Anthony Joshua’s survival in a fatal auto crash has been attributed to the potent mercies of God. This assertion was made by Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
The revered man of God cited the role of divine mercies in the preservation of the Boxing legend in the ghastly motor accident. He stated this during the January edition of the monthly thanksgiving service of the church.
The crash claimed the lives of two of his friends — Ayodele Kelvin, a 36-year-old Nigerian-British citizen, and Gami Sina, also 36, a British citizen — while others sustained injuries.
“Lamentations 3:22–23 says it is by the mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed. We are alive because of the mercies of the Lord, not because of cleverness.”
“I read in the newspapers yesterday that our boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, exchanged seats with someone before the accident.
“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
“I have informed us in the past that whenever something is very important to David, he uses the singular to express himself. When you hear him say, ‘The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,’ it is personal.
“I want you to take this message personally. Maybe one or two people can join me in attaching meaning to it. I am talking to myself,” he said.
