The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has restated his vision of how he believes he will pass away, peacefully, on a Sunday, after attending church service and eating his favourite meal, pounded yam.

Speaking on the fourth day of the church’s ongoing International Convention themed “The Overcomers”, Adeboye said death does not always come through prolonged illness and that his departure 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 cleric noted that he first shared this vision two years ago and was repeating it to reassure believers that death can be peaceful for those in Christ.

Delivering a sermon titled “Possess Your Possessions”, Adeboye urged Christians to actively claim what is rightfully theirs in Christ, warning that spiritual blessings often have to be fought for.

Drawing from the biblical story of the Israelites taking the Promised Land, he said:

“In many cases, you may have to fight for things that are already yours.”

He listed healing, prosperity, fruitfulness, and long life as areas where believers must resist 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, citing John 10:10. “Long life is yours, but the devil wants to kill you with all he has. You must fight to live.”

On 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 wouldn’t be poor. As long as you want to remain poor, you will remain poor.”

He criticised the double standard faced by successful Christians:

“If you make it as a Christian, they criticise you. If you die poor, they say, ‘Where’s your God?’”

Referencing biblical figures like Rachel and Hannah, who overcame barrenness through persistent prayer, he urged believers to reject all forms of spiritual oppression.

Concluding his message, Adeboye used the story of Jacob wrestling with an angel as a call to spiritual perseverance:

“It is what we tolerate that disturbs us. Stop tolerating sickness, poverty, barrenness, or premature death. Fight to possess your possessions, it’s your spiritual duty, made possible by Christ’s sacrifice.”

Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state, on Thursday, flagged off the plantation of one million trees in the state.

Speaking during the flagging off ceremony of the 2025 annual tree planting campaign in Dass Local Government Area of the state, Mohammed said that the trees contained both the indigenous and fruits bearing trees.

These trees, he said, were to be planted across all the 20 Local Government Areas of the state.

According to him, the forests in the state were under siege, saying that uncontrolled deforestation, illegal logging, bush burning and over grazing had left most of the lands barren.

“In response, tree planting must become a must movement, a people’s revolution to reclaim their land, restore their dignity and integrity and create a new hope within our environment.

“Trees are not just nature’s ornaments, they are life sustaining assets. They absorb carbon dioxide, improve soil fertility, recharge ground water, provide timber among others.

“This year, we are targeting the planting of 1 million trees across all the 20 Local Government Areas ranging from indigenous species to economic and other fruits like Mango, guava, cashew and oranges.

“These trees will not only green our environment, but also generate income for farmers, improve food and security, create jobs especially for our youth and women,” he said.

Mohammed explained that the seedlings would be provided to households, schools and farmers and the government would engage extension workers to support community restoration efforts to monitor survival rates.

The governor further said that the gesture was imperative as every tree planted was a shield against poverty, hunger, displacement and a reward from God after death.

“Every tree nurtured is an investment in our collective prosperity.

“I therefore call upon all the local government chairmen to visit all the local government headquarters to ensure that this gesture takes place everywhere.

“They must work with their counselors to make sure that this gesture is replicated in their wards,” said the governor.

Earlier, Alh Danlami Kaule, the state Commissioner for Housing and Environment, said the theme of the 2025 annual tree planting campaign is ‘Plant a tree for a better tomorrow’.

He expressed the ministry’s commitment in promoting sustainable environmental practices and urban development.

“Our goal is to restore, enhance biodiversity and create greener communities that support both humans and ecological well-being”. He said.
