THE FATE.

On Friday, April 10, 2009, the founder of Fountain Gate Chapel International, Rev. Eastwood Anaba, lost his two daughters in a ghastly accident as they en route to Bolgatanga for that year’s Good Friday service with their father.

The two ladies, Audrey, 15 and Amanda 20, died along with four other church members when the Toyota 4 Runner vehicle they were driving in burst rear tires and summersaulted.

Rev Eastwood Anaba said, in his first statement on April 11, 2009, the accident has taught him a lesson, that there are no special people on earth.

“it’s a very big blow, we cannot pretend about it, but our faith cannot be shifted during times like this, - in times like this you cannot afford to be weak because it is not in your power to give yourself grace during times like this, some grace comes from somewhere to uphold you and we have discovered the source of the grace and we are holding on to the grace. By the grace of God we are ok and the prayers of the saints have been very strong.

My son David just passed away, it spoils everything, you ask me am sad? If you had a son who died, will you be sad? You should ask yourself that question. It spoils everything, it brings a funny environment and it makes nonsense of everything. We always try to wish it further and further away but that is how it is. He said.

THE FAITH

God commands Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice. After Isaac is bound to an altar, a messenger from God stops Abraham before the sacrifice finishes, saying "now I know you fear God." Abraham looks up and sees a ram and sacrifices it instead of Isaac

Hebrews 11:17

It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God’s promises, was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, 18 even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.” 19Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death..

According to Christian methodology, enshrined in the scriptures, faith is the complete trust or confidence in someone or something yet unseen. The zillion question is, has the faith of these priest been tested?
