Renowned gospeller, author, and social commentator Reno Omokri has delivered a resolute response to a recent death threat, reminding Nigerians and followers alike that life and death are ultimately determined by divine will.
Addressing an individual named Ilemuo, Omokri emphasized that human effort cannot override God’s plan and urged people to focus on living purposeful lives rather than succumbing to fear of mortality.
“Death is inevitable to all living beings and things,” Omokri wrote in a statement shared publicly. “You should not be afraid of death.
Death will come when it will come. No matter how hard you try, you cannot kill me or anyone else before the date ordained by God for me and them to die.”
His words underscore a spiritual perspective that life’s duration is divinely appointed and beyond human control, emphasizing faith in God’s timing above personal threats or danger.
Omokri further framed death not as an end, but as a stage of transformation.
He explained that life serves as preparation for immortality and that death marks a transition from the mortal existence to a spiritual one.
“In death, you move from being a mere mortal to becoming an orisa under the one God, Oritse,” he said, referencing traditional Yoruba spiritual concepts.
Omokri clarified that Oritse, meaning “Head Creator,” is also recognized as Olodumare or Eledumare, highlighting the continuity of existence beyond earthly life.
Through this lens, Omokri portrays death as a natural and inevitable passage rather than a cause for fear, reinforcing the belief that humans cannot manipulate the timing of their own mortality or that of others.
By addressing the death threat with calm yet firm conviction, he conveys the idea that faith and perspective are stronger than intimidation or threats.
The gospeller also used the occasion to remind his audience about the importance of living meaningful, purposeful lives.
“Rather than fear death, be afraid of an unfulfilled life,” he said, emphasizing that fear should not dominate one’s choices or deter one from pursuing growth, service, and fulfillment.
Omokri’s words align with his longstanding advocacy for personal development, moral responsibility, and faith-driven action in daily life.
