Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has shared a harrowing experience from seven years ago when he nearly lost his life during an evangelism program due to bad roads.
Adeboye recounted the incident on Friday, March 7, during the annual Special Holy Ghost Service, themed “Joy Unspeakable.”
He revealed that his health declined so drastically that he spent Christmas Day that year in bed—a first for him.
Adeboye explained that he fell seriously ill in Ilesha, Osun State, and was too weak to travel by road.
A helicopter was arranged to airlift him to the RCCG camp on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. However, some individuals tried to stop the helicopter from taking off, even damaging one of its windows in the process.
His words: “Seven years ago, during this same programme, 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 Ilessa, 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.
“They clung to the helicopter, and in the process, one of the windows got torn. But by God’s grace, I managed to reach the camp. I had an assurance that if only I could get to the camp, I would recover.”
“Seven years later, I am still here! I want you to thank God for sparing my life. Please, praise Him for me—give Him glory, honour, and adoration!” Adeboye added.
