General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has revealed how he believes his earthly journey will end, telling worshippers that he will die peacefully on a Sunday after attending church.
The revered cleric made the remarks on Thursday evening while ministering at the Old Auditorium of Redemption City during the fourth day of the RCCG’s 73rd Annual Convention themed “The Overcomers.”
Speaking to millions of congregants present and joining virtually, Pastor Adeboye said:
“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 did not specify when this would happen but stressed that no one should question how he came to know the circumstances of his death.
The 82-year-old preacher made the declaration during a prayer session focused on “Possessing Your Possession,” where he taught that believers are not required to die only after an illness. Instead, he said, with divine healing and favor, death can come peacefully and in God’s time.
Adeboye led several prayers during the session, including petitions for divine healing, long life, fruitfulness, prosperity, and victory over the forces of darkness. Reading from 2 Corinthians 8:9, he encouraged members to embrace God’s promise of abundance, insisting that poverty is not a virtue but a tool the devil uses to hinder the spread of the gospel.
“Poverty is not a blessing. It’s a weapon of the enemy. Prosperity is your portion as a child of God,” he declared, urging Christians to reject lack in every form.
The week-long convention, which began on Monday at Redemption City, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, continues to attract worshippers from around the world.
