Man mourns death of Nkechi Ene
In his post, he genuinely grieved and expressed concern for the wellbeing of those in ministry who continue to push themselves despite the toll it may take on their health.
The man, identified as @rowhaastrup on X, described the news as deeply painful and used the moment to raise an alarm over the demanding nature of pastoral work.
He pointed out that some religious leaders frequently dedicate themselves completely to their calling, often forgetting that their bodies need rest and recovery.
According to him, the constant physical and emotional demands eventually wear them down when their strength can no longer keep up with the pressure.
While mourning the late pastor, he urged that ministers of the gospel should learn to prioritise rest in order to protect their health and continue their work effectively.

In his words:
"This is very sad. One thing I always say is Pastors overstretch themselves too much without giving themselves enough rest.
"Pastors really need to be resting. They do so so much & don’t get enough rest. This flesh gives way when it can’t take it anymore. I pray that God comfort & strengthen Pastor Nkechi Ene’s family at this difficult hour. Amen."

"You're very right. We are all travelling home this weekend to go and make sure our dad doesn't go out for 3days at least, he doesn't rest at all because of the church and his people. I'll be the one holding the key to his car and the gate. May her soul rest in peace."

"This is really sad. One important thing we fail to notice is how stressful traveling can be. On my last trip, I got home 1am Sunday morning, still went to church that day and then to work the next day. I fell ill immediately on Tuesday."

"Unbelievable! This is sad. I grew up watching her teach on Fresh Dew TV every Saturday morning, I don't miss her broadcast. It's well with her family and church members."
