The families of two General overseers, Pastor Elijah Oludele Abina and Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has both lost their sons recently in a span of seven days. Pastor Abina is the general overseer of The Gospel Faith Mission International (Gofamint) while Pastor Adeboye is the general overseer of the redeemed Christian church of God. Both in Nigeria but with churches located internationally. Both are highly respected for their faith and as leaders.
The late Pastor Folorunsho Emmanuel Abina was the Pastor of The Kingdom House – The Gospel Faith Mission International (GOFAMINT) in Abuja. Kingdom house is described in their Facebook page as a place where the youths are treasured and the old are honoured and do ministry together. Pastor Emmanuel went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, 28 April, 2021. People have described him as loving and passionate for youth Ministry. Going through his Facebook page, it looks like he lost his wife in 2020. May his soul rest in perfect peace and may God continue to sustain the church of God and the family he left behind.
Late pastor Dare Adeboye (aged 42) was a youth pastor in RCCG. He was reported to have died in his sleep on 4 May 2021.

Death! Oh Death! What a sting. When everyone’s time comes, there’s nothing we can do and we cannot question our maker. No life insurance is big enough to prevent it. We all need to be in tune with the sovereign God. These men are men of God. We thank God that they left a good legacy but for those of us still alive, let’s give a thought to eternity and consider our end.
Let us unanimously lift up our fathers of faith in prayers for Gods comfort at this trying times. They sure need it. May the good Lord comfort the families of the departed. May he comfort the church as a whole. My prayer is that we will all make it to heaven in Jesus mighty name.
John 11:25 (New International Version) Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die
Not sure of eternity? Please secure your space in Heaven by giving your life to Jesus, he is the way the truth and the life. If you don’t know how to do this, please say this prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Saviour. Please help me.
Look for a Bible believing church around you and introduce yourself as a new believer. They should help you settle in but most importantly, be a friend of God and hear from God yourself. God will surely help you. Make the bible your friend. Free bible is available here online
