Tears flowed freely on Monday at the redemption camp as friends and well wishers recounted Dare Adeboye’s last moment at a service of songs held in his honour.
His wife, Mrs Temitope Adeboye, in her tribute said her husband is not dead but asleep with the assurance that they will see on ressurection morning.
“Pastor Dare, my husband was a wonderful person. He was amazing in every sense of the way.
“I do not mourn him at all, I weep because he left me. He slept, he did not die and I know, I am sure, because on the Resurrection morning, he will rise again and we will see him in glory.
“He was not afraid of death. He was not afraid. It is not a matter of how short, it is not a matter of time, but how well and He lived well.
“He lived a good life, He lived to the glory of God. He lived, he served God. His life was dedicated to Christ and that is why I am sure that he is in Heaven,” she stated.
“I am sure because he was saved. I am sure because he believed in Christ. His salvation was sure, it was certain. He said, “if I die today, I know I am fulfilled. I’ve done what the Lord has asked me to do.”
According to Temitope, “I am sure that he made it. I want to say brethren today, if you are not sure of your salvation, if you are not sure if you sleep tonight you might not wake up tomorrow.
“You are not sure of where you will be in eternity. You have not given your life to Christ at all. If you are here today, you heard and perhaps you just came to see: Yes, It’s true, he is sleeping in the Lord.”
Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and his wife Dolapo were among those who attended the service of songs for late Pastor Dare Adeboye, son of the General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
Also at the event were former Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel
