The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has provided more information on how prayers by Enoch Adeboye may have saved his life in a recent helicopter crash.
Mr Osinbajo spoke on Saturday at the 35th anniversary of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Holy Ghost Service, which marked Mr Adeboye’s 77th birthday anniversary.
Mr Osinbajo revealed details of the prayers he received at the Redemption Camp from Mr Adeboye, the general overseer of the church, hours before the helicopter crash he and 11 others survived in Kabba, Kogi State.
The vice president was among the people who testified to the goodness of God during the service. The cameras picked him as he walked from his seat towards the congregation, a broad smile on his face.
“I am Yemi Osinbajo, Pastor in charge of Lagos Province 48 of RCCG,” he began as the congregation cheered excitedly.
“I thank God for the salvation of my soul.
“Two testimonies: The first is that on February 2nd, I came late for the Holy Ghost Service. After the service, I went to see Daddy in his office and he said he wanted to pray for me. My wife, Dolly, and I knelt down as he prayed, ‘Father, I want you to give special protection to your son.’
“He prayed that three times and stopped. Then he prayed it again.”
“I was getting worried about why he had to pray that way. But anyway, later that day the helicopter I was travelling in crashed in Kabba. All 12 of us in the helicopter survived without a scratch. I want to bless the name of the Lord for that.”
“My second testimony is that on February 23, I was re-elected with President Buhari, for a second term as Vice President and I want to praise the Lord. Praise Jesus. Who did it?”
‘Jesus!’ The congregation roared.
The wife of the general overseer, Folu Adeboye, had earlier offered her usual prayers for all nations, during which she specifically thanked God for the largely peaceful presidential and National Assembly elections.
