“Wake up in Jesus’ name” How Sammie Okposo’s wife found him asleep on a chair at around 5am

Flourish Peters, Lead Pastor of the LOGIC Church, has revealed the final moments of 51-year-old gospel musician Sammie Okposo, who died on Friday, November 26, 2022.

Sammie Okposo apparently slept into glory because his wife discovered him dozing off on a chair, according to Pastor Flourish Peters.

“On Friday, I received a troubling call around 4.45 am – a call I wish I never received. But it is what it is. It was Ozy Okposo (Sammie Okposo’s wife’s name) on the other side of the phone saying ‘Sammie, wake up in Jesus’ name’.

“So, contrary to what blogs reported, he did not slump and die. He sat on the chair watching TV, before sleeping. But never went back upstairs to sleep. From his sleep, he slept into glory.

“I went there and saw the body. I conducted CPR and hit him hard. But nobody sees Jesus and looks away. It becomes challenging when a believer crosses over to the other side.

It is deeply painful for me. I feel hurt,” Peters said shortly before his sermon on Sunday.
