VICTORY CONGREGATION “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death, nor crying neither shall there be any pain; for the former things are passed away.” Rev. 21:4
P
arting comes and hearts are broken, loved ones go with words unspoken.
Sister Alberta Amponsaa Annang whose mortal remains lie before us joined the Victory Congregation from Osu North when the entire family relocated to South Fafraha near Adenta in 2002. It was during the developmental stages of the church project. As a businesswoman, she contributed financially through the various fund-raising activities especially her day born group, Monday. As a devout Christian, she made sure at least to perform her Christian obligations such as attending Church
Services, paying her tithes and attending the Holy Communion. Unfortunately, in 2015, Sister Alberta suddenly fell sick and that took her out from all church programmes and activities. Despite all the sufferings she went through, she strongly held unto her faith in Christ Jesus until the end of her life. This reminds us of a prayer written many years ago by Theodore Parker Ferris; “Teach me, O Lord, not to hold on to life too tightly. Teach me to hold it lightly, not carelessly, but light, easily. Teach me to take it as a gift, to enjoy, cherish while I have it and let it go gracefully and thankfully when the time comes. The gift is great, but the Giver is greater still. Thou, O God art the Giver and in thee is the life that never dies”. To her beloved and cherished children and family, Victory Congregation says look to God for strength and have faith that He will give you the love and comfort you at this bereavement period. Finally, we will wait patiently for that blessed day when we all will meet again together to stay, to reign in paradise our eternal home with our Heavenly Father in His glorious throne. Fare thee well! Rest In Perfect Peace. Amen!
