Pastor EA Adeboye has again given a hint that, as the rich also cry, even big men of God do have their difficult near-death moments.
He did this as he recalled how he physically collapsed in Ilesha, Osun State, seven years ago and had to be evacuated via a helicopter.
He shared the testimony during a service. The clergy also disclosed that for the first time, he spent Christmas in bed due to the health crisis.
He narrated that after he broke down in Ilesha, he was airlifted to the camp for the programme but some persons attempted to stop the helicopter from taking off, leading to the damaging of one of the windows.
He said: “Seven years ago, during this same programme, my body broke down completely due to the terrible road conditions.
“For the first time in my life, I spent Christmas Day in bed. The devil was certain he had finally got me. I collapsed in Ilesha, and to bring me back to the camp, we had to charter a helicopter. I was too weak to travel by road—if I had, I would not have made it.
“Seven years later, I am still here! I want you to thank God for sparing my life”, Adeboye added after narrating the incident, urging the congregation to thank God for his life.
