“I’ll die on a Sunday, after worship and eating pounded yam”- Pastor Adeboye Reaffirms Peaceful Death Vision

• Speaking on the fourth day of the RCCG International Convention themed “The Overcomers,” Adeboye said he anticipates a sudden, illness-free passing.

• He explained that he first revealed this vision two years ago to assure Christians that death can be peaceful for true believers.

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has once again shared his vision of a peaceful death, expressing his belief that he will pass away on a Sunday, after church service and a meal of pounded yam.

Speaking on the fourth day of the RCCG International Convention themed “The Overcomers,” Adeboye said he anticipates a sudden, illness-free passing. He explained that he first revealed this vision two years ago to assure Christians that death can be peaceful for true believers.

“I will die on a Sunday after attending service, eat my beloved pounded yam, and then pass on without any sickness,” he said.

While preaching a sermon titled “Possess Your Possessions,” Pastor Enoch Adeboye encouraged Christians to actively claim the blessings available to them in Christ—such as healing, prosperity, and long life.

He emphasized that although these are spiritual inheritances, they often require prayer, faith, and spiritual effort to fully access and enjoy.

“In many cases, you may have to fight for things that are already yours,” he said, drawing from the biblical story of the Israelites and the Promised Land.

He explained that even though Jesus paid the price for healing and prosperity, believers must resist spiritual opposition.

Quoting John 10:10, he said, “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.”

On wealth, he said, “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.”

Adeboye also criticised society’s attitude towards successful Christians, saying, “If you make it as a Christian, they criticise you. If you die poor, they say, ‘Where’s your God?’”

Using examples like Rachel and Hannah, who overcame barrenness through persistent prayer, he encouraged believers not to accept sickness, poverty, or premature death.

“It is what we tolerate that disturbs us. Stop tolerating sickness, poverty, barrenness, or premature death. Fight to possess your possessions,” he said.
