenging the "God of Adeboye" and making a daring vow. "I said, ‘God of Adeboye, this was not what I requested for. It was just a joke.’ I then vowed not to worship God if one of those triplets died, but if they survived, I would bring them to the altar for testimony," she recounted. The health crisis was averted, and the children fully recovered. To the roaring applause of the congregation, the proud mother introduced the healthy triplets—named Destiny, Desmond, and Diamond—at the altar, confirming their survival as a divine seal on a request that started as a joke. The testimony remains one of the major highlights of this year`s convention, which has drawn millions of worshippers from across the globe to the Redemption City.
