ON Thursday at Redemption City, Pastor Enoch Adeboye delivered a powerful sermon on the fourth day of the 2025 annual convention themed The Overcomers.
This is just as no fewer than 50 babies: 39 boys and 25 girls, were born as of Thursday the fourth day of the convention.
His sermon, titled “Possessing Your Possession,” drew from various Bible passages, including Matthew 11:12, John 10:10, and Mark 5:25-34.
Pastor Adeboye began by reaffirming with certainty how he will die: “I’ll go on a Sunday. I’ll go to church. Have a wonderful service. Come back home, eat pounded yam and go. You don’t have to be sick to die.”

The pastor emphasised that death does not always come after prolonged illness and urged believers to “take your healing by violence,” stressing the need for boldness in claiming God’s promises.
The RCCG General Overseer, who was ordained as full pastor 50 years ago and became head of the mission 45 years ago, reminded the congregation that prosperity is part of God’s plan for Christians, countering criticism that often meets prosperous believers.
“Jesus paid a terrible price that I should not be poor,” he said, citing 2 Corinthians 8:9.
Adeboye noted that when sinners prosper, no one raises an eyebrow, but when Christians succeed, they face undue criticism.
“If you make it as a Christian, they criticise you. If you die poor, they say ‘Where’s your God?’” he said, highlighting the expectations placed on believers to thrive and support the work of God.
The sermon also touched on fruitfulness, with references to Genesis and the story of Hannah’s prayers for a child.
He celebrated testimonies from congregants in the past and present who overcame barrenness after fervent prayer.
Pastor Adeboye further spoke on the promise of long life, recalling Jacob’s story in Genesis and encouraging the congregation to wrestle with challenges like Jacob did.
Finally, he exhorted believers not to remain under the powers of darkness but to seek the light, quoting John 8:32 & 36 and recounting the healing of blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52.
“Even a madman will go after light,” he said, urging all to let darkness give way to light.
The sermon was a bold declaration of faith in God’s healing, prosperity, fruitfulness, and protection — a rallying call for believers to possess all that God has promised without fear or hesitation.
