Shotola Ruth :
In life and in death, we are God's own. One thing I know is that everybody will die. Death is not a punishment. It doesn't matter who you are; everybody will die. What matters is how you lived your life and the account you will give when you stand before God.
I don't know why Toluwanising's story affects me this deeply, but seeing all the news flying around about his death and his wife is heartbreaking. I believe it hurts because when one believer is hurting, the rest of us should feel that pain too. We are one body in Christ, one family. I never met this man, but I saw how he trusted God, where he started from and how God helped him make a name for himself.
You could see from his worship that he was always praising God, exalting Him and declaring that no power can be compared to God's power. Through his music, he constantly proclaimed God's greatness. He was basically mocking the devil, reminding him that he had no power compared to God. He spent his lifetime declaring the sovereignty and greatness of God, and I believe he has been crowned for a job well done.
Now, do you think the devil will leave his family alone? Of course not! The enemy will try to manipulate situations, create confusion and see how he can break the family he left behind. But the devil is a liar. He has failed, and he will continue to fail. This family will stand, his wife will be strengthened, and his children will fulfil their destinies in Jesus' name.
We may not understand why death took him so soon, just when he was beginning to enjoy the fruits of his labour. But we trust God, even when we don't understand His ways.
What I find disgusting is how interviewers and bloggers are carrying unverified stories, setting up cameras and talking about things they know nothing about. Election is coming. So many things are not working in Nigeria. Take those cameras to Aso Rock. Question the politicians. Ask why our healthcare system is failing, why graduates are unemployed and why Nigerians are suffering. Use that same energy to hold our leaders accountable instead of intimidating and bullying a woman who is still grieving the man she hoped to grow old with. Haa eniyan ni delilah o.
