Dead African pastor raised to life - Part 2
Daniel Ekechukwu Back from the Dead
Daniel Ekechukwu,
pastor of the Power Chapel Evangelical Church in Onitsha, Nigeria, died from
head and chest injuries sustained in a car accident on Friday 30th. November
2001. He was medically certified dead for more than 42
hours; during this period he visited Heaven and Hell, and was raised from the dead around 5:15 pm. on Sunday, December 2nd. 2001 in the
basement of the Grace of God Mission, located in Onitsha, Nigeria. You can read the full account of this resurrection miracle here
What follows is a compilation of answers
to questions put to Daniel, and Nneka his wife, about this miracle, together
with details Daniel has shared in his many public testimonies.

Questions People Ask
The three most frequent questions are;
- What happened after he died, and does he remember anything?
- Did he see Heaven, and what was it like?
- How has this changed his walk with God?
What Happened to Daniel After He Died
Daniel was in an ambulance travelling
the 80 km. to his local hospital, he knew that he was dying, and so began to
give final instructions to his wife, Nneka, about church and personal
documents. He called her to continue caring for the church and their son.
Through her tears, Nneka rebuked him for talking of death instead of having
faith in God's power to save.
While she was speaking, Daniel saw two
large angels inside the ambulance, they were completely white, even the pupils
of their eyes. Daniel tried to talk to the angels, but one motioned for his
silence. They lifted him from his broken body, holding him under each arm of
his spirit, which was uninjured. As soon as they left the ambulance, Daniel
became oblivious of this world, and of time itself. To him the 42 hours he was
clinically dead, seemed like only 15 minutes.

Daniel Visits Heaven
The two large angels who carried his
spirit from his body passed him to another angel who took Daniel to Paradise.
Whenever a question occurred to him, the angel would supply the answer
immediately and remove any confusion from his mind.
They witnessed a throng resplendent in
white, raising their arms, worshipping and bowing in unison. Daniel thought
they were angels, but was informed that they were believers who had followed
Christ on earth. They had no racial characteristics, and were ageless, apart
from one man who seemed older, the angel told Daniel it
was Father Abraham.
Daniel longed to join the worshippers,
but the angel said they would next go to see the mansion Christ promised the
righteous. As soon as he said it, they were there. Daniel is lost for words to
describe it, except to say that it seems infinite in size, that it was made of light,
and something like glass. He couldn't see any people, but noticed beautiful
singing, the angel pointed to its source, the flowers around the mansion were
swaying and praising God. Indeed the mansion and rooms also appeared to move
continually.
The angel told Daniel, "The mansion
is ready, but the saints of God are not. Jesus is being delayed because
Christians in the church are not ready yet."
Daniel Visits Hell
The angel next escorted Daniel to Hell,
where they stood at the gate. The angel lifted his hand, and let it fall, the
gate opened, and Daniel heard the terrifying sound of people screaming and
weeping. It was too dark to see anything until light shone from the angel, then
Daniel could see people in awful suffering.
He noticed three specific groups going
through cycles of torment, forever reaping in Hell what they had sown on earth.
One group ate their own flesh and vomited it onto the ground, then the vomit
would whisk back onto their bodies, and become flesh that they would eat again.
The angel said these people were those who had eaten human flesh as an occult
practice. Ritual cannibalism is still practised in many parts of the world,
including the West.
Another group had stolen land from
others while on earth. In Hell, they repeatedly dug hard ground with their bare
hands.
A further group, were fornicators and adulterers. In Hell, their
mutilated sexual organs, which after being destroyed, would be regenerated,
only to be self-mutilated again.Those who sin sexually, sin against
their own bodies.
Sinners will be accorded perfect justice; what they have sown
on earth, they will reap eternally in Hell.
Pastor Daniel also recognized
individuals he knew. There was a former military dictator of Nigeria. He saw a
Christian who had become involved with occult practices and fallen away from
the Lord, and a pastor who had appropriated funds illicitly from his own
church, and lied about it. The former pastor could see Daniel, but not the
angel, and pleaded that he would return the money if Daniel could help him
escape Hell. But there is no escape; there is no way out of Hell if Jesus is
rejected as Lord on earth. All of the people in Hell twisted in agony under an
unseen power that gripped them repeatedly. They shouted, wailed and gnashed
their teeth.
