Reactions as lawyer mourns late pastor

@Stevechampmusic said:

"Chai! May his soul rest in peace. I went to one of Rev. Uma Ukpai’s crusades back then, held at All saints cathedral church open field Onitsha. That was my first time to see a lame man walk right before my two eyes. It was like a movie to me because I hear those miracles in the Bible but have never seen it happen to anyone in real life. It went ahead to reinforce my curiosity about “the place of faith and the supernatural in birthing the miraculous amongst mortals”. It made me believe that what we see in the scriptures were never a feeble story. It’s real for those who stepped into that realm of existence. Those miracles as well as some I am currently seeing with pastor Jerry Eze’s platforms birthed one of my songs I am currently producing titled “it’s a reality. Men, supernatural existence is dam.n real, not just a mere story."
