Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the revered General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), openly predicted how and when he believes his death will occur.
Speaking during the evening session of the 73rd Annual Convention of RCCG, themed “The Overcomers”, at the Old Auditorium in Redemption City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the 82-year-old cleric revealed that he foresees his passing taking place on a Sunday, shortly after attending church.
Without giving a specific date, Pastor Adeboye painted a serene picture of his final moments, saying he would attend a lively Sunday service, return home, enjoy a plate of pounded yam, and then pass away peacefully.
He firmly told the thousands in attendance not to question how he came to this revelation, stressing that death is not always preceded by illness and that the most important preparation is spiritual readiness.
