Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has shared a profound personal account of his near-death experience that occurred a few years ago.
The renowned clergy unveiled how a grueling schedule of evangelism combined with poor road conditions resulted in him being bedridden during the Christmas season of 2018.
During the church’s annual Special Holy Ghost Service, themed “Joy Unspeakable”, affectionately known as Daddy GO by his congregation, he recounted his collapse in Ilesha and how he became paralyzed due to the dire state of the roads.
He revealed that this health crisis led him to spend Christmas in bed for the first time in his life.

He detailed how, after collapsing in Ilesha, he was airlifted to the camp for the event, despite some attempts to prevent the helicopter from taking off, which resulted in damage to one of the windows.
Due to his weakened condition, he was unable to travel by road, fearing that he would have lost his life had he done so; thus, a helicopter was chartered for his safety.
He stated: “Seven years ago, during this same program, my body broke down entirely due to the terrible road conditions.
“For the first time in my life, I spent Christmas Day in bed. The devil was certain he had finally got me.
“I collapsed in Ilesha, and to bring me back to the camp, we had to charter a helicopter. I was too weak to travel by road—if I had, I would not have made it.”
