In the sermon, titled: “Avoiding the second death”,  the  cleric stressed the importance of living a righteous life, adding that ‘second death’ connotes eternal death.
  
“Anything we are doing both knowingly or unknowingly we are going to give an account to God, who doesn’t take bribes,” he added. The reading at the graveside at memorial garden, Redemption camp said: “Man that is born of a woman has but a short time to live and is full of misery, he comes up and is cut down like a flower, he flees as if it were a shadow, and never continues in one stay.
  
“In the midst of life we are death, of whom may we seek for succor, but you O Lord. Yet o Lord God, most holy, o lord most Might, O holy and most merciful saviour, delivers us not into the bitter pains of eternal death.
  
“You know, the secret of our hearts; close not your merciful ears to our prayers but spare us, Lord most Holy, O God most mighty, O holy and merciful savior, you, most worthy judge eternal, suffer not at our last hour, for any pains of death, to fall from you.”
