The Senior Pastor of Trinity House Church,
Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, preached on Sunday at a funeral a few hours after his
wife, Ibidun die.
His lovely wife died around 2am on
Sunday in Port-Harcourt where she was constructing an Isolation centre for the
state Government.
But despite his personal grief, Ighodalo
proceeded to deliver a short brief at the funeral of a 25-year-old son of Biola
Okoya, Adedeji.
In a composed but emotional tone, the
bereaved cleric said: “Everywhere tensed, confused frightening and disturbing
but here we are today. “I mean if they had told us last week that we would be
here to celebrating Ayodeji’s life, I would say it’s not possible. He was ill,
no doubt! But, we were believing God that he would be well.
“But, here we are right now and there he
is and of course, a lot of you know that I really shouldn’t be here but that’s
how life is.”
On his deceased wife, he said: “2
o’clock this morning, I received news that shattered my life but life must go
on, and here we are today. So, I have just come to speak to us very peacefully
on something I have called Life. Life! Life! Life!
“Life is a deep mystery. There’s no one
human being no matter how wise they are like Solomon who can say to you that
they fully understand life.
“The Bible says: we see in part; we
understand in part, we prophesy in part and he says most of the times we see
like in a dark valley but there is going to come a time when we will see
clearly as Jesus sees. Life is a mystery and let us accept the mystery of life.
