Recounting how God rescued her from death and saved her life, Pastor (Mrs) Faith Abiola Oyedepo wrote in her book, Rescued from Destruction “Precisely, between the last week of June and the first week of July 2004, my husband and I, in the company of some other ministers in our Ministry took off on the first mission outreach for the year within the country, and, of course, we were aboard the new ministry aircraft. On this particular trip, we were scheduled to cover about five cities within the nation, namely Kaduna, Jos, Kano, Abuja and Ilorin – all in different states”.

She further wrote “On one of those nights, I slept and woke up with pain on my left shoulder. I thought it was just an ordinary pain, but because I had learnt not to tak things for granted, I anointed it and tried to ignore it, but it persisted. So, I decided to mention it to my husband, who immediately prayed for me. I then called one of the ministers’ wives in one of the stations to massage the shoulder for me with a balm and she did Surprisingly, rather than the pain subsiding, or the shoulder getting better, the pain increased and got worse by the day, I came head to head with death, sometimes practically seeing the angel of death at my door, waiting to carry out his evil mission, but death lost the battle over my life”.
