Never question God in the midst of crisis - Pastor Adeboye on son’s death



Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), on Friday at the May 2021 edition of the church’s Holy Ghost service, broke his silence after the demise of his son, Dare.

WuzupNigeria earlier reported that Dare, 42, died in his sleep on Tuesday, May 4th 2020 in Eket, Akwa-Ibom where he pastored a church.

Vice President Osinbanjo, Festus Keyamo, TB Joshua and other notable personalities have continued to pay tribute to the deceased.

Adeboye, while preaching at the Holy Ghost service programmer, urged everyone to always thank God and say ‘It is well” even in the face of crises rather than ‘blame and question God’.

The soft-spoken cleric referenced the book of Ezekiel 24:16, noting that when God’s took away Prophet Ezekiel’s wife, He asked him not to mourn her.

Adeboye, who spoke from the studio of the church’s station – DOVE Media – alongside few officials including his wife, Folu Adeboye, while members of his church gathered at the auditorium along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, said:

“Whatever we have is given to us by God, be it wealth, wife, husband, children e.t.c and if it got taken away by God, all we can do is give God glory for actually giving us the privilege to enjoy those wealth or kids temporarily and it is not for us to complain, blame and question God.”

He added, “What we see as sorrows might be joy in the sight of God, I mean His ways and thoughts are not the same with ours, we shouldn’t forget that both good and bad happen at God’s command. (Lamentations 3:38).

“Finally in all things let’s learn to say thank you father and It is well. God bless all of you in Jesus’ name,” Adeboye said.

The RCCG overseer further stated that peace is one of the blessings only God can give saying “There is a peace that passes human understanding. It is only God that can give that peace. I thank God that I have that peace.”

Adeboye also allayed fears on over possibility of a third wave of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Nigeria, saying it was due to the prayers of Christians that COVID-19 did not take a detrimental dimension.

“Don’t listen to any person who says it is by their own wisdom that coronavirus is now subdued in Nigeria. It is because you prayed. You asked God for mercy, and God heard and in the mighty name of Jesus, there will be no third wave.

“But, I want to encourage you that you need to pray again. We have problems of many kinds in Nigeria so very soon; you might be summoned to pray again.

“We need to pray against all the problems we are facing, and God will answer when we pray,” Adeboye said.
