THE BIOGRAPHY OF A LIVING LEGEND

Some people has erroneously tagged their fate to be unfortunate and so have claimed that life being so unfair is the reason for the unproductive life they are living. in contrast, the life of a living legend Bishop Dr. Paul Nwachukwu the founding father and presiding Bishop of Grace of God int church, southeast Nigeria has cleared the air. it has shown that life being so unfair has been so fair and it’s all about you.
His pretty pickle was just all about him year 1947. July 22nd as his mother did not live to nurse her new born. it was a great misfortune for him being deprived of mother’s milk and care. the walls of his hospital of birth Iyienu General hospital ogidi, in Anambra state felt the unfriendliness of life to the new born as the news spread across its nooks and crannies. her name was SUZANNA daughter of Igweze family of ifite village Awkuzu, in Anambra state.
Another stroke of misfortune was fast-forward to 1956 when his father left him too. He was just 9yrs old and had much need of the father’s care at that time. His father was a veteran during the world war II and worked auxiliary as a nurse at same hospital were his new boy was born. although people identified him as “that auxiliary nurse that lost his wife” that was after Suzanna had passed. little Paul knowing nothing of the mother and little of the father was a good sign that life was not fair.
As though nature was fair, he was left to grow amongst his two siblings who came before him, masculine Authur and feminine Jemima. although they were little too at that time but it felt like having smaller version of Parenthood fashioned in their character. they taught him his Early learnings of how to use few words, identify numbers and Scrabble on the floor. however during one of their plays down in the Anambra River those days, he almost drawn in the river but his brother Arthur was near and some friends too. how would they have told their story and how much would have the world lost had hel drawn in that river. hence his love for them and theirs for him could not be replaceable. families are to learn from that. no man is an island of himself. the little love shared and shown could be the bond that keeps people stronger. like broom he was bonded to his two siblings and they to himself. like many others Paul was a religious young man who grew up as a lover of God in the Anglican Church and through Archbishop C.J Patterson received the sacrament of baptism of infancy at St. Andrew odoakpu Onitsha. However he was business minded and had thought nothing more than his business of fish selling. meeting at Medugri were he buys stock fishes and mangala fish from some foreign sellers of other Republic like Niger and Chad then sells down to other people in the state. he was good in business and made his first wealth those Early years through his fishing business while his great encounter with God took place.

it was Evangelist Billy Graham’s book “peace with God” which he got at a book store on the 11th of sept. 1965 that called him out to encounter God and the need for salvation and on the 24th of sept. 1967 he was opportune to give his first sermon which he titled AT THE END OF THE DAY, HOW IS IT GOING TO BE WITH YOUR SOUL IF YOU DIE? this was following a mandate given to him in a dream by a small boy he saw in that dream mandating him to read the book of Ezekiel 33:7,8 &9 that God has made him a watchman over His people. that was the beginning of his mandate which he has been on. The mandate was on the 19th of sept. 1967. Precisely many years ago.
