Nollywood actor turned pastor, Yul Edochie has shared a deeply personal story about what God told him after he lost his son, Kambi.
He revealed this via his YouTube channel.
According to him, he felt sad and confused when his son died, like he couldn’t handle the pain.
But in the middle of his grief, Yul said God spoke to him. God told him a few things that helped Yul feel better.
First, God told him that everything happens for a reason, even though it might not make sense right now. He assured the actor of his undying love for him.
Yul Edochie also revealed that God told him that even though losing his son hurts, this pain is part of a bigger journey that he is taking the movie director on.
God also told Yul that it’s okay to cry and be sad, but he shouldn’t stay stuck in that sadness.
In his words;
“I was in my room all alone in my house in Lagos. I was all alone, I was heartbroken, shattered. This happened a few days after I lost my son. I was knocked out, just in my room, down, I couldn’t understand why it happened.
God spoke to me, he said a couple of things to me. The first thing he said is that I shouldn’t think He doesn’t love me. I love you, and I have always loved you and I will always love you, but I have my reasons for letting this happen.
He said I wouldn’t understand why this is happening now, at this point in your life, but in time to come, you will understand.
Then He said again that I need the pain and he is taking me somewhere, on a journey and because of that journey I need the pain and the pain I was passing through is part of the process.
He told me to give him praise, at all times and in all situations. You don’t know why I let it happen, but trust him and give him praise.
God also said to me that it is okay to cry, but when I am done, I should get up, wipe my tears, and keep moving because I am a soldier”.
