Indeed life is not what we can predict and brak off because we do not know what the next minute is holding. This was the rally we as colleagues in photography went to last week and you can find that post on my page to see how the rally went.

Our union went to the mutuary very early to wait for the brief family to come and the chairman thanked members for coming to humor their colleague's burial.

A young man whose death was felt by the masses especially the Assemblies of God church where he worshiped.

His death had taught many a lesson to change from their evil ways and learn how to do good to people at all times. Today Late Mr. Destiny has gone to rest with the Lord but the question is: how prepared are you if Mr. Death should knock at your door today?

Reading of biography

Many of us have lived a useless life that is not worthy of emulation not to even talk of people remembering you because of your good works when we are no more!

During this burial ceremony, the man of God took his text from Genesis 2:16 and 17. He emphasizes how God gave commandmentnt not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil for the day thou shall eat of it, thou shall surely die.

He also stresses the point where men will be showing up as if they are God but forget that the key to life and death is in the hand of the creator. His message was titled "Mr. Dust" for we were made by dust and to dust we return.

However, he also stressed about the two types of death we have but more emphasis was placed on a Christian death knowing that you are going to meet with our creator and there is no pain anymore because it's appointed for man to die once!

The family

After the message, the man of God had to raise some funds to enable the four kids whom he survived to at least have a secondary education. The amount was from #100,000, #50,000 down to a thousand Naira.

People gave sincerely and that was how funds were raised by the church for the family. Immediately after this, the Pastor called the family for prayers and the Mike was handed over to another pastor to pray for them.

When he collected the Mike, tears ran through his cheek and he said, I was the best man for Mr. Destiny 18 years ago during his wedding. His morning wife started crying and all were filled with tears but he prayed and immediately after this prayer, the gasket was opened as too many queued up to see the coups.

Late Mr. Destiny's wife crying

When his wife came and saw her husband, she couldn't hold it and they ordered the gasket to be closed. As the photographers association took the gasket to the graveside.

Below are some of the pictures

In conclusion, I felt the pain that death caused the young man by leaving four kids and his wife behind when they are still tender.

The message the man of God gave made so many remain humble despite what they had achieved in life! Remember he said you are Mr. Dust because man was made from it and there shall man return.

Thank you very much and I hope you found value. Tell me in the comment section what you would have felt losing a young man of 43 years old?
