Oh , this is so painful and very hard to bear. I tried all i could to stop the tears rolling down my cheeck but lo and behold, the tears refused to stop. It was like a running river that never dries from its source.PASTOR LONGINUS OPARA is gone. I never belive it until i got to his village named UBANU in Owerri,imo state to give him the last befitting burial ceremony. How can i hold myself from such a painful exit and tears coming from the source unexplanable.

What a dearing and loving legend
Thd man of truth
His yes is yes and his no is no
Very caring and determined man of valour
The dignity and ambassador of the gospel
The man that had pastor the youth for years and gives hope to the hopeless youth in the church
He is always after heavenly things
He never tire of SAYING THANK YOU JESUS even at the point of death
What an emulated worthy life
All his words revive souls and hopeless are rest minded
Oh death, you are so wicked
If death has eyes,he suppose to see and identify good people and let them live while he goes to kills the wicked ones.

I always remember this song whenever i remember his painful death. The song is in my dialet,so apology to non yorubas. It goes thus:
a o pade lese Jesu
Nibiti ,akoni yara wa
Ao rira wa,ao yo mara wa
Jesu niyio se alaga

oh death,where is your sting
Oh grave where is your victory

All though,my youth pastor has gone to reat in the bossom of Almighty ,i beleive we shall see again sooner than later.

MAY HIS GENTLE SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE.
