General Overseer of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, on Monday stated
that he does not want to live up to 120 years.
Adeboye said this at the birthday
service held in honour of Pastor Yerima El-Samaila of the Faith Foundation
Church who turned 70 years.
The event held at the Justice
Idris Legbo Kutigi International Conference Centre, Minna, Nigeria.
“It is not how long you live but
how well you spend your life, I don’t want to be 120 years old, longevity is
good but there is a limit.
“People don’t want to die because
they don’t know where they are going, I know where I am going, I have seen
heaven, I have seen my house in heaven, I know what is waiting for me there,
heaven is beautiful, and I can’t wait to go.
“I want to finish what I have to
do here and finish it well, any of us can go at any moment we have to get ready
for home,” Adeboye said.
He therefore challenged Christians
to be committed to God more than ever before, saying that: “Many Christians are
getting distracted from God”.
“Christians should not forget the
most important reason why they are here, adding that it was to show God’s
glory.”
The RCCG leader advised other men
of God to “stop playing church and become committed to the almighty God and do
their utmost so that when they are leaving they can also say they have
fulfilled their purpose.”
“It takes a man like you to bring
me to Minna at a time like this and I rejoice that I could come.”
In attendance were Niger state
Governor represented by the Commissioner for Information, Jonathan Tsado Vatsa,
a former information minister, Professor Jerry Gana, clergymen, among others.
