General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has revealed how he believes his life will end, describing it as a peaceful and well-planned transition.

Speaking on Thursday, August 7, during the evening session of the 73rd Annual RCCG Convention at the Old Auditorium, Redemption City, along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, the 83-year-old cleric said his departure would come after a joyful Sunday service.

“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,” Adeboye told the congregation while leading prayers on the theme Possessing Your Possession.

The revered preacher urged members not to question how he knew the timing of his transition, stressing that death does not have to follow illness. He made the remarks while ministering on divine healing, alongside other prayer points on prosperity, fruitfulness, longevity, and victory over the forces of darkness.

Quoting 2 Corinthians 8:9, Adeboye maintained that prosperity is a covenant right for Christians, urging believers to reject poverty, which he described as a tool of the devil to hinder the spread of the gospel.

Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has shared how he narrowly escaped death seven years ago during a church evangelism program.

Speaking at the annual Special Holy Ghost Service themed “Joy Unspeakable,” Adeboye testified to God’s grace and mercy in his life. He revealed that he fell critically ill due to poor road conditions and, for the first time ever, had to spend Christmas Day bedridden.

His condition became so dire that he had to be airlifted from Ilesha to the church camp. However, local miscreants attempted to obstruct the helicopter’s departure, even damaging one of its windows in the process.

Despite the ordeal, Adeboye expressed deep gratitude to God for preserving his life and sustaining his ministry.

“Seven years ago, during this same program, my body completely broke down because of the terrible road conditions. I spent Christmas Day in bed for the first time in my life. The enemy thought he had won. I collapsed in Ilesha, and we had to charter a helicopter because I was too weak to travel by road—it would have been fatal.

“As we prepared for takeoff, some individuals clung to the helicopter, damaging one of the windows. But by God’s grace, I reached the camp safely. I was certain that if I could just make it to the camp, I would recover. And now, seven years later, I am still standing!

“I want you to thank God for preserving my life. Praise Him on my behalf—give Him all the glory, honor, and adoration!”
