Veteran gospel singer Esther Wahome is in mourning over the passing on of her father, EV.William Wahome Gikonyo after a long battle with cancer.
Through a heartfelt Instagram post, the gospel singer eulogised her father who died on Saturday, July, 27 as a mentor, spiritual cover and friend among many other things.
“My dad, my mentor, my spiritual cover, my prophet, my friend, my greatest fan, my cheerleader.
Today is the second day since you were transferred to heaven, and though I know you are in a better place, the pain is unbearable.
You taught me the word, you taught me to be a prayer warrior, you made me understand my kingdom mandate, you taught me music, you taught me how to proclaim and possess all that is my portion, you taught me how to pull down strongholds, you taught me how to take charge! You taught me resilience, you taught me kingdom mysteries, and you raised a kingdom giant in me!!!
You released a grace for nations upon me, and nations and kings received me,” she wrote.
The Kuna Dawa hitmaker continued to explain that her father’s battle with cancer hasn’t been easy but thanks God for being by her family’s side.
“Though we have walked a painful journey this year as you battled cancer, I never heard you complain a single time!! You said God is great and good all the time, and those were the words you uttered with your last breath
I am grateful to have spoken to you in your last minute, to have been there holding you, and to have had you pass on a mantle to me, before you crossed over. Rest in Paradise great revivalist,” she concluded.
