I shared this last year at a time when eyes were loaded with tears and hearts with grief. At death everything the departed was, stays the same - Pastor Ewuzie’s character and credibility remains untainted by sadness.
As 365 days have rolled by, I share again in hope that it would wipe tears and brighten hearts...
Many thanks to the Redeemed Christian Church of God. Many thanks to RCCG Olive Tree (OT). Many thanks to the Redeemers International Leadership Academy (RILA). Many thanks to family and friends for the ceremonies so far in honour of Pastor Ebenezer Chimezie Ewuzie.
I was in New Estate Baptist Church around the time himself and Pastor Pitan were there. I was a child. We give glory to God for the Nigeria Baptist Convention (NBC), a ministry that has done so much to train giants of FAITH.
Our paths crossed prominently in OT when Pastor Ben was saddled with the responsibility of coordinating OT’s contribution towards the partnership with Divine Connection (a ministry to mature singles) for Harvest Of Marriages Empowerment Summit (HOMES) in 2013. Other partners include Throne of Grace, Tabernacle of David and The Covenant House. I did not have to lobby him or wait on him, despite the fact that OT would be host. His commitment to the success of the programme was highly commendable, every part knitted so well like we met regularly for meeting. His selfless service led to overflowing blessings for many mature singles.
In 2013, Pastor Ben was part of the team that organised a graceful well coordinated Service of Songs and Funeral Service for my beloved, Bola Omoteso. I got to the church and saw the choir dressed in a robe that depicted my favourite colour - wine. This was exactly 3 years and 10 months to his own home call.
I look back and give thanks for the gift of Pastor Ebenezer Chimezie Akujuobi Alachulam Abundance Ewuzie to the world especially the body of Jesus Christ.
What legacy will you leave? His 58 years of life has become a sermon to me and you.
Pastor Ben left an unparalleled legacy. He fast tracked his race and completed it well to receive a crown of glory that never fades. He lives on in his works, his wife and children. God has a perfect way of keeping them in His loving care. I know He will raise destiny helpers for them beyond our human imagination in Jesus name.
My charge to you - family, church and friends, is that his widow and children must NOT be abused. If you truly loved him or were a beneficiary of his service, keep them in your prayers and on your agenda.
May the hearts that would wish them suffering know pain. May the hearts that would see to their healing, comfort and celebration know peace. #EndWidowAbuse
