The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has once again shared his personal revelation regarding how he believes he will depart this life peacefully, on a Sunday, after attending church service and enjoying his favourite meal, pounded yam.
Speaking during the fourth day of RCCG’s ongoing International Convention themed “The Overcomers”, Pastor Adeboye stated that death does not always come through prolonged illness, asserting that his own passing will be sudden and free of pain.
“I will die on a Sunday after attending service, eat my beloved pounded yam, and then pass on without any sickness,” he said, addressing the congregation. He explained that he first revealed this vision two years ago, and chose to reiterate it to reassure believers that for those in Christ, death can be peaceful and victorious.
In a sermon titled “Possess Your Possessions”, Adeboye encouraged Christians to take spiritual responsibility and lay claim to their God-given blessings. He emphasized that while certain blessings are promised, they often require active spiritual engagement to fully obtain.
“Just like the Israelites had to fight for the Promised Land, you too may have to battle to take hold of what is already yours,” he said.
He identified areas such as healing, prosperity, fruitfulness, and longevity as blessings that believers must contend for in the face of spiritual opposition.
Quoting John 10:10, he said, “Your greatest friend, Jesus Christ, paid a great price for your healing. But the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Long life is your inheritance, yet the devil seeks to cut it short, you must fight to live.”
On the issue of wealth, Pastor Adeboye was firm: “The One who owns the earth, all silver and gold, paid a heavy price so you won’t remain poor. If you choose to stay poor, poverty will stay with you.”
He also decried societal criticisms of successful Christians, saying:
“When Christians prosper, they’re ridiculed. Yet if they die poor, people ask, ‘Where was their God?’”
Referencing the biblical stories of Rachel and Hannah, who overcame barrenness through fervent prayer, he urged Christians not to tolerate any form of spiritual bondage.
He concluded with the example of Jacob wrestling with the angel, encouraging believers to show spiritual persistence:
“Whatever you tolerate will dominate you. Stop tolerating sickness, poverty, barrenness, or premature death. Fight to possess your possessions, it is both your right and your responsibility, secured through Christ’s sacrifice.”
