Beloved Honourable Nathan Waliaula Munoko

Earthly Sunrise: 20th May 1922 – Earthly Sunset: 19th December 2024

It has been 365 days since God called you home. You lifted your hands to heaven with peaceful acceptance and a gentle smile. God, your Maker, your Father, your Friend embraced you and took you home. 102 years God gave you on this earth and you lived with a grateful heart, a kind spirit and quick wit. What a wonder you were, a testimony that those who trust in the LORD shall, renew their strength, mount up on wings like eagles, walk and not be faint.

You walked with God and your spirit was never faint, in fact, by God’s hand you were ever hopeful, ever tenacious, ever loving. You were ready to do the LORD’s work even in your old age. Your faith in God was unwavering. A blessed man who delighted in the things of God. You ran your race with humility and an unquenchable fire born of the Holy spirit and we still see the light burning. The echoes of your life still ring true in the words you spoke, the things you did, and the state of your heart.

102 years were not enough for us who love you and miss you, but because you accepted God’s will, we accept it. “Wele kambolele, kimiaka kino kia nyalile” you said with a smile.

Until we meet again, we will run this race and follow Jesus Christ Whom you loved with all your heart. Always remembered, Always Cherished! We will miss you always! RIP

John 10:27-28 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
