The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor
Enoch Adejare Adeboye, said he does not wish to live longer than 92
years.
The 72 year old revered cleric said this on Sunday, while delivering the sermon at the 60th birthday of the founder and president of Living Faith Church worldwide, a.k.a Winners Chapel, Bishop Oyedepo.
In his speech, Adeboye noted that every birthday was a reminder that days of every human being were numbered.
Speaking further, he recalled that: “When I marked 70 and people prayed
that I would be up to 80, I said amen. When they said I would be up 90, I said well, amen. But when they said 100, I didn’t say amen.
“I didn’t because I don’t know what offence I would have committed for God to keep me up to 100 in this sinful world when a crown of glory is awaiting me in heaven”.
The preacher, however, said he would not mind to live more than 20 years ahead.
“I wouldn’t mind to be 92 though, so that I will be alive to preach when Bishop Oyedepo is 80,” he said.
“But to live up to 100, I don’t know about that”.
