A Nigerian clergyman, Ezekiel Atang, has died, IGBERETV
reports.
Atang who was a popular relationship and marriage
counselor, died on Monday, 21st February 2022, three weeks
to his 50th birthday.
Atang had sent out souvenirs and a letter to his friends
inviting them to his 50th birthday party in Akwa Ibom on
March 14.
Recently, he attended a 3-day church program in Onitsha and
had to sit on a chair to minister on the last day of the
program. He died the following day.
In his last ministration, he said several things prevented him
from coming for the church service, including a sharp pain he
had on his chest. He ignored all the challenges to attend the
service.
In his words,
“Several things stopped me from coming today. First was last
night. I had a very severe chest pain that I could not lie down.
So, I sat down till morning and prayed. So, I said okay, I will still
come. And then, the vehicle matter happened in the road. So, I
asked the Lord, “is this a sign that I shouldn’t come, or is there
someone the devil is battling…”
His friend and clergyman, Kingsley Okonkwo, shared photos
of the invitation letter Atang had sent out to friends and
wrote;
”My brother and my friend, my partner in family life
mandate to the body of christ
You left an indelible mark, and unforgettable legacy, you
spoke with clarity and conviction, loved by all, we will
definitely miss you
I received the invitation to your 50th birthday celebration
same day you went to be with the Lord
I’m happy I spoke to you and saw you a few days before
you went to be with the Lord, we love you – you will never
be forgotten on this side.
@ezekiel.atang”
