Pastor Adeboye Reaffirms Own Peaceful Death Prophecy

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has once again spoken about a personal vision concerning how he believes he will eventually pass on—peacefully, on a Sunday, after attending church service and eating his beloved meal, pounded yam.

Pastor Adeboye shared this while preaching on the fourth day of the RCCG’s ongoing Annual Convention themed “The Overcomers.” He emphasized that death does not always come through prolonged illness, recalling that he had first made this revelation two years ago.

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

Delivering a sermon titled “Possess Your Possessions,” the revered cleric called on believers to actively claim what belongs to them in Christ, drawing from the biblical story of the Israelites who had to fight to possess the Promised Land.

“In many cases, you may have to fight for things that are already yours,” he said.

He listed key areas where Christians must not fold their arms—healing, prosperity, fruitfulness, and long life—urging the faithful to resist spiritual opposition.

On healing, he stated:

“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,” referencing John 10:10.

Addressing poverty, Pastor Adeboye declared:

“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 double standards directed at prosperous Christians:

“If you make it as a Christian, they criticise you. If you die poor, they say, ‘Where’s your God?’”

On longevity, he maintained:

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

The RCCG leader also emphasized God’s command for fruitfulness, citing biblical figures like Rachel and Hannah who overcame barrenness through faith and perseverance.

“We must not remain under the power of the forces of darkness. How can I be a child of God and still be tormented?”

Using the example of Jacob wrestling with an angel (Genesis 32), Pastor Adeboye challenged believers to reject all forms of spiritual oppression.

“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,” he concluded.

The ongoing RCCG Convention continues to attract thousands of worshippers from across the globe and is expected to round off with a thanksgiving service later this week.
