‘We have lost a champion’, Pa Adeboye says as son Dare is buried

 

The remains of Pastor Dare Adeboye, who died last Wednesday, in Eket, Akwa Ibom State, was buried Tuesday at the Redeemed Camp, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Pastor D, as he was fondly called, was the third child of the General Overseer (GO) of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye.

A farewell Service was held in his honour at the Youth Centre, Redemption Camp, and thereafter the body was committed to mother earth, amid outpouring of tears, eulogies and prayers for the families he left behind, especially his wife and three children.

In his message at the funeral, the senior Adeboye thanked all those who had commiserated with him and his wife; the widow of the deceased and his children and the entire Redeemed family.

Pa Adeboye drew strength from the Scriptures as he sought to comfort the grieving congregants.

In a video posted on the church’s Twitter handle, Pa Adeboye said God is Sovereign and the Almighty.

Said the revered cleric, “You don’t say No to the Lord, whatever He says or does, you say ‘Yes Lord’.

“The true test of submission is not when you obey when it’s convenient, but when it is inconvenient. Whether it’s convenient or not, we say ‘Yes Lord’.

“Death is not a function of Age. We have lost a champion, but let’s consider him a seed that will reap a lot of harvest. Let’s join our forces together and produce many champions like Damilare, that will move round the world and shake the world for Jesus.

“The church of God is marching on and the Gates of hell shall not prevail. My children, I have good news for you; mighty things are about to begin. The tougher the exam, the bigger the promotion. This exam was tough but we have passed.

“Let’s move forward, win more souls, plant more churches, let’s drive the Devil crazy! Our strength is not weak because greater is He that is in us. Join me my beloved children, let’s march on. Get ready for miracles you have never seen before in your life and in the body of Christ.

“Like never before, I’m going to show greater interest in the youths and young adults’ ministry of our mission.

“God bless you!”
