According to Temiloluwa, her husband told her before his death that if he died, he knew he was fulfilled because he had done what the Lord asked him to do.
.
Temiloluwa spoke on Monday at the Evening of Worship and Tribute which held at the RCCG, House Of Favour, Redemption Camp.
.
She said, “Pastor Dare, my husband was a wonderful person. He was amazing in every sense of the way. I do not mourn him at all; I weep because he left me. He slept, he did not die. And I know, I am sure, because on the resurrection morning, he will rise again and we will see him in glory.
.
“I am sure because he was saved. I am sure because he believed in Christ, his salvation was sure, it was certain.
.
“He said if I die today, I know I am fulfilled, I have done what the Lord has asked me to do, he was not afraid of death. He was not afraid. It is not a matter of time but how well and he lived a good life, he lived to the glory of God. He lived, he served God. His life was dedicated to Christ and that is why I am sure that he is heaven.
.
“I am sure that he made it. And I want to say brethren today, if you are not sure of your salvation. If you are not sure that if you sleep tonight, you might not wake up tomorrow, you are not sure of where you will be in eternity. If you have not yet given your life to Christ, if you are here today to see because you heard. Yes, it is true; he is sleeping in the Lord but are you sure of yourself, are you sure of where you will be? Are you sure of where you will be?”
.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that Dare, the third child of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, died last Wednesday in Eket, Akwa Ibom State, where he was based with his family. The 42-year-old was the Assistant Pastor in charge of Region (Youth) 35 before his death. He was father to three daughters.

Theres more to his death they're not telling us, he might have been battling an ailment over the years, reason behind his rapid aging, how does a man in his 40s look 60s?
ReplyDeleteYes but all in all, he has gone to rest finally, sickness & suffering have no power over him again. It is over for his earthly body. His spirit finds rest from the toils, left for others to prepare as it is a call to answer one day, you are healthy and live 150 years, you will answer it. My son died at the age of Six months plus, not sick, he has answered the call. As a mother I know what his mother is going through despise her faith. So remember her in your prayers rather than seek answer to personal issues that should be kept personal. No one tells all that he/she is going through. So just pray for them. Ye are strong today, pray for the weak
DeleteThis is insensitive!
DeleteWhatever it is, the point is he lived a life well lived. At the end of the day, on Judgment day, God won't ask whether it was an ailment or not, whether you were 80 or 20, it would be what you did with your life on earth.
DeleteSo, if I were you, I would use this opportunity to introspect and review my life.
Okay. Help us find out and send your findings to Stella so she can post it.
DeleteMind your business.
DeleteSo true.,I had pastor who looked so old,we never she had been battling with cancer till her demise.
DeleteYou speak ignorantly. Do you know the spiritual exercises these men of God subject their flesh to?
DeleteMost of them engage in long hours of fasting, even running into days. They hardly sleep as long as you and I. They're always on long night prayers.
For instance, papa Oyedepo says he sleeps for the day at 3am and is awake around 5am or 6am. That's been his practise for years. 2-3hours of sleep in a day! That's enough to drain the flesh.
This is just a few points. Get your facts before jumping (like frog) into conclusion.
I come in peace.

So what will their telling us do for us??
DeleteLong and short of it is that he is dead and gone to be with his maker.
Something must kill a man.
It is well. He looks way older than 42yrs
DeleteHow is it your business? Some of you can't just mind your business.
DeleteGo and beat them as they refuse to tell you. Nonsense.
DeleteI'm just here wondering what you want to do with the info about his death. That is if there is any.
Exactly my thoughts
DeleteWheres the insensitivity there?
DeleteY'all walk on eggshells alot when it comes to these Pastors, forgetting they have blood flowing in them like every normal being, stating the obvious should now be tongue-tied? What's wrong with aging? We should all pray to attain that age...
You are insensitive Samurai, eod. A family is grieving and the best you can do is speculate, have some empathy and sense na.
DeleteSamurai... Looking 60 ooo, ugly, pretty, handsome, rich or poor, no one is getting out here alive, you, me inclusive.. So then live and make your life count.. Strive to be remembered by something tangible!
DeleteIt is not how long but HOW WELL. A life of purpose will always be superior to wasted existence. He answered his call well. The question for you is "when death comes calling, will you be ready?"
DeleteSamurai's comment is touching a nerve in some of you probably because it is a pastor's child, which is very okay. I will like us to have this same sentiment and sensitivity when we talk about celebrities and politicians. We are all human beings and equal in the sight of God.
DeleteI have friends that look over 10 years their age and they are hale and hearty. I also have friends that look 10 years younger than their age, and they are hale and hearty. In fact, one of my male friends looks 15 years younger than his age, his wife looks like his mum. It is the genes in their family.
DeleteThings do not necessarily need to have hidden stories. He may look old due to fasting etc.
