Pastor Enoch Adeboye
Highly-respected
cleric, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has discussed his death at a religious
gathering, with the religious leader talking about the remainder of his
years.
The General Overseer Worldwide of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Monday told a large congregation in Minna,
Niger State that he would not want to live up to 120 years.
Adeboye spoke during a birthday service for Pastor Yerima
El-Samaila of the Faith Foundation Church, who clocked 70 years on
Monday
He also said he might not preside over the 80th birthday service of El- Samaila.
“It is not how long you live but how well you spend your life,
I don’t want to be 120 years old; longevity is good but there is a
limit” the cleric declared while delivering the message at the
birthday service held at the Justice Idris Legbo Kutigi International
Conference Centre in the Niger State capital.
“People don’t want to die because they don’t know where they
are going; I know where I am going. I have seen heaven, I have seen my
house in heaven, I know what is waiting for me there, heaven is
beautiful, and I can’t wait to go there.
“I want to finish what I have to do here and finish it well, any of us can go at any moment we have to get ready for home,” he said.
He urged Christians to be “committed to God more than ever before,”noting that “many Christians are getting distracted from God.”
Christians, he warned, should not forget that they were created to show the glory of God. He advised men of God to “stop
playing with the church and become committed to the Almighty God and do
your utmost best so that when you are leaving, you can say you have
fulfilled your purpose.”
Adeboye thanked God for the life of the celebrator, his family and his ministry “and commitment to God.”
He said, “It takes a man like you to bring me to Minna at a time like this and I rejoice that I could come”
Pastor Adeboye and his wife later joined El-Samaila to cut the
70th birthday cake, which he (Adeboye) presented to the celebrant.
The Niger State governor, represented by the Commissioner for
Information, Mr Jonathan Vatsa; former Information Minister, Professor
Jerry Gana; and clergymen from different denominations attended the
ceremony.
