Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has opened up on his struggle for life during an evangelism programmes in the church about seven years ago.
Adeboye recalled how he collapsed in Ilesha, saying his body broke down completely due to the effect of bad road.
Sharing the testimony at the annual Special Holy Ghost Service, themed “Joy Unspeakable”, the popular clergy also disclosed that for the first time, he spent Christmas in bed due to the health crisis.
He narrated that after he broke down in Ilesha, he was airlifted to the camp for the program but some persons attempted to stop the helicopter from taking off, leading to the damaging of one of the windows.
He said: “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”.
“Seven years later, I am still here! I want you to thank God for sparing my life”, Adeboye added after narrating the incident, urging the congregation to thank God for his life.
