Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has said he will like to die on a Sunday “after a good meal of pounded yam”.
He said this while speaking during the ongoing annual Holy Ghost Congress of the church in Ogun State.
Adeboye recounted that his uncle, after a joyous day in church, enjoyed a light breakfast and was anticipating a meal of pounded yam prepared by his wife when he gave up the ghost without being sick.
He said, “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.”
