“God wanted to teach me a lesson” J Blessing’s recounts last memories of his months-old son

Veteran gospel producer, J Blessing narrates the last days of his baby boy with ex, Chantelle, 4 years ago.

The little baby boy, Kyle was just 6 months old when he passed on. The couple eventually parted ways but memories of their son remain glued to their minds like it was just yesterday.

Speaking to ‘Mpasho’, the multi-talented video director narrated the trauma of losing his young one as he shared:

When he was sick, he was given an immunization injection and a few weeks later he passed on.

God’s will

However, he strongly believed this was God’s time to heal his son, beside human expertise, in terms of Doctors.

During that time I was going through a lot in life and I remember when doctors talked to us about his health status, I was like I’m sure God is going to heal him. I went home that night and prayed. Around 8 am I told God please heal my son, you’ve always been in my life but behind the scenes, whereby things happen but I can really confirm if it’s you. Because people talk of God doing miracles in their lives and this was the time I wanted to see him doing something visible.

Unfortunately, that was not God’s will.

Five minutes after the prayer, I got a call from the hospital that my son had passed way.

Interventions

Jibril Blessing recalls his efforts and his mum’s, trying by all means to get a cure for their young one, all in vain.

During that period two weeks periods when my son was sick. My mum and I were so desperate for our son’s healing. We felt like God wasn’t hearing our prayers so we decided to use people as mediators between us and God. Even some of our friends told us to get money (for tithe) and take the child to ‘prayer warriors’ for prayers. A lot happened and we were so desperate for healing.

Hardly did he know that this was a way of God asking the gospel producer to change his ways especially towards fellow humans.

And to date, every time he recalls losing his Kyle to death, it is not as remorseful because deep within, God’s will was fulfilled.

I was very proud and arrogant at that time. I remember I called every single person that I knew I had wronged. That’s when I got a message that God wanted to teach me a lesson. Kyle was a message of reconciliation if someone tells me I lost my son, I don’t feel like I lost him because right now I’m full of reconciliation. It affected me so much because I love kids. I was brought up alone and went through a lot.

Chantelle

His ex-baby mama, Chantelle’s last message to their dear son read:

I will really really miss you my love, you will always be my son, my first born, my everything my will was to have you for a 100 years but you are an angel that God really wanted, I am blessed to have had you for all those months you taught me a lot, I will always celebrate you my munchkin. I know you”re smiling from above, I love you my son.
