The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has attributed British-Nigerian boxing champion Anthony Joshua’s survival in a fatal auto crash to what he described as the mercy of God. Adeboye spoke on Sunday during the church’s monthly thanksgiving service, while illustrating the role of divine mercy in preservation, citing Joshua’s accident. While explaining the value of God’s mercy in preservation, Adeboye said, “Lamentations 3:22–23 says it is by the mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed. “The people he exchanged seats with died. I don’t know why, but the mercy of God said someone would still be alive today,” he said.
