With hearts filled with profound reverence and enduring gratitude for a life well-spent, the General Overseer of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, on behalf of the Pastors and esteemed members of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement, expresses condolences and at same time praising the triumphant homegoing of a dearly beloved father in the faith, Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai, who departed recently to glory.Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.”Rev. Ukpai’s call to glory is the fulfilment of a life of faith and the gateway to eternal rest. As a true General in God’s Army, he stood as a towering figure in global evangelism. He was a tireless preacher of the Gospel and a mighty vessel through whom God’s power transformed nations and positively impacted the Body of Christ. His exemplary life stands as a powerful testament to the Apostle Paul’s triumphant declaration: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:7)While we feel the pang of his absence here on earth, our spirits rejoice in his victory. For we believe that this Lord’s General has entered into the promised joy of the Master. Although his earthly voice might be silent, but surely his profound legacy of zeal, and commitment to winning souls will continue to echo across generations.We extend our deepest, heartfelt condolences to his wife, children, and the entire family. May the God of all comfort envelop them with His peace and strengthen them with the assurance that a hero of faith has been joyously received into glory. Our consolation is enshrined in 1Thes, 4: 14, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him”Thus, there is life after death, and we shall meet again to part no more.
