General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has narrated how God rescued him from going to hell in 1973 when he heeded the altar call and gave his life to God.

Speaking at the Thanksgiving Service held at the RCCG Headquarters at the Throne of Grace, Ebute Metta, Lagos with the theme; “ Songs of Victory” on Sunday, Adeboye said the song a man sings will determine what he’s passing through.

He urged worshippers who thronged the venue and those watching online to praise God with all their hearts from for His wonderful works in their lives from January till now.

Drawing references from Hannah experience after God gave her Samuel after being barren for many years in the Bible according to 1 Samuel, chapter 2 verses 1–2, Adeboye said it was there the popular song, ‘ Who is like thee, Oh, Lord was taken’

He, however, said King David had to compose a song in Plasm 18 when God help him to conquer all his enemies.

Adeboye said it’s very important for one to be a friend of God so that God will fight for him without having to lift a finger.

He said; “ I thought I was doing fine. A young man and a lecturer in the University. I have built a house and I have a car. I have a wife and children. I never knew I was on my way to hell before I eventually met God in 1973. And that is why I have imported ‘hallelujah’ to all my songs when I realized how close I was to hell before God redeemed me.
