Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has described how he almost missed death during a church service seven years ago.
According to reports, Adeboye told the incident at the annual Special Holy Ghost Service, themed “Joy Unspeakable,” and ascribed his survival to God’s favor.
Pastor Adeboye, who turned 83 recently, described how he became severely ill at one of the church’s annual “Let’s Go A-Fishing” evangelism activities in Ilesha and was unable to return to the camp by road.

The cleric thanked God for preserving his life.
He stated, “Seven years ago, during this identical program, my body absolutely broke down owing to the horrible road conditions. For the first time in my life, I spent Christmas day in bed. The devil was convinced he had finally caught me. I collapsed at Ilesha, so we had to rent a helicopter to get me back to the camp. I was too weak to travel by road; otherwise, I would not have survived.
“However, as I was ready to be flown, local miscreants (area lads) attempted to stop the helicopter from taking off.
“They clung on the chopper, causing one of the glass to tear. But, by God’s grace, I made it to camp. I was confident that if I could only go to the camp, I would recover. I’m still here, seven years later! I want you to thank God for saving my life. Praise Him for me—give Him glory, honor, and devotion!”
