Livingspring Pastor Femi Emmanuel's 1st daughter dies at 27

Late Esther Emmanuel
Presiding pastor of one of the fastest growing pentecostal churches in Nigeria, pastor Femi Emmanuel of Livingspring Chapel International Church, is bereaved. He lost his first daughter, Esther Emmanuel on November 20th 2011. 

Until her death, she worked at the Murtala Mohammed Airport as a staff of Air Nigeria. The cause of her death is not very clear, but according to the story being passed around by her colleagues, Esther was on night duty on the day she died, she tripped and fell in the office during the night and when help couldn't get to her on time...she died! Esther was just 27.

The young, vibrant and kindhearted Esther, has since been buried. May her soul rest in peace...amen

    May her soul rest in peace,at such an age,my age!shows death have to respect if u are young ,it didnt think,"let me leave her alone she's till young" instead he joys in cutting short a beautiful flower which is about to start blossoming..
    I saw her pic on Fb ,we share a friend in common n all I continued doing was looking at her pic,what a loss,may our heavenly father help console families and friends and help and protect us all but most esp He should touch our lives and make us know that even if death doesn't respect us we have HOPE to live forever in HEAVEN which at the end of the day is the main reason we passed through this world/earth in the first place..give us Grace and Faith to your eternity O Lord I pray because it's worthless living this world and lossing it again up there,what would be our profit!

    It's interesting how so many people commented about Esther's good character. May her soul rest in peace and May God give her parents the strength to bear the loss. They will never bury another child in the name of Jesus.

    Having just read an earlier post on this blog about a recently married couple and the comments regarding the characters of the two, I can only say that there is a problem when the majority say is negative. Let's all strive to live honorably.

    RIP Esther.