Now is not the time for speculations. Rather, it is the time to have empathy on a couple who lost their child. Not on a pastor who lost his child but on a man and woman, irrespective of their profession, who lost a child.
16.50 both you and Samurai need to get yourselves checked. Asap.
DeleteHe really lived a good life. He touched lives.
ReplyDeleteIn his 42plus years on earth he did a lot.
Last night was too emotional.
May God continue to rest his soul.
Comfort to Daddy, mummy, Temi, the children and his siblings.
Pastor Dee lives on
PD lives on. Really emotional
DeleteYes, Pastor Dee lives on....
DeleteGod grant him rest.
ReplyDeleteMay we all have this same assurance of our place in Christ after our lives on earth. 🙏🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteAmen! This is the most important.
DeleteAmen. That's my heart desire...
DeleteGlory be to God
ReplyDeleteMay he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteGod rest his soul and give his family the strength and grace to bear the loss. Amen
ReplyDeleteLady preach on. Tell your pastors to repent. Many of them are not clean. They don't know Christ.
ReplyDeleteHeavenly comfort to you and your family. You and your husband could pass for brother and sister because the oil of God has made both of you one.
Comfort to the Adeboyes.
Devil is still using his fork to pick souls. Let's keep confessing Christ
Blaming innocent devil.
DeleteUsing fork to pick souls, this yori yori ehn.
DeleteJudge Judy weldone
DeleteTell your pastors to repent???? Repentance is not meant for a particular set of people...
DeleteGod grant Pastor Dare eternal rest 🙏🏾
ReplyDeleteMay he continue to rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteHe touched lives. God used him to touched my life even though I never met him physically. Pastor Dare lives on.
ReplyDeleteComfort to mummy and daddy Adeboye, comfort to his wife snd children, comfort to his entire family.
God reigns forever.
They should now grieve in private,after all the public display in trying to protect their brand.
ReplyDeleteAll I saw on the TV is a young widow who does not know what she is in for emotionally.
May God wrap His healing hand around her and the children because they are most affected.
May God also comfort the parents and siblings too. So sad
Insensitive much. Thankfully, your opinion does not count to the family.
DeleteMay God forgive you. Some Nigerians are wicked sha, see comment. Very insensitive bunch.
DeleteGod have mercy on you...
DeleteWhy don’t you go and grieve for them since you’re a professional griever
DeleteBloody idiot! You think because you end it with ‘god’, we will not see the wicked content of your heart?
Gtfoh!!!
Anon 10.26 you said the obvious truth. There's nothing insensitive about what she said. When you say the truth you are insensitive it's well.
DeleteThe worst thing to happen to parents is to bury their children or child. May God comfort the family at this time of their grief.
Both of you are real not ok! Your hearts are as dark as they come.
DeleteWhat is the truth in saying they are grieving publicly to protect their brand? What stupid brand is a parent who has to bury their child thinking of?
If you don’t see the absurdity in making such a statement about a grieving family in the public eye, then you need to really examine your head and heart.
You do realize that all of these things they share is done with their church family and it is news outlets and bloggers that bring it as news for dumb outsiders to leave stupid comments on?
14.35 obviously same as 10.26. Continue justifying what is wrong under the guide of 'saying the truth'.
DeleteIt is well, this man might have been battling some ailments known only by the family.
ReplyDeleteThat guy looked like he battled an ailment for long,he looked too old for someone in his forties please.hallowed eyes,sunken cheekbones and all.Hmm,na wa
ReplyDeleteAll of you saying he looked old for his age, haven't you seen people who naturally look older than their age? What's your problem?
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteMay the good Lord rest his soul and comfort his family members left behind.
ReplyDeleteMay the lord comfort you and your family
ReplyDeleteMay God comfort the family.
ReplyDeleteIs this a kind of trend that people can no longer express themselves objectively without someone saying that they are insensitive?
ReplyDeleteRIP Dare and may God comfort your loved ones.
Like some others said he could have been battling an ailment only kept within the family to avoid people asking the father to heal his own.
Stop it! Just stop it! Find somewhere else to express yourself, not on a grieving post.
DeleteANON 14;32, Why are you so pressed? She said what she said.
DeleteYour heart is all shades of dark. Human beings smh.
DeleteReally sorry about his lost ...
ReplyDeleteBut for those of us who believes there’s nothing impossible for any man Of God should learn from this
Muoka
Oyedepe
Mbaka
Adefarasin etc please come join hands and raise one of yours
Copied
Death is something each & everyone of us must taste so i don't think you can mock a dead person or the family. So i kind of understand the angle the writer of the above is coming from. So he's not mocking anyone but there's a lesson to learn from it
Same anon writing rubbish all over the place.
DeleteWhat happened to my post????
ReplyDeleteSleep on pastor Dee.
ReplyDeleteHe looks older than 42, may his soyl rest in peace. Pretty wife may God comfort you and your household.
ReplyDeleteAmen
