Adeboye Declared Vision Of A peaceful Death, Says “I Will Die On A Sunday After Church Service”
By The9jaTREND
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye says he already knows how he will leave this world — and it won’t be through sickness or pain.
Adeboye Declared boldly, “I will die on a Sunday after attending service, eat my beloved pounded yam, and then pass on without any sickness.”
He shared this personal vision while addressing thousands of worshippers on the fourth day of the church’s annual International Convention, themed “The Overcomers”. According to Adeboye, his passing will be sudden, serene, and a testament to a life lived in Christ.
He reminded believers that death doesn’t always come through prolonged illness — and that for those in Christ, it can be peaceful.
Adeboye first shared this vision two years ago. But this time, he said he was repeating it not to cause fear, but to offer reassurance: that the end, when it comes, can be beautiful.
Delivering a sermon titled “Possess Your Possessions”, he urged Christians to take hold of what belongs to them spiritually — but warned that claiming blessings often comes with battle.
“In many cases, you may have to fight for things that are already yours,” he said.
He emphasized that healing, prosperity, fruitfulness, and long life are part of God’s promises — but Christians must be spiritually alert to fight off opposition.
“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,” he warned. “Long life is yours, but the devil wants to kill you with all he has. You must fight to live.”
On prosperity, Adeboye delivered a powerful message:
“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 criticized how Christians are judged regardless of outcome.
“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 persistent faith, Adeboye urged the faithful to reject all forms of spiritual oppression and never tolerate what is not from God.
He concluded with a powerful charge, inspired by Jacob’s divine wrestling:
“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.”
