Tribute To Dr Myles Munroe
Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O
death, is your sting? 1Corinthians 15:55
But thanks be to
God! He gives us the victory
Through our Lord
Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:7
As God’s children our sorrow always leads to repentance which in turn
causes us to draw closer to God our Father through Jesus. As such the news of
the exit of any one of us from this part of God’s kingdom is a celebration
under the pretence of sorrow.
Knowing that death has no power over us, because Jesus took away it’s victory the day He went to the cross on our
behalf.
This is why I can boldly declare in the midst of the sad news of your
unexpected exit from this part of God’ kingdom that indeed “ Thanks be to God! For
what? You may want to ask. For giving us
the victory over death which is total separation from God due to sin by the
single act of Jesus’ work on the cross.
Although we may miss you this
minute due to our own selfish nature of thinking you could have lived a bit
longer, but who are we to decide that when we re not God the all knowing King? Who are we to tell God when to recall any of
His generals when the soul of all men belongs to Him?
Thanks for the years you spent with
us, and thanks for the wisdom you shared with us.
just few weeks ago after finished praying, and my eyes where open the
Spirit of God directed my eyes towards a copy of your book “Rediscovering the
Kingdom” sitting among a pile of books
from other authors on a desk in my room.
As soon as my eyes came in contact with it, I Could hear in my spirit
the nudging of God through His Spirit saying to me. “Pick and read again” Pick
and read again Lord? But why because I
have read this particular book before and if I’m not mistaken, I have read it
more than once?
This Was my response to the gentle
nudging of The Holy Spirit that soon became very strong and convincing to me the
need for me to re read this particular book of yours. And for the record Bro.
Myles, I did pick it up and read it again, and just like I have always done. I
also loan it to another brother of mine. I wish I could tell why God through
His Spirit wanted me to re- read your book just couple of weeks before your
unannounced exit. Dr. Myles you have been
a source of inspiration to me and I will truly miss your wisdom and ability to
inspire thoughts and ideas that are capable of starting a fire with a flame
large enough to affect everyone around me. You are truly one of God’s Apostles
especially to your generation and ours.
I could recall the last time I saw you ministering at a seminar and how
you got some of us to come out so you could pray for us as ministers. I could
recall the passion and humility in which you poured out your heart in prayer to
God the one and only wise king while praying for us.
Brother Myles, concerning your sudden exit from this part of God’s kingdom
like you have always taught us through your messages, books and tapes I can
only say but one thing and that is, it is well. I will never forget the first
time I read your book “ The burden of
freedom ”and how it revolutionalized
my thinking regarding the subject of freedom. I’m pretty sure God used you to
set free so many captives who thought they were free by be bound by their own
lack of responsibility towards freedom. Like
you truly stated; “Freedom is not the
liberty to do as one pleases , but the
ability to be responsible to do what is right
when no one is watching ”
Bro. Myles, do you know the reason why I didn’t have your autograph in any copy of your books that I have
presently? I’m sure the Wise one Himself, the only One that is indispensable
must have told you by now, because I’m pretty sure you’re with Him as I pay my
tribute to you.
Any way I ‘m still going to tell you, the reason was because the impact
your book “ The Burden of freedom”
had on me was so great that , I found my self lending it to as many people I
believe it could be of help to and could not afford to buy a copy of their own
due to it not been available at the book stores around after I my self had
personally looked for it and later had to place an order to get my own copy.
The book was no where to be found when I needed you to autograph it because the
last person I lent it to never returned it and by the time I rushed out to get
another copy of your book so you could autograph it you were already gone, just
like you have done now when so many of us where actually expecting your arrival
at the venue of the Leadership Conference / Seminar you have put together.
Oh , how I wish that this news concerning your exit from this earth is
nothing but mere speculations. Don’t get me wrong, I know to be absent from the
body is to be present with the Lord as God’s children and often times just like
the apostle Paul we are often caught up in the midst of the great struggle of
deciding whether to remain on this side of God’s kingdom or give up our spirit
just to be with The only wise God who always know which is best.
Bro. Myles you have truly impacted
your world, you have lived your purpose, you have helped so many others
rediscover the purpose of God’s kingdom within our human domain.
I salute your courage!
I salute your bravery! I salute your wisdom!
And most importantly I salute your humility!
Adieu Bro. Myles
Adieu God’s general
Adieu Dr Myles Munroe
Rest Well
Dr Myles and Ruth Munroe!
