“Live Ready, Serve God While You Are Alive” — Pastor Dan Uche Urges Christians At Nwadinobi’s Wife Funeral
Late Mrs. Ijeoma Tina Nwadinobi, 33, Buried In Umuahia; Cleric Stresses Mercy, Service And Fear Of God
UMUAHIA, Abia State – The remains of late Mrs. Ijeoma Tina Nwadinobi, wife of Hon. Enyinnaya Eric Nwadinobi, were on Saturday, August 29, 2026, committed to mother earth at the family compound, No. 4 Hon. Enyinna Ben TV Close, Off Winner’s Way, Ihie Ndume, Ibeku, Umuahia.
The funeral service was conducted by the Living Faith Church, Winners Chapel, Market Branch, 50 Lagos Street By Niger, Umuahia.
Officiating, Pastor Dan Uche charged mourners to live in readiness for eternity, stressing that opportunity for repentance ends at death.
“Every act of mercy, deliverance and repentance is all in this life. After we are gone, no more,” he said.
Delivering the sermon titled _“Live Ready” Pastor Uche said the primary purpose of life is to give God glory before seeking personal glory.
Quoting Acts 16:30-31, he told the congregation: “Sirs, what must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, repent, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
“Don’t argue with God. Don’t argue scripture,” he warned, citing King David’s census as an example of the consequences of disobedience.
The cleric listed two prerequisites for gaining paradise: pleasing God and offering service to God while alive.
“Those acts of charity, those acts of fear for God, those acts of service to God and to humanity on behalf of God… is only in our world that people can do it. It will speak for you with God,” he said.
He stressed the fear of the Lord as divine protection, referencing Bishop David Oyedepo and his household.
“The fear of the Lord has preserved him and his household for decades until now. And can I say it forever? The fear of the Lord,” he stated.
Using Joseph as an example, Pastor Uche noted that his years of suffering were little compared to the 80 years he ruled in Egypt.
“That will give you the picture of what we have in eternity. When we serve God and glorify him here. It’s your turn. The choice is yours.”
