With the news of the death of his son, Dare at 42 still fresh and trending, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Church of God, RCCG, on Thursday, ensured he kept to his schedule to preach at the Holy Communion Service of the Church.
According to reports, Pastor Adeboye was seen for the first time on Thursday after the news of his son, Dare’s death on Tuesday May 4, 202.
The death of Dare in his sleep in Eket, Akwa Ibom State, actually became public on Thursday. The RCCG formally issued a confirmatory statement on the incident on Thursday.
The Holy Communion Service, at which Pastor E.A. Adeboye presided, is a monthly programme of the RCCG.
The May edition of the programme was themed “Overflowing Blessings.”
The respected cleric, who has been receiving condolences since Thursday morning from across the world, appeared somewhat visibly shaken as he officiated in the Holy Communion service from the studio of the church’s television ministry, DOVE Media.
From the studio he spoke to church members gathered across the world.
He drew his message from John 6: 5-13 as he harped on the relevance of the bread and the wine as symbols of communion.
“The bread multiplied in the hands of the disciples, as you receive the bread, it will multiply in your hands.”
After his sermon, one of the leaders of the church who took over after the sermon to the congregation in the auditorium at the Redemption Camp, said:
“Tonight, daddy has prayed for us. He has also prayed on all the elements that we are going to use – the bread and the wine. I am here not standing in for him because I am too small to stand in for him; I am only here to deliver the message as a messenger.
“He could have been here physically as he used to but due to circumstances beyond (his) control, he was not able to be here but to the Glory of God, he has said to us, Jesus is here and he is also there praying for us,” he said of the decision by Adeboye to preach from the DOVE Television studio