Pastor Daniel says that if every
Christian could see what he saw, there would be no need to preach the Gospel, because
every Christian would become the Gospel.
Hell is real, God's Judgment is final, be sure that you are saved
and following the Lord Jesus Christ.
The escorting angel really shocked
Daniel by saying to him, "If your record is to be called
here, you will in no doubt be thrown into Hell." Pastor
Daniel declared, "I am a man of God! I serve Him
with all my heart!" But a Bible immediately appeared in the angel's hand,
open at Matthew 5, where Jesus warned that anyone who calls his brother a fool,
is guilty enough to go into the fire of Hell.
Pastor Daniel was convicted. He wasn't
living right before God. Indeed he'd been arguing with his wife before his
fatal trip, and spurned her attempts to reconcile on the morning he left. He'd
spoken angry words to his wife. The angel reminded him that Jesus said that God
would not forgive our sins unless we forgive others (Matt. 6:14-15). The angel
told Daniel that the prayers he uttered as he lay dying were nullified by
unforgiveness for his wife. Sobering thoughts for all of us.
How this changed his walk with God
Daniel wept at this revelation, but the
angel told him not to cry, because God was going to send him back to the Earth
'to grant the rich man's request'. This refers to Luke
16:27-30 where the rich man in torment in Hell asked for
Lazarus the beggar to rise from the dead and warn his
family of Hell. That particular man's request was refused
him because his family's hearts were too hardened. But it doesn't rule out
future people coming back from the dead warning sinners
of Hell.
The angel said Daniel's resurrection
would serve as a sign, and be the last warning for this generation.
Have you heard sinners rebuff your
evangelising with sneering comments like, 'Well, has anybody ever come
back from Hell to warn us?' I hear replies like this frequently, even
from unsaved relatives. Daniel is not the first person to report on the reality
of Hell, God has shown it to many people. Christ Himself spoke of it more than
anyone else in the Bible. It's real, it's important, it's final.
Pastor Daniel was then led to the top of
a mountain, where there was a large hole full of darkness. The angel handed
Daniel to a man standing there whom he didn't recognize,
but later realized was German evangelist Reinhard Bonnke. The angel told Daniel
that Bonnke would help him proclaim the Gospel of salvation. Daniel and
Reverend Bonnke fell into the hole, and that is when Daniel sat up from the
table where he lay at the Grace of God Mission. He was back in his body, alive after at least 42 hours of death, nearly two full days.

This experience caused Daniel to repent
of all sin he was aware of; it has transformed his walk with
God. What was wrong in his life, he immediately put right. His testimony has
the same effect on almost all who hear it. The CfaN camera crew who filmed his
testimony, could not sleep for three days until each of them brought their
lives up to God's Word. Christ wants His people holy, walking in righteousness,
and love, being merciful as He is merciful. Daniel says that just being near
people who are arguing makes him wince. Do you understand what he means
Beloved? His testimony has certainly made me more conscious of God, and careful
in my walk with Him.
Daniel has since preached to millions,
sharing his testimony at CfaN crusades around Africa.
Over 9 million souls have been saved in
six months of such crusades. Bonnke describes it as glorious ocean wave rolling
on, unstoppable despite much opposition from Muslims. Daniel has been on
Christian TV and radio around the world bringing people to genuine repentance
and faith in Christ.
God is certainly using his resurrection
to reap the final harvest before Judgment Day.
Get right with God. Warn nominal
'Christians' to repent, and tell sinners what God has done for them in Christ.
You may be the last person to point them to the only Saviour. Time is short.

