A pastor has sadly died while embarking on a 40-day fasting to break the record of Jesus on the biblical Mount of Olives.
The BBC reports that the Mozambican man of God could only do twenty-five (25) days out of the targeted forty before he passed away.
According to the paper, the death of Francisco Barajah was confirmed on Wednesday, February 15, 2023.
The deceased was the pastor and founder of the Santa Trindade Evangelical Church in the Mozambique’s central province of Manica before his sad death.
Pastor Barajah was reportedly being treated at a hospital in Beira before he was pronounced dead. He had been rushed there in critical condition after 25 days of fasting.
The man of God had lost a lot of weight to the point where he could not stand up, bathe or walk, and efforts to help him regain his health failed, reports say.
His relatives and church members thought it prudent to take him to the hospital for treatment as his condition kept deteriorating.
Doctors tried their best to save pastor Barajah but the damage to his health was probably beyond redemption, so he gave up the ghost.
It is reported that people who had seen his condition before he died are the least surprised because the man of God appeared seriously ill.
To die in the Lord God is the best and most glorious thing to happen to any individual. To God be the glory.
