- The renowned clergyman narrated how a deadly combination of gruelling evangelism schedule and deplorable roads left him bedridden during the yuletide season seven years ago.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has recounted his near-death experience some years back.
The renowned clergy revealed how a brutal combination of gruelling evangelism schedule and deplorable roads left him bedridden during the yuletide season seven years ago.
Speaking at the annual Special Holy Ghost Service, themed “Joy Unspeakable”, Adeboye recalled how he collapsed in Ilesha, adding that he was paralysed due to the effect of bad road.
He disclosed that his ill-health made him spend Christmas in bed for the first time.
He narrated that after he broke down in Ilesha, he was airlifted to the camp for the program but some persons attempted to stop the helicopter from taking off, hence damaging one of the windows.
According to him, he was too weak to make the journey by road as he would have probably lost his life if he did so a chopper was chartered for him.
He said: “Seven years ago, during this same program, 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 Ilesha, 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”.
“Seven years later, I am still here! I want you to thank God for sparing my life”, Adeboye added after narrating the incident, urging the congregation to thank God for his life.
