Adeboye Reveals Vision of Peaceful Passing After Sunday Service and Pounded Yam

By Admin

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has once again shared his vision of how he believes he will pass away—peacefully, on a Sunday, after attending church and enjoying his favourite meal, pounded yam.

Speaking on the fourth day of RCCG’s ongoing International Convention themed “The Overcomers,” Pastor Adeboye emphasized that death does not necessarily come through a prolonged illness.

“I will die on a Sunday after attending service, eat my beloved pounded yam, and then pass on without any sickness,” Pastor Adeboye declared, stating his belief that his transition would be sudden and painless.

“Fight for Your Divine Rights”: Adeboye Charges Christians

In a sermon titled “Possess Your Possessions,” the revered pastor urged Christians to actively claim what belongs to them through Christ.

Referencing the Israelites who had to fight to take possession of the Promised Land, he stated: “In many cases, you may have to fight for things that are already yours.”

He emphasized areas where believers must not allow spiritual opposition—such as healing, prosperity, fruitfulness, and longevity:

“Your greatest friend, Jesus Christ, paid a great price to purchase your healing,” he said. “Yet, there is a thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10), he added, urging the faithful to resist sickness through faith.

On the subject of prosperity, Pastor Adeboye asserted: “The One who owns the earth and its fullness, and owns all the silver and gold, paid a terrible price so that you wouldn’t be poor. As long as you want to remain poor, you will remain poor.”

He also addressed criticisms often directed at wealthy Christians: “If you make it as a Christian, they criticise you. If you die poor, they say, ‘Where’s your God?’”

On longevity, he affirmed: “Long life is yours. But the devil wants to kill you with all he has. You must fight to live.”

He further emphasized God’s promise of fruitfulness, referencing the biblical stories of Rachel and Hannah, who overcame barrenness through relentless prayer and determination.

“We must not remain under the power of the forces of darkness. How can I be a child of God and still be tormented?” he asked, encouraging believers to reject all forms of spiritual oppression.

Citing Jacob’s struggle with an angel in Genesis 32 as a model for spiritual perseverance, Pastor Adeboye concluded:
“It is what we tolerate that disturbs us. Stop tolerating sickness, poverty, barrenness, or premature death. Fight to possess your possessions—it’s your spiritual duty, made possible by Christ’s sacrifice.”
