Pastor E. A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church Of God (RCCG) made a surprising revelation in a recent sermon about how long he would like to be on earth.
The Pastor of the renowned church revealed that 100 years was the ideal age for him and anything past that he rejected for himself. The man of god who is currently aged 83 mentioned this in a sermon that has now gone viral online.
He explained that members of his congregation were constantly praying for him to live a long healthy life, which he greatly appreciated.
When they prayed that he would reach 80, he responded with a hearty ‘Amen’. When they prayed that he would reach 90, he was still receptive, but when they got to 100, he chose to remain quiet, showing that 100 was the limit for him.
However, some zealous members of the congregation kept going, praying for 120 and 140, which he adamantly rejected, saying that he did not want to live over 100 years of age.
He asked his congregation why god would keep him on earth for an additional 50 years, he had lived long enough and the world was filled with troubles.
In his sermon he said;
“When I was 70 years old, some children of mine began to pray for me. And they said, ‘Daddy, you will live to be 80,’ I said Amen. ‘You will live to be 90,’ I said Amen. They said, ‘You will live to be 100,’ I didn’t answer them.
