”If this is winning, why does it come with so much pain? One day, God will answer this question for me”- Pastor Laurie Idahosa writes as she mourns Pastor Nomthi Odukoya

Clergywoman, Pastor Laurie Idahosa, has taken to social media to mourn her friend and colleague, Pastor Nomthi Odukoya, who died on Tuesday, November 9, after battling cancer for two years.

Mrs Idahosa in the post she shared expressed her love for Nomthi. She mentioned that some people would say Nomthi’s death means she won in Christ, the cleric however wondered why winning in Christ has to be painful adding that someday, God will answer this for her.

In her words;

”I loved her. My friend, my sister, my “fellow immigrant,” as we used to call each other. We have too many happy memories together to recount. She’s someone I could call on anytime and she would be there for me. I tried my best to be that same kind of friend to her.When she told me about her cancer, almost 2 years ago during the early days of Covid, I held back the tears.

“I swallowed them as best I could, while showing her a strong front and being her prayer partner. She was strong, she was resolute, she fought… and some will say she won, because she’s now with Jesus.If this is winning, why does it come with so much pain? One day, God will answer this question for me.Our prayers are steadfast with Pastor Taiwo @pastortaiwo and the entire family. May God comfort all who knew and loved her. To know her was to love her.”
