Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God recounted how he collapsed during a church program seven years ago.
The clergyman while speaking at the ongoing annual Special Holy Ghost Service, themed Joy Unspeakable, shared the experience as a testimony of God’s faithfulness to him and the ministry.
According to the 83-year-old pastor, his body broke down during one of the church’s Let’s-Go-A-Fishing evangelism programs, due to terrible road conditions.
“Seven years ago, during this same program, I collapsed in Ilesha. My body gave way, and for the first time in my life, I spent Christmas Day in bed. The devil was certain he had finally got me.
“To bring me back to camp, we had to charter a helicopter because I was too weak to travel by road—if I had, I wouldn’t have made it,” he said.
He added that local miscreants attempted to prevent the helicopter from taking off.
“They clung to the helicopter, and in the process, one of the windows got torn. But by God’s grace, I made it to the camp. I was certain that if I could just get there, I would recover.
“Seven years later, I am still here! Please, praise God for me—give Him glory, honor, and adoration!”
Pastor Adeboye then focused on issuing divine decrees and urging believers to remain steadfast in their faith.
“This is my advice to you: do not sell your salvation. Stop living a double life—one way in church and another way outside. Be consistent in your faith,” he warned.
