DID GOD FAIL PASTOR ADEBOYE? HOW COULD HIS SON DIE?
First, I want to extend my deepest condolences to the family (biological and spiritual) of the late Pastor Dare Adeboye. He is in a better place.
Interesting questions about his demise birthed this #thread #PstIrensaid

Incidents like these reveal the urgent need for believers to return to doctrinal fundamentals. Have we understood what REALLY makes us Christians?
See, when you pray for a dead believer to rise, you are praying a prayer that has already been answered. It’s only a matter of WHEN.

Yes, Jesus RAISED Lazarus from the dead (John 11), but as proof that He is the RESURRECTION, and ALL (not just Lazarus) who believe, will rise again when He comes (verse 25,26). SALVATION, not miracles, is God’s FINAL solution to death. It’s prayer already answered for believers
Do I believe the dead can rise today? Absolutely. I’ve found it true biblically Matthew 9:18-26 Acts 9:32-43, 20:7-12 and practically (story for later). But unlike the abundant records of other Bible miracles, not up to 10 people were raised from the dead in the entire Bible!
That’s not an affront to the power of God at all, but because charismatic gifts were NEVER meant to replace the NECESSITY of the gospel. If we simply raised all who died, there are two issues 1. It’s temporal: they still grow old and die again 2. Why then did Jesus need to come?
Being a Christian is believing the radical idea that TO DIE IS GAIN. God's primary offering is not supernatural preservation “here”, but eternal security “there”.
The gospel is this; DEATH IS NO LONGER A TRAGEDY FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS. Phil. 1:21, John 3:16.

The gospel is not an excuse we give during burials!!!! It’s the truth! We can’t keep preaching eternal life fervently and act cheated when one of us attains it!
No doubt, we miss men and women who “sleep” BUT we mourn different! We mourn in HOPE.

Plus Paul didn’t say: “concerning them which sleep, aren’t you using your authority enough?”. Instead he reaffirmed their hope in the gospel (1 Thess. 4:13-18). It’s immature to think Pastor Adeboye must have done or not done something for his son to die.
Also, God showed mercy to Hezekiah by adding 15years to his days when he should have died. Sometimes, it is by the mercy of God that some people even lived as long as they did. But those “outside” won’t know that. And how ungrateful they’d be to get grumble. Selah.
Final word; Thanks be to God, “who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace... in Christ Jesus...who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel” Amen! 2 Tim 1:9-10
