“When
I marked 70 and people prayed that I would be up to 80, I said amen. When they
said I would be up 90, I said well, amen. But when they said 100, I didn’t say
amen. I didn’t because I don’t know what offense I would have
committed for God to keep me up to 100 in this sinful world when a crown
of glory is awaiting me in heaven. I wouldn’t mind to be 92 though, so
that I will be alive to preach when Bishop Oyedepo is 80. But to live up to
100, I don’t know about that”
