He explained that he had an experience in the sport, and that hard work is the secret to the success of any boxer.

Adeboye said, as per The Punch:

“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.”

“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.”

The RCCG holds its Thanks Giving Service every first Sunday of the month where worshippers across the country and globe tune in to watch the G.O’s sermon.
