To some long life is a blessing while to others it is a sin.
Pastor E. A. Adeboye, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has said that he’s not sure he wants to live up to a hundred years on earth.
He made this known while speaking at the 60th birthday celebration service for Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church worldwide, a.k.a Winners chapel over the weekend.
Adeboye said:
“When I marked 70 and people prayed that I would be up to 80, I said amen. When they said I would be up 90, I said well, amen. But when they said 100, I didn’t say amen. I didn’t because I don’t know what offence I would have committed for God to keep me up to 100 in this sinful world when a crown of glory is awaiting me in heaven. I wouldn’t mind to be 92 though, so that I will be alive to preach when Bishop Oyedepo is 80. But to live up to 100, I don’t know about that.”
The concept of long life is subjective. A man is due to join his maker when he man fulfills his purpose on earth.
