Report Say's Man Dead For Days, Comes Back To Life

Bush Country "Heads Up" Email Newsletter | 11/12/2002 | Bush Country Staff

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

 Please Note: The Bush Country staff discussed at great lengths about including our first article in our newsletter.  We want to be up front in saying we are in no way posting it because we believe the article to be true. On the contrary, we believe it pretty far fetched.  On the flip site however the events in the story by all accounts, seems to be the truth.  Several legitimate websites have the story on their websites, including CBN.  The question seems to be whether the individual was actually dead.

If anything, we thought the question  "Did Mr. Ekechukwu actually Die"? would bring up some very interesting discussions on both sides of the issue.  Send it to your email list and see what they think.  Print it off and discuss around the water cooler at work.  Is it a bunch of garbage, or true?  Only God knows for sure. Either way, it makes for some good conversation and that is exactly why Bush Country decided to include it in this weeks newsletter.

1. Report Say's Man Dead For Days, Comes Back To Life
The dramatic documentary of a modern-day "Lazarus" has been released by international evangelist Reinhard Bonnke. The German preacher who has led evanagelistic rallies in Africa for 30 years says that the remarkable resurrection of Daniel Ekechukwu is so well-documented that no one can be unaffected by the report.

Bonnke's Christ for All Nations ministry has released a 45-minute video of Ekechukwu's testimony, and also reported at its Web site how the Nigerian pastor had been certified dead and injected with embalming fluids before reviving three days later at a Bonnke meeting.

Ekechukwu's wife was so sure that God would bring her husband back to life after he was fatally injured in an auto accident that she persuaded the local mortuary to allow her to take his body to the church where Bonnke was preaching. There pastors lifted stiff Ekechukwu from the coffin in which he had been laid, and were amazed when the man started to breathe again as they prayed for him.

The video includes footage of Ekechukwu beginning to stir, and later returning to the mortuary where his body had been laid out. The "Raised from the Dead" report features interviews with one of the doctors who certified Ekechukwu dead, and the mortician. "It's shocking," one of them tells the video team. "Seeing a dead man, someone that was once dead and is now alive...it is very shocking.

To God all glory should go." Nneka Ekechukwu says that when her husband was pronounced dead after last November's accident, she remembered promises God had given her that she would not suffer any more misfortune. "I said: 'This can't happen. I must do something, to prove God again.'" On the third day after the accident, Ekechukwu's body was taken in its coffin to a church in Ontisha, where Bonnke was preaching at a service.

The body was taken out of its coffin and put on a table in the church's conference center, where several pastors began to pray. Senior pastor Pat Nwachkuw Sr. explained that when members of the church learned about Ekechwuku's resurrection, a woman who had been on crutches threw them away and started running, and her husband ran to the church altar to ask God to forgive him his sins.

Ekechukwu says when he was being taken to the hospital in the ambulance, he was visited by two angels and taken to heaven. There he saw a "multitude" of people dressed in white who were singing and praising God. The angel told him that he had "another chance" to go back to warn those still alive had been "granted to this generation." Ekechukwu said that he had been told he could return to the living to give "a last warning to this generation."

Was it Lautenburg?

I thought at first they were talking about Fritz Mondale, but he only stayed alive for 5 days.

This man was supposed to speak nearby, but had visa problems and couldn't make it.

He's raised from the dead and yet has problems with his visa? Is God unable to fix a minor problem like a visa challenge?

This whole story sounds very fishy to me.

The work of Reinhard Bonnke has been tested for decades.

Raised From The Dead by Reinhard Bonnke...Oh Really?

[Havoc]

Bump for later response. The guy needs to get an argument and find facts to go with it. Bonnke if legit is just doing
God's bidding.

[Delbert]

Im not dead, I think I'll go for a walk.

Indeed it has.

Reinhard Bonnke Fraud

bttt

Know someone very, very close to me who went to this place called Heaven, and it was like this man has reported. Though couldn't prove this at all, I have it on great authority that this Heaven is a lot closer than we could imagine...

Matthew 5:3
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

[ncpastor]

Actually, technically it wasn't a resurrection but rather a rescucitation. Same goes for Lazarus.

[One_who_hopes_to_know]

Indeed it has.

Ahh yes ..... now you have revealed yourself, by deonouncing Reinhard Bonnke with material from www.secularhumanism.org

I Cor 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

I certainly have no further need to correspond with you. Good day
