I’d like to die on a Sunday after eating pounded yam - Adeboye

Image
The General overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has revealed how he would like to die.    While speaking at his church's ongoing annual Holy Ghost Congress in Ogun State on Thursday, December 7, the 81-year-old clergyman said he wanted a death similar to one of his uncles.   “I know somebody will say if we are never sick, how are we going to die and go to heaven? You don’t need to be sick to go to heaven.   An uncle of mine woke up on a Thanksgiving Sunday, went to Church, danced like everybody else, came home and his wife gave him a light breakfast before preparing the original food which was pounded yam. She was already pounding the yam when my uncle decided to go to the toilet.   After she finished pounding, she knocked at the door of the toilet, when they opened the door, my uncle was gone; no sickness, no ache, no pain. If the Lord tarries His coming, I will go on a Sunday after a good meal of pounded yam.”

"We propose language ... that would have reinforced the life-saving diplomacy we have undertaken since Oct. 7, increased opportunities for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, encourage the release of hostages and the resumption of humanitarian pauses and laid a foundation for a durable peace," Wood said. "Unfortunately, nearly all of our recommendations were ignored." Several foreign ministers of Arab countries that have be...
