Pastor Adeboye reveals day he is going to die

By Kazeem Ugbodaga

In a poignant moment during the 73rd Annual Convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), General Overseer Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye shared a vivid vision of his eventual passing, describing a serene departure on a Sunday after a church service.

Speaking on Day 4 of the week-long convention, themed “The Overcomers,” at the Old Auditorium in Redemption City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the 83-year-old cleric told millions of congregants that he would attend church, dance joyfully, enjoy a meal of pounded yam, and then peacefully “go.”

“It’s going to be on a Sunday. I would go to Church for service, dance very well and return home. I will eat pounded yam, then I will go”, he said leading members of the Church on series of prayers on the topic ” Possessing your Possession.”

He did not specify a date, emphasizing that believers should not question how he received this revelation.

Adeboye’s message, delivered during a sermon titled “Possessing Your Possession,” focused on divine healing, prosperity, fruitfulness, long life, and combating spiritual darkness.

Citing 2 Corinthians 8:9, he urged Christians to reject poverty as a tool of the devil that hinders the gospel’s spread, declaring prosperity a divine right. “It’s not compulsory to die after illness,” he said, encouraging believers to claim healing and other blessings paid for by Christ.

His sermon resonated deeply, with posts on X capturing congregants’ admiration for his faith, one noting, “Daddy GO’s vision of a joyful exit inspires us to live fully for God.”

The convention, running from August 4 to 10, has drawn thousands to Redemption City, with highlights including the birth of 50 babies and the ordination of 15,831 new ministers.

Adeboye also endorsed gospel singer Gaise Baba’s remix of “No Turning Back,” sparking widespread online buzz.
