Millions of worshippers in
attendance roared in disapproval as
Pastor Adeboye, hinted at his
possible passing.

The annual Holy Ghost Congress of
the Redeemed Christian Church of
God (RCCG) ended with cold biblical
references by the General Overseer,
Pastor E.A Adeboye about death
which left his audience in cold shock.

The one-week programme ended on
Saturday, with a three-in-one
service, comprising anointing,
communion and impartation. ‘
Ministering on the transfer of
anointing, Adeboye said he would
not be too young at 73 to go back to
his creator. He would be 74 in
March.

He was explaining why the
transferred anointing is always more
potent than the index case, using
Moses and Elijah as examples.

Using the scripture, Adeboye pointed
that where Moses, who got his
anointing directly from God failed,
Joshua, who got his fire from Moses,
excelled.

He also cited the case of Prophet
Elijah who performed 7 miracles
while Elisha who got his anointing
from Elijah when God was taking
him away, performed 14 miracles.

Adeboye equally explained that the
beneficiaries got the transferred
anointing when their masters were
about passing away.

He said he would anoint his wife and
other very senior pastors who, in
turn, would anoint other pastors,
from where the worshippers would
experience their own anointing fire.

After the explanation, he looked at
the congregation and said:

“you may be wondering if I am
about to go. Will it be too early for a
73-year-old man to die? If I go now,
who will say it is too early? ”

At this point, the worshippers, who
were at the beginning rejecting his
passing in a murmur, roared their
disapproval loudly from all the four
corners of the new auditorium.

Smiling, Adeboye added, “I am not
too young to die.” Again, the crowd
screamed their disapproval.

He later calmed everyone down,
saying:

“okay, it is not now (I’m not dying
now).” To which the crowd roared a
thunderous “Amen.”
