    EXCLUSIVE: Adeboye speaks openly about son’s death at last, says it’s a knockout blow

    General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye has explained that the shocking demise of his son, Oluwadamilare Adeboye is like a knockout blow to him.

    Recall that TheNewsGuru.com, TNG had exclusively reported that Pastor Dare died in Akwa Ibom on Tuesday without any known medical challenges.

    How Pastor Adeboye's look alike son, Dare died

    The revered pastor who spoke extensively on Monday about Dare’s death said despite how much God revealed past and present happenings around the world to him, He (God) deliberately kept Dare’s impending death from him. He said he had no inkling whatsoever that he (Dare) was going to die considering how well he handled all the assignments given to him.

    “Without any doubt this is a big blow, a very heavy blow. As a former boxer I can tell you that the boxer never sees the blow that knocks him down. My son’s death caught me unawares. God never revealed it to me that is why it was so unexpected and devastating,” Adeboye said.

    The clergy further stated that when he inquired from God after his son’s passing, God told him if he (Adeboye) had a fore knowledge of Dare’s death, he (Adeboye) would have stopped Him (God) from taking him (Dare) away.

     

    My son died the way I would love to die, peacefully

    Pastor Adeboye further stated that despite how painful Dare’s early exit was, he (Adeboye) took consolation in the fact that he (Dare) died peacefully while doing the Lord’s work. He said when he finishes his earthly assignment, he (Adeboye) would love to depart this world in a peaceful manner his son did.

    “Dare died the way I would want to die. He (Dare) had been busy organizing a very successful youth convention in Akwa Ibom after which he told people around him that he wants to go and rest and that nobody should disturb him. He slept and never woke up”.

     

    This a very hard exam for me

    The well respected General Overseer did not however fail to emphasize how difficult processing the death of his son was. He said it was a difficult exam but God must have scored him high because of how calm he took it.

    TNG reports that the cleric whom many thought would be grieving shocked the world on Thursday when he ministered virtually to millions of the church’s congregation in his usual calm and collected manner. His wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye did same on Friday during the monthly Holy Ghost Congress.

    “Death has surprised me. This is a very hard exam. I believe I have passed this tough exam before God. The greater the exam, the greater the reward. In March God spoke to me about a New season, about promotion, and that there will be rewards. The Higher you go, the harder the exams and greater are the rewards. This has been a very hard exam. This was a knockout blow. When I was a boxer, my coach taught me that when a blow knocks you down and you hit the floor; you shouldn’t rush to get up immediately; that you should let the referee count at least till 8; use that time to analyze what happened, which is what I have done since Dare’s passing.

    Torrents of tributes, condolences from all over the world

    As expected condolence messages have been pouring in for the cleric all over the world. President Muhammadu Buhari; Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (an ordained pastor of RCCG) and majority of the 36 governors have either visited the cleric or sent a condolence message.

    Religious bodies, Christian and Muslim clerics including the Sultan of Sokoto His Eminence Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III have also either visited or called to commiserate with him.

    “Pastor Adeboye didn’t speak about Yoruba nation. Look at the number of crowd in Baba Adeboye’s church. Is he not supposed to tell all of them to join Yoruba nation? We don’t need to greet him.

    “God himself will start asking questions from all the enemies of the Yoruba race. By the grace of God, anybody who says Yoruba will not get to the promised land, God will kill their children and wives and their entire family.”

    “Anybody who does not support Yoruba nation, those who have powers, be it pastors or anybody that has the followers, but does not support Yoruba nation, God I call on you; you’re the one who owns me and the creator of everything. Those elders who see our sufferings, who see that the Fulanis are kidnapping us and collecting ransom, but choose not to support us, as you kill their children, kill their wives. So shall it be!” Sunday Igboho emphasised.

    Speaking at the May edition of the programme tagged ‘Overflowing Blessings’, which was televised by the church’s television ministry, DOVE Media and monitored by TNG , Adeboye who virtually attended the event, premised his sermon on John 6: 5-13 to show the relevance of bread and wine as symbols of communion.

    His words: “Holy Communion is a sacred meal, stressed that it carries the same power as the very first meal where Jesus Christ was present. Is Jesus present here today? you better believe it, where two or three are gathered, I will be there… as we bow our head in prayer, those of you who are yet to give your life to Christ, ask God to save your souls so that you can partake of the table of the Lord. If you want to give your life to Christ, run to the alter and ask him for his mercy, to wash you and make you partaker of his blood and body.”

    After the sermon, one of the leaders of the church who took over activities of the communion service told the congregation in the auditorium at the Redemption Camp: “Tonight, daddy has prayed for us. He has also prayed on all the elements that we are going to use – the bread and the wine. I am here not standing in for him because I am too small to stand in for him; I am only here to deliver the message as a messenger.

    “He could have been here physically as he used to but due to circumstances beyond control, he was not able to be here but to the Glory of God, he has said to us, Jesus is here and he is also there praying for us,” he said of the decision by Adeboye to preach from the DOVE Television studio.
