Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has shared how he narrowly escaped death seven years ago during a church evangelism program.
Speaking at the annual Special Holy Ghost Service themed “Joy Unspeakable,” Adeboye testified to God’s grace and mercy in his life. He revealed that he fell critically ill due to poor road conditions and, for the first time ever, had to spend Christmas Day bedridden.
His condition became so dire that he had to be airlifted from Ilesha to the church camp. However, local miscreants attempted to obstruct the helicopter’s departure, even damaging one of its windows in the process.
Despite the ordeal, Adeboye expressed deep gratitude to God for preserving his life and sustaining his ministry.

“Seven years ago, during this same program, my body completely broke down because of the terrible road conditions. I spent Christmas Day in bed for the first time in my life. The enemy thought he had won. I collapsed in Ilesha, and we had to charter a helicopter because I was too weak to travel by road—it would have been fatal.
“As we prepared for takeoff, some individuals clung to the helicopter, damaging one of the windows. But by God’s grace, I reached the camp safely. I was certain that if I could just make it to the camp, I would recover. And now, seven years later, I am still standing!
“I want you to thank God for preserving my life. Praise Him on my behalf—give Him all the glory, honor, and adoration!”
