Kenechukwu 15th May 2020

Aaaaaah, Chizo nwanne m, I'm at loss for word. All through that very weekend of Sat. 9th and Sun. 10th May 2020, there was an unusual heaviness in my heart, I knew something wasn't right somewhere, but I'd simply thought it was just me or the pressure of life and ministry, more so as I also had a slightly more familiar burden on my spirit to do yet another recording for the GOSPEL ON THE GO ONLINE BROADCAST that same weekend. I recall having a brief chat with a dear friend of mine in the evening of Sunday of that same weekend, and how my friend had immediately sensed that something wasn't right with me, perhaps my texts to her during that chat had revealed the heaviness in my heart to her, and I remember how she had tried to encourage me, telling me things like "oh be strong in the Lord...don't allow the Devil to weigh you down...continue with the good work you're already online etc" I thanked her for the encouragement, but yet my heart didn't feel any better within me, something was still so very awfully wrong somewhere; what could this be, I'd asked myself, but no reasonable answer from anywhere within my soul. Then shortly before midnight that same Sunday, I set up my camera for the recording, the heaviness in my heart was still there, but only temporarily subdued by that other burden in my spirit to get the message that the Lord had given me out and ready for the new week. Recording ended in about 20 mins, and I forced myself to go to sleep despite the tormenting heaviness in my heart; it wasn't until the following day that information filtered in that you had stepped to the other side of eternity on Sunday evening, and there, right there was the explanation to all that heaviness that I'd felt the whole of that weekend. Chizo, I've had to ask myself some questions since after that Monday morning that I got the information, questions that I did not, still do not and may never have answers to, but Chizo nwanne m, I'm certain about a few very important things concerning you; you were a child of God, you loved the Lord your Maker, you embrace him so strongly, you worshipped him in spirit and truth and fervency, you followed him single-heartedly, you served him diligently, you loved you work here on earth, you loved people around you, and you lived a good life here on Earth. People usually say something like "you can't be too sure of anything..." but it's not true, and especially in your own case, because there's no doubt on the mind of anyone and everyone that truly knew you, that you were straight on your way to be with the Lord your Maker. Fare thee well dear child of God, see you again bright, beautiful and early at the Dawn of Glory. Amen!!! Your Cousin Kene Fredrick Egbuchunam
