General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has declared that believers can live free from sickness, insisting that death does not have to be preceded by illness. He coupled this declaration with a personal testimony of how he envisions his own passing, drawing both laughter and reflection from worshippers at the church’s ongoing convention.
“I know people have asked, if you are never sick again, how are you going to die? Who told you you have to be sick to die?” Adeboye asked the congregation. “When your day comes, you just leave and go.”
The 83-year-old cleric went on to describe how he believes his final moments on earth will unfold. “I’m sure I’ve told you how I will go. If the Lord tarries, it’s going to be on a Sunday. I will go to church, have a wonderful service, come back home, eat pounded yam, and go,” he said, smiling as the audience responded with murmurs of agreement and amusement.
Challenging the congregation to embrace divine health, Adeboye declared, “Let me hear somebody say loud and clear, ‘I will never be sick again.’” He stressed that healing is not only possible but guaranteed for those who believe, citing biblical examples to strengthen his point.
Referencing Mark 2:1–2, Adeboye recounted the story of a paralyzed man brought to Jesus by friends who refused to be deterred by obstacles. “There was no room at the door to pass through, no room by the windows,” he said. “These people decided to get violent. They climbed the roof, broke the roof, and lowered their friend at the feet of Jesus.”
With a hint of humor, he added, “By the way, do you know that nobody told us who repaired the roof?” The crowd laughed as Adeboye pointed out that the man, once paralyzed, walked out carrying the mat that had once carried him.
Concluding his message, the RCCG leader pronounced a blessing over those present. “I stand before you tonight to decree: every one of you who came here sick, you will go back home healed,” he declared to loud applause and shouts of “Amen.
