Joshua died on Saturday, a month after the demise of the younger Adeboye. The synagogue preacher had suffered a stroke two months ago.

Speaking at a service after the death of the younger Adeboye, the SCOAN founder said it is how well an individual lives that matters and not how long.

Joshua prayed to God to comfort the Adeboye family and strengthen the RCCG ministry.

“Let us use this opportunity to remember our pastor’s son. God does not need our permit, God’s time is the best. It is not how long that matters but how well. It is not how long we live that matters but how well we live,” he said.

“Let us pray for the family. Pray that the Holy Spirit, our Comforter, will strengthen the family and the ministry. Let us observe a moment of silence in remembrance of Pastor Dare Adeboye.”

After a moment of silence was held in honour of Dare Adeboye, Joshua said: “The Lord should strengthen the family and the ministry in Jesus Christ’s name. Thank you Lord.”
