Adeboye Recounts Near-Death Experience Travelling On Nigerian Roads

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has shared a personal story of how he narrowly escaped death seven years ago during a church program.

Pastor Adeboye recounted the near death experience while speaking at the annual Special Holy Ghost Service, themed “Joy Unspeakable,” giving all the glory to God for his survival.

The 83-year-old pastor recalled that during one of the yearly “Let’s Go A-Fishing” evangelism programs in Ilesha, he suddenly became critically ill. His condition was so severe that he could not return to the camp by road.

He expressed gratitude to God for preserving his life and explained what happened, 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.”

Pastor Adeboye further described how local miscreants tried to prevent the helicopter from taking off. “However, just as I was about to be airlifted, local miscreants (area boys) attempted to prevent the helicopter from taking off. 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, honor, and adoration!”

Pastor Adeboye’s testimony of surviving the near-death experience was a reminder of his faith in God’s protection and healing power, as he stood before the congregation, grateful to still be alive.
