“LAST YEAR, SOME PROPHETS SAID THEY SAW MY PLANE DROPPING FROM THE SKY.
MY DESTINY IS NOT IN THE HAND OF ANY PROPHET OR PILOT.”
— Pastor E. A. Adeboye
If I tell you that by the grace of God I will see the year that is coming—and we are just at the beginning of it—it is because I know Someone is in charge of my destiny.
I cannot die until He says it is time.
I was telling some pastors—sometime last year, around May—that I was travelling to Japan. And some prophets came and said they saw my plane dropping from the sky.
I said, “Na lie!”
I was going to Japan because I promised them back in 2018 that I would come. COVID didn’t allow me then, but now I was going.
You saw a plane dropping? That’s fine. Not my plane.
On the way, we were to stop in Oman. I had my visa before leaving home. When I got there—remember, we even have churches in Oman—they cancelled my visa.
The devil whispered, “You see now? You’d better go back home.”
I said, “I’m not going back home.”
I slept at the airport. The next day, I continued my journey.
From Oman to Japan was about ten and a half hours. Perfectedlight. Halfway through the flight, the pilot came out. Anytime you see the pilot in the cabin, just know something serious is happening—because normally, you never see the pilot.
He didn’t speak to me. He went to the back of the plane.
Later, I was told that one of the fuses supplying power to parts of the aircraft had blown.
Again, the devil whispered, “You were warned.”
I just smiled.
What did I do? I slept.
My destiny is not in the hands of any prophet.
My destiny is not in the hands of any pilot.
My destiny is in the hands of the One who made me who I am—
the One who is not only the Alpha, but also the Omega.
In the air, there is no parking space for repairs.
If anything goes wrong, it’s over to God.
And if He decides to take me from the sky to heaven—well, that’s a shorter journey.
Now tell me—
How many of you believe your tomorrow will be alright?
How many of you know it’s not because of your cleverness, but because of the mercies of the Lord?
If you believe it, let me hear you shout another HALLELUJAH!
