However, there was one who prayed that he should live up to 100 years, but the pastor said he didn't answer.

Pastor Adeboye said one of the prayers asked that he should live up to 120 years and he said he was not wishing such a thing to happen.

One of the prayer points which he outrightly rejected was when someone prayed that he should live to be 140 years of age.

He said he totally rejected the idea, noting that there are many troubles in this world.

Adeboye said:

"When I was 70 years old. Some children of mine began to pray for me. And the said daddy, you will live to be 80, I said amen. You will live to be 90, I said amen. They said you will live to be 100, I didn't answer them. And then one fellow got excited and said you will live to be 120, I said na lie. What will God say I have done wrong? I have been here for 70 years, he will now keep me here for another 50 years? In this world? Where today you have electricity, tomorrow you don't have? But there was one lady who got really excited, and said you will live to be 140, I said no be me."

The video which was shared on TikTok by @shekinahglory_tv has gone viral and attracted many comments.

In a comment sent to Legit.ng, a Catholic priest, Reverend Father Oselumhense Anetor who is the priest in charge of St Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Ahia and Udakpa, Ubiaja Esan South East LGA of Edo state said it might be impossible to live up to 140.

His words:

"The Bible says 70 years is the lifespan of man, and 80 for those who are strong. In truth, longevity can be largely determined by one's lifestyle, one's choices, and one's belief systems. But ultimately, God grants us longevity. Anyone saying he wants to be 140 knows that's almost biologically impossible, given life expectancy ratio in many parts of the world today. Furthermore, no one prays to be here forever, for the earth is not our home, we're only passing through."
