Church goers had a mixed reaction Sunday after The Redeemed Christian Church of God general overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, predicted that he would die on a Sunday after feasting on pounded yam.
Adeboye made the revelation during the on-going Holy Ghost congress of the Church. He stated that it was his wish to pass on in a rapture manner without sickness or stress.
“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.”
