He recounted stories from his former driver about multiple close calls he and his wife experienced while travelling to Ilorin, Kwara.
Among these incidents, Adeboye highlighted a particularly terrifying encounter with a speeding trailer on a narrow path near a bridge overlooking a river.
How Adeboye escaped death
According to a report from PM News, he said they somehow made it through, emphasising the miraculous aspect of their survival if he and his driver were shaken but unharmed.
Adeboye remarked that his driver was astounded by their escape, continuously repeating the word "wonderful" throughout their journey to Ilorin.
He said:
“That I’m alive today is because His name is called wonderful.”
Adeboye thanked the congregation for honouring him and prayed for their longevity and even greater success than his own.
He noted that his 82nd birthday coincided with the 38th anniversary of the church's monthly Special Holy Ghost Service, and he thanked God for the impact the program had made on people's lives.
During the event, Adeboye delivered a sermon on the theme of the Holy Ghost Service, focusing on the concept of soaring "On Eagles Wings."
While preaching from the book of Exodus Chapter 19, he said:
“When God hears and takes notice of a person, the life of such a person changes for better.
“God can grab you from the lowest point on earth and put you on the throne.”
He expressed that divine intervention is imminent in dire circumstances beyond human aid for those who believe.
Emphasizing the importance of faith and purity, he asserted that divine intervention could achieve victory effortlessly.
He prayed for God's intervention, drawing parallels to the biblical narrative of the Israelites' deliverance.
Adeboye's biography
Born on March 2, 1942, in Ifewara, near Ife, in present-day Osun State, Adeboye joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God in 1973 and served as an interpreter for the church's founder, Pa. Josiah Akindayomi.
Following Akindayomi's passing in 1981, Adeboye assumed leadership as General Overseer, overseeing RCCG's expansion into one of Nigeria's largest Pentecostal churches with global reach.
Adeboye has expressed his aim to establish a church branch within a convenient five-minute walking distance in growing urban areas and a similarly accessible five-minute driving distance in more established cities.
