NUJ Burial committee while Emeka Arince
immediate past secretary of NUJ Anambra council anchored the event while
Evangelist H.O Alukwu took the living to the cleaners that everybody was sure
that time allocated to him to speak was short.
He indeed reinforced the believe in some circles that death
is the end of every mortal and all the showmanship at burial means nothing if one
did not while alive give his or her life to Jesus Christ. He reminded every mortal that whatever we do
we are nothing but pencils in the hands of he creature. He pointed out that the
bragging , intelligence and arrogance means nothing without the Grace of God
adding that one is nothing without God’s grace hence nobody is a self made.
He was ready to take many souls to Christ based on personal
conviction and many indeed surrendered , and he gave them pamphlet that read, ’’now
that you have received Christ’’ as a guide to Jesus Christ in true repentance.
