During a recent service, Pastor Adeboye, the revered pastor of Redeemed Christian Church, made an unexpected discovery. He revealed the incredible achievement of fasting for more than 40 days and nights when he was just 80 years old, at the age of 81.
During his talk, he disclosed to his congregation that a great deal of people had discouraged him regarding it. They had informed him that he was far too old to be fasting, possibly out of concern for potential health issues. They had even assured him that, should he choose not to fast, God would totally comprehend.
Still, Pastor Adeboye had not wavered in his resolve, motivated by a strong belief in the spiritual value of his fast. He had only intended to fast for ten days to test the waters, but he went above and beyond.
During this time, he disclosed that he had experienced leg trouble two years prior, which prompted him to choose an armchair for preaching and teaching. But in his most recent sermon, he stood proudly in front of the church, happily disclosing his full health.

Pastor Adeboye emphasized in his sermon that fasting is determined by spiritual goal rather than age. Regardless of age, he urged people to embrace fasting when it is spiritually required.
