Eko Hot Blog reports that while speaking on the fourth day of the church’s ongoing International Convention themed “The Overcomers,” Adeboye explained that death does not always come after a long illness and that his passing would be sudden and painless.

“I will die on a Sunday after attending service, eat my beloved pounded yam, and then pass on without any sickness,” he declared.
The pastor mentioned that he first shared this vision two years ago and is repeating it to assure believers that death can be peaceful for those who are in Christ.
Preaching a sermon titled “Possess Your Possessions,” Pastor Adeboye encouraged Christians to actively claim what belongs to them in Christ, cautioning that spiritual blessings often require a fight.
Using the biblical account of the Israelites taking the Promised Land as an example, he said:
“In many cases, you may have to fight for things that are already yours.”
He highlighted healing, prosperity, fruitfulness, and long life as areas where believers must stand firm against spiritual opposition.
“Your greatest friend, Jesus Christ, paid a great price to purchase your healing. Yet there is a thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy,” he said, quoting John 10:10. “Long life is yours, but the devil wants to kill you with all he has. You must fight to live.”
Regarding prosperity, Adeboye declared:
“The One who owns the earth and its fullness, and owns all the silver and gold, paid a terrible price so that you would not be poor. As long as you want to remain poor, you will remain poor.”
He also criticized the double standard successful Christians face:
“If you make it as a Christian, they criticize you. If you die poor, they say, ‘Where’s your God?’”
Referring to biblical women like Rachel and Hannah who overcame barrenness through persistent prayer, he urged believers to reject all forms of spiritual oppression.
In closing, Adeboye used the story of Jacob wrestling with an angel as a call to spiritual endurance:
“It is what we tolerate that disturbs us. Stop tolerating sickness, poverty, barrenness, or premature death. Fight to possess your possessions, it is your spiritual duty, made possible by Christ’s sacrifice.”
