General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye finally spoke on his son's death Friday night.

42-year-old Dare Adeboye passed away in his sleep on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, in Eket, Akwa-Ibom where he was pastoring a church.

Since the news broke of his demise, many prominent personalities have sent condolences to the family and taken to social media to share their tributes.

Whiles preaching at the May 2021 edition of the church's Holy Ghost service,
urged people to always thank God and say 'It is well' rather than blame God.

According to The Nation, Pastor Adeboye 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.

He 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.”

Making reference ot the bible, Ezekiel 24:16, he said, “God took away Ezekiel’s wife and asked him not to mourn over her”.

“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.

Adding that, “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.”

During his preaching, he hinted at a possible third wave of the coronavirus pandemic in the country and called on Christians to pray.

“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.
