I will die on a Sunday after eating Pounded Yam

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has once again shared his personal vision of how he believes he will peacefully depart from this world.

Adeboye envisions dying suddenly on a Sunday after attending church service and enjoying his favourite meal, pounded yam.

He revealed this during the fourth day of RCCG’s ongoing International Convention themed “The Overcomers.”

Pastor Adeboye emphasized that death does not always follow prolonged illness or suffering. Instead, he expressed confidence that his passing would be sudden, painless, and divinely orchestrated, a blessing he looks forward to.

“I will die on a Sunday after attending service, eat my beloved pounded yam, and then pass on without any sickness,” he declared.

He first shared this vision two years ago and reiterated it to assure believers that death can be peaceful for those in Christ.

In his sermon titled “Possess Your Possessions,” Adeboye encouraged Christians to actively claim what belongs to them spiritually, warning that blessings often require spiritual battles.

Using the biblical story of the Israelites taking the Promised Land as an example, he said, “In many cases, you may have to fight for things that are already yours.”

He mentioned healing, prosperity, fruitfulness, and long life as areas where believers must resist spiritual opposition.

“Your greatest friend, Jesus Christ, paid a great price to purchase your healing. Yet there is a thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy,” he said, citing John 10:10. “Long life is yours, but the devil wants to kill you with all he has. You must fight to live.”

On prosperity, Adeboye stated, “The One who owns the earth and its fullness, and owns all the silver and gold, paid a terrible price so that you wouldn’t be poor. As long as you want to remain poor, you will remain poor.”

He criticized the double standards faced by successful Christians: “If you make it as a Christian, they criticise you. If you die poor, they say, ‘Where’s your God?’”

Drawing from biblical figures such as Rachel and Hannah, who overcame barrenness through persistent prayer, he urged believers to reject spiritual oppression in all its forms.

Concluding his message, Adeboye referenced the story of Jacob wrestling with an angel as a call for spiritual perseverance:

“It is what we tolerate that disturbs us. Stop tolerating sickness, poverty, barrenness, or premature death. Fight to possess your possessions; it’s your spiritual duty, made possible by Christ’s sacrifice.”
