General overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye has said he would like to die on a Sunday after eating pounded yam.
The cleric stated this at his church’s ongoing annual Holy Ghost Congress at Redemption City, Ogun State.
“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,” he told the congregation on December 7.
In July, while celebrating his wife Foluke’s 75th birthday, Adeboye said he would like to die on the same day with her.
“From the moment she chose to spend her life with me, she has stood by my side through thick and thin. One of my fervent prayers is for both of us to be taken home together when the time comes,” he wrote in a social media post.
