Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God has revealed that he would like to live this sinful world in other to be enthroned in a transcendent place but only at the age of 92.
While delivering the sermon at the 60th birthday of the founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop Oyedepo, the 72-year-old Reverend said this in his statement.
Adeboye, who noted that every birthday is a reminder that the days of every human being are numbered, also said: ‘When I marked 70 and people prayed that I would be up to 80, I said amen. When they said I would be up 90, I said well, amen. But when they said 100, I didn’t say amen.
‘I didn’t because I don’t know what offence I would have committed for God to keep me up to 100 in this sinful world when a crown of glory is awaiting me in heaven.’
The preacher, however, said he would not mind to live more than 20 years ahead. ‘I wouldn’t mind to be 92 though, so that I will be alive to preach when Bishop Oyedepo is 80.’
‘But to live up to 100, I don’t know about that.’ he added.
