His death shocked the whole world as well-meaning persons including presidents, governors, and personalities condole the 79-year-old general overseer and his wife over the death of their son.

Preaching from John 6: 5-13, the older Adeboye stressed on the importance of the bread and wine of Holy Communion.
The clergyman spoke from the studio of the church’s station Dove media while members of the church gathered at the auditorium along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Adeboye, in his sermon, said, “The bread multiplied in the hands of the disciples, as you receive the bread, it will multiply in your hands.”
After his message, the officiating Minister at the auditorium 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.
