I Felt Coldness A Sign Of Byebye, Ruth Matetes Tribute to husband

Gospel artiste Ruth Matete paid a moving tribute to her loving husband Pastor John Apewajoye during his burial ceremony. The Msaada Wangu hitmaker, eulogized her husband as a God-fearing and kind man.

Paying her tribute, Matete recounted how she felt a strange coldness the time her husband passed away only for the hospital to call her in the morning and confirm the sad news.

‘I REMEMBER YOU GOT IN PRAYERS AND FASTING FOR THE SAME THING AND ON THE THIRD DAY OF PRAYING THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. MY LOVE, I HAD NOT SEEN IT COMING. I WAS CONFIDENT THAT GOD WOULD HEAL YOU AND BRING YOU BACK TO ME. I REMEMBER ON GOOD FRIDAY WHEN I SAW YOU AT THE HOSPITAL AND YOU COULDN’T TALK, I GOT WORRIED BUT STILL WAS HOLDING UNTO FAITH. I GOT HOME THAT NIGHT AND MADE THIS PRAYER I SAID, “GOD PLEASE HEAL MY HUSBAND AS YOU RESURRECT ON SUNDAY PLEASE LET THE HOSPITAL BED NOT CONTAIN HIM GIVE HIM A NEW SKIN, NEW KIDNEYS AND HEAL HIM TO EVERY PART OF HIS BODY”. I SAW YOU THE NEXT DAY WHICH WAS A SATURDAY AND LEFT AROUND 4 PM,’ RUTH RECOUNTED.

She continued,

AT AROUND 8:30PM THAT NIGHT I FELT A STRANGE COLDNESS IN MY BODY ALL OF A SUDDEN. I WAS AT MY UNCLE’S PLACE. THEY COVERED ME AND I LAY ON A SEAT FOR ABOUT 10 MINS. I THOUGHT I WAS EXHAUSTED FROM RUNNING UP AND DOWN NOW I KNOW YOU WERE SAYING GOODBYE. I WENT ON TO SLEEP AND THE FOLLOWING MORNING I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE HOSPITAL AT AROUND 6AM THAT I WAS NEEDED THERE. I’LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I KNEW RIGHT THEN THAT YOU HAD GONE TO BE WITH THE LORD. I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL AND IT WAS CONFIRMED YOU WENT TO BE WITH THE LORD ON APRIL 11 AT 8:30 PM.

Adding,

B, IT HURTS SO MUCH. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE YOU DIED WHILE GROWING. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT GOD WAS SO UNFAIR BUT LATER ON, I REMEMBERED THE PRAYER I MADE TO GOD TO HEAL YOU COMPLETELY TO TAKE AWAY THE PAIN AND TO RESSURECT WITH YOU, I DIDN’T MEAN IT THAT WAY. DID I PRAY THE WRONG PRAYER? I’LL NEVER KNOW. ALL I KNOW IS I JUST WANTED TO HAVE YOU BACK HOME HEALED. GOD HAS ANSWERED MY PRAYER. IT MAY NOT BE THE ANSWER I EXPECTED OR WANTED BUT ITS WHAT I ASKED FOR. YOU ARE NO LONGER IN PAIN AND NEVER EVER WILL YOU BE. I KNOW YOU’RE HAPPY WHEREVER YOU ARE. EVEN IF I ASKED YOU TO COME BACK TO ME YOU WOULDN’T WANT TO. I MEAN WHO WANTS TO COME BACK TO A WORLD OF SO MUCH PAIN, A WORLD OF WEARING MASKS COZ OF CORONA.

AS HARD AS IT HAS BEEN MY LOVE, I HAVE ACCEPTED GOD’S WILL, IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE NOW BUT I’M CERTAIN IT WILL SOMEDAY. HE’S NOT A WICKED GOD. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I’LL CONTINUE WITH THE MINISTRY WE HAD STARTED COZ I KNOW YOU’LL WANT ME TO.
