Lagos, Nigeria — August 8, 2025 — The air at the Redemption City auditorium fell into a thoughtful hush as Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), once again shared the deeply personal vision of how he believes his earthly journey will end.
Speaking during the fourth day of the church’s ongoing International Convention, themed “The Overcomers”, Adeboye said his passing will be neither tragic nor prolonged — but peaceful, sudden, and without illness.
“I will die on a Sunday, after attending service. I will eat my beloved pounded yam, and then go — without sickness,” he declared, his voice steady, almost conversational.
The respected cleric, affectionately called Daddy G.O. by millions of followers, said this was not the first time he had shared this vision — he first revealed it two years ago — and felt led to repeat it to remind believers that death, for those in Christ, need not be fearful or painful.
Delivering a sermon titled “Possess Your Possessions”, Adeboye challenged Christians to lay hold of all that Christ has secured for them, warning that spiritual blessings often require determined pursuit.
“Your greatest friend, Jesus Christ, paid a great price for your healing, your long life, your prosperity. But there is a thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. You must fight to keep what is yours,” he urged, referencing John 10:10.
Drawing parallels with the biblical Israelites claiming the Promised Land, he told the congregation:
“In many cases, you may have to fight for things that are already yours.”
He listed healing, fruitfulness, long life, and financial abundance as blessings that Christians must actively protect from spiritual opposition. Using examples from Rachel and Hannah in the Bible, he encouraged persistence in prayer against barrenness and other life challenges.
Adeboye ended his message with the story of Jacob wrestling with an angel — a call to spiritual resilience:
“It is what we tolerate that disturbs us. Stop tolerating sickness, poverty, barrenness, or premature death. Fight to possess your possessions.”
The moment was not one of gloom, but of quiet confidence — a man certain of his walk with God, unafraid to speak of life’s final chapter.
