Great Woman of God! The mother of my dear friend and Brother, Chinedu John Joshua Obodo. Sister and sister-in law to my fathers and mothers in the faith. Aunt to an innumerable company of vibrant Youths, a chunk of whom are known to me personally. A combination of so many awesome, positive values and virtues! Woman with so many positive parts! Christian, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Pastor, Teacher!
To refer to you in the past is a pill so painfully forced down the throats of all who loved and admired your godly mien.
What a life lived and spent in and for our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!
In the Bible, Joshua and David spoke of the way of all the earth (Joshua 23:14; 1st Kings 2:2)! It is now a reality before us, by the translation of our dear mother.
Thankfully, the story of this Woman of inestimable values and virtues will not end in "the way of all the earth".
Paul spoke of death being swallowed up in victory. He put it in 1st Corinthians 15:54, thus:
"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."
Woman of God, death is swallowed up in victory already on your account. You did not die like mortals do; you changed address! You were translated! We shall see again, as none of God's children see themselves for the last time. Never!
Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord, till we meet to part no more.
Everyone, be comforted.
God is still on His throne.
It is well.
