The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has shared how he nearly lost his life seven years ago during an evangelism program due to poor road conditions.
Speaking at the annual Special Holy Ghost Service, themed “Joy Unspeakable,” on Friday, Adeboye recalled that his health deteriorated so severely that, for the first time, he was forced to spend Christmas Day of that year on sick bed.
He recounted falling sick in Ilesa, Osun State and being too weak to travel by road. As a result, a helicopter was chartered to airlift him to the RCCG camp on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway but miscreants attempted to prevent its takeoff, even damaging one of the windows in the process.
He said: “Seven years ago, during this same programme, my body broke down completely due to the terrible road conditions. For the first time in my life, I spent Christmas Day in bed.
“The devil was certain he had finally got me. I collapsed in Ilessa, and to bring me back to the camp, we had to charter a helicopter. I was too weak to travel by road—if I had, I would not have made it.
“They clung to the helicopter, and in the process, one of the windows got torn. But by God’s grace, I managed to reach the camp. I had an assurance that if only I could get to the camp, I would recover.
“Seven years later, I am still here! I want you to thank God for sparing my life. Please, praise Him for me—give Him glory, honor, and adoration!”
