The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has recalled how he nearly died seven years ago during one of his church’s evangelism programmes.

Adeboye revealed that he fell critically ill due to bad road conditions.

For the first time, Adeboye said he was eventually forced to spend Christmas Day in bed due to ill health

He disclosed how he had to be airlifted from Ilesha to the camp but miscreants attempted to stop the helicopter from taking off, damaging one of the windows in the process.

Adeboye shared the testimony at the annual Special Holy Ghost Service, themed “Joy Unspeakable”.

He was seen in a video saying, “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.

“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!”