Dead African pastor raised to life - Part 1
The Story of Daniel Ekechukwu
Rigor Mortis Corpse Leaves His Coffin
Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead? Acts 26:8 Holy Bible NIV
Crossing Death's Path
In the morning of November 30th 2001,
Daniel Ekechukwu, the pastor of the Power Chapel Evangelical Church in Onitsha,
with his friend Kingsley Iruka took a Christmas present of a goat to his father
in a village near the town of Owerri. Daniel drove his 20-year-old Mercedes
230. On the way back home, travelling down a steep road, the Mercedes brakes
failed. Daniel could do nothing. Gathering speed the vehicle hurtled downhill
unstoppable. Its career, and Daniel's, ended as it smashed into a stone pillar.
Without a seat belt Daniel was
catapulted violently forward. His head hit the windscreen and the steering
wheel and knob punched into his body. Daniel's friend Kingsley Iruka, shocked
though not badly hurt, turned to Daniel, hoping all was well. But the sight
appalled him. Blood was pouring from Daniel's nose from a head injury, and then
he began vomiting blood from heavy internal hemorrhage.
Rescue presently came. Marvelously
Daniel held up until he was placed in the local hospital's intensive care, or
the Nigerian best equivalent of it. His wife, Nneka was sent for. She found
Daniel still alive but only just. He hung on to life to
ask her to have him taken to his family doctor's hospital in Owerri -- a very
serious mistake. It meant anything but a smooth ride of one and a half hours.
Within minutes of being lifted into the ambulance Daniel felt
himself dying. He tried to whisper his
last words and instructions to Nneka. Especially he begged her to see the work
of their church continued. He also tried to inform her about one or two church
situations she ought to be aware of, but his speech slurred, became incoherent
and stopped as he drifted into unconsciousness.
The ambulance driver pushed on however,
at full speed, warning sirens blaring. Reaching the Owerri Regional Hospital
they ran in shouting "Emergency! Emergency." Daniel's doctor,
however, was not on duty. Instead a member of the medical staff took charge and
checked Daniel's now limp form. He turned to them with a sad face. He could
only certify that Daniel was already dead.
His wife Nneka naturally was shocked. But a Bible verse
had been ringing in her mind from
Hebrews 11
Women received their dead
raised to life again.
An irrational conviction seized her.
This meant her. She would see Daniel alive and well
again. In what follows Nneka was the key figure.
Evidence of things hoped for
The text in Nneka's head made it
impossible for her to accept the plain evidence that Daniel had gone or allow
him to be buried. Her agitation dictated that something must be done. They
hurried to see Daniel's uncle, Okoronkwo Emmanuel living near the hospital and
asked if he knew where their own family doctor was. He did not know, but led
them to see his own doctor, Dr. Jossy Anuebunisa at the St. Eunice Clinic.
Daniel was taken there and seeing Nneka's determination again the doctor
checked. He could only confirm death had taken place. The time
registered was 11:30 p.m. of the day of the car accident.
The doctor then wrote out his report on
the decease of his patient and asked if they wished to have Daniel laid in the
clinic's mortuary. They declined. Instead they again moved the body to Daniel's
father in the village near Owerri and from there to the Ikeduru General
Hospital Mortuary, not far away. The resident mortician, Mr. Barlington R.
Manu, also carried out the normal checks and by then it was after midnight, one
o'clock Saturday morning.
The mortuary having no cold storage
facilities, the mortician administered the usual chemical injection and
prepared the body for embalming on the following morning. With a staff member
he laid the body out on a mortuary slab between two other dead
people. Everyone then retired for the night.
Faith: The Turning Point
Meanwhile Daniel's wife convinced her husband would live again, wanted his body taken to the church in Onitsha where Reinhard Bonnke was to speak at a
dedication ceremony of the Grace of God Ministries. Daniel's father, however,
was a Mormon and declared he would decide. He said he would go and "hit
him with the Bible seven times", and if Daniel did not rise, then Nneka
must accept the fact that he was not going to rise from the dead,
and that must close the matter. He did go and struck the corpse as he said
seven times, with no result whatever.
Nneka, being a Christian, considered a
Mormon would not understand. His performance meant nothing except to put her
off. She would not give up. She pestered her father-in-law. Daniel must be
taken to the Bonnke meeting. Realizing that if he refused this favor, she would
remember all her life he had denied her request on behalf of her husband.
