EXTRA: I’d like to die on a Sunday after a good meal of pounded yam, says Adeboye

Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), says he will like to die on a Sunday after a sumptuous meal of pounded yam.

Adeboye spoke during the ongoing annual Holy Ghost Congress of the church.

The general overseer said his desired death should be similar to that of an uncle of his who passed away without any known ailment.

The cleric said one does not have to be ill to make heaven.

“I know somebody will say if we are never sick, how are we going to die and go to heaven?,” he said.

“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, that is how I will go. I will go on a Sunday after a good meal of pounded yam.”

Adeboye prayed that everyone listening to him would die peacefully without any ailment.
