The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has shared a personal vision of how he believes his life will end, saying he will pass away peacefully on a Sunday after attending church service and enjoying his favourite meal of pounded yam.
The 83-year-old cleric, born on March 2, 1942, made the declaration during the fourth day of the church’s ongoing international convention themed “The Overcomers.” He reaffirmed a statement he first made two years ago, stressing that his departure would be sudden, painless, and without illness.
“I will die on a Sunday after attending service, eat my beloved pounded yam, and then pass on without any sickness,” Pastor Adeboye said, underscoring his belief that death does not always follow prolonged infirmity.
Shifting focus to his message titled “Possess Your Possessions,” Adeboye urged Christians to take an active stance in claiming what God has promised them, drawing on the biblical example of the Israelites fighting to occupy Canaan.
“In many cases, you may have to fight for things that are already yours,” he said. “Your greatest friend, Jesus Christ, paid a great price to purchase your healing, wealth, and long life, yet the thief still comes to steal, kill, and destroy. As long as you accept poverty, you will remain poor.”
He encouraged believers to stop tolerating sickness, barrenness, and premature death, warning that whatever is tolerated will persist. Referencing Jacob’s wrestling with the angel in Genesis 32, he urged persistence in prayer and faith until change comes.
The week-long RCCG Annual Convention at the Redemption Camp concludes tomorrow with a special Thanksgiving service.