Eventually he relented.
On the next day, Sunday, December 2,
they went to take the body from the mortuary. But the mortician was worried
about their intentions. To hide the fact that a body was being taken away as it
was, with a one and half hours drive to Onitsha, as a pretext he dressed the
body as for the funeral, placed it in a coffin and shut the lid. They took
Daniel in his coffin and set off.
Arriving at the Onitsha church compound,
the State security officer and the ushers saw them entering with a coffin and
ordered them to turn round and leave immediately. Nneka however was determined.
She pleaded and persisted not only for the coffin to be allowed in the church
compound but brought into the church itself.
Seeing her agitation, the State
security office checked that the coffin did contain a body and was not a
terrorist trick to plant a bomb. Finding only a pallid corpse he allowed them
to proceed. However the idea of bringing a coffin or a dead
body into a crowded church brought consternation and upheaval. Finally the
Head
Bishop's son Pastor Paul Jr. sought his father's permission to get the body
into the building, but it would have to be only into the children's department.
The children were ushered into the lower hall, and the corpse brought in the
upper room and laid out on a table. The Bishop's son, Paul, and another pastor
on the church staff, Bathcomery Nkwando, attended to this and found rigor
mortis had stiffened the limbs.
Life Returns!
Two other staff pastors, Lawrence Onyeka
and Luke Ibekwe joined them to guard the body. Meanwhile Reinhard
Bonnke knew nothing of this and was preaching and praying upstairs in
the main auditorium. After a while the pastors noticed a slight twitching of
the stomach of the corpse.
Then the corpse drew a breath, and
presently irregular breathing took place in "short bursts" as they
reported. Encouraged, the pastors threw themselves into powerful petitionary
prayer, stripped the body of the mortuary gloves, socks and shirt and began
massage from head to foot, Daniel being as said "as stiff as an iron
rod". They asked for fans to be brought in to give Daniel more air to
breathe. As this news broke out in the sanctuary above it created hysterical
pandemonium. Then, said Pastor Lawrence, at 5:15 on the Sunday afternoon,
nearly two days after death had taken place, Daniel opened his eyes,
sat up and leaned on Pastor Lawrence.
People began crowding into the hall to
see this resurrection man. Pastor Lawrence was worried
Daniel would not have enough oxygen, so he lifted and carried him into the
church sanctuary. Daniel spoke for the first time "Water. Water."
They gave him sips and then warm tea. To give him a clear space they seated him
on a chair on the platform, where hundreds of people saw him slowly recovering.
He had not yet collected his thoughts and for a while could not recognize
anyone, not even his own son who came up to see his dad. However, he
progressed, and within only hours, during the evening, he had full
consciousness and coherence.
He became a wonder, and crowds besieged
his home, so he was taken away to a secret location for two days of physical
re-strengthening. The once-dead man
not only rose from his coffin, but the serious injuries, which had brought
about his death, were also healed without the slightest trace.
Reinhard Bonnke meanwhile
had left the immediate scene to board a planned plane flight. Any doubts? Here
are some hard facts that won't go away. For two days Daniel did not breathe,
his heart had stopped beating. It was in a hot climate, not suspended animation
in an ice chamber. He had been injected with a harsh chemical to keep back
mortification. As a corpse he was carted around for hours, pulled about, and
lay in an airless narrow coffin for hours. He should have had severe brain
damage, but he is alive now without any ill effects.

| Reinhard Bonnke with Daniel |
This is no unsupported claim of bringing
someone to life privately, as in a house. Here was a public event, an open demonstration
of revival from death. If anyone has to be named, it is Nneka. Her incurable
faith alone prevented Daniel's burial simply to bring him where she was
convinced God could bring him back to life. She regarded Reinhard Bonnke as a man of God and that in the atmosphere of faith where he
ministered this miracle was possible.
The faith of Nneka dictated the whole
event and her faith was honored. By whom? Who honoured her faith? If not God,
who else?
