The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has once again spoken about a vision he has of how his life will end 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”, Adeboye told the congregation that death is not always the result of illness and that his departure would be sudden, painless, and without suffering. He first shared this vision two years ago and said he was repeating it to reassure Christians that those in Christ can die in peace.
Delivering a sermon titled “Possess Your Possessions”, the 82-year-old cleric stressed the need for believers to claim what is rightfully theirs in Christ, warning that spiritual blessings often require persistence and battle. Citing the story of the Israelites taking the Promised Land, he said healing, prosperity, fruitfulness, and long life are promises of God that must be defended against spiritual opposition.
Quoting John 10:10, he reminded the audience that “your greatest friend, Jesus Christ, paid a great price to purchase your healing. Yet there is a thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Long life is yours, but the devil wants to kill you with all he has. You must fight to live.”
Adeboye also addressed the issue of wealth, noting that while God has provided abundance for His people, society often criticises Christians who succeed financially: “If you make it as a Christian, they criticise you. If you die poor, they say, ‘Where’s your God?’”
Referencing biblical women like Rachel and Hannah, who overcame barrenness through determined prayer, he urged believers to reject all forms of spiritual oppression. Concluding with the story of Jacob wrestling with an angel, Adeboye charged Christians to refuse to tolerate sickness, poverty, barrenness, or premature death, declaring: “Fight to possess your possessions, it’s your spiritual duty, made possible by Christ’s sacrifice.”
