Gospel minister Ruth Matete has resurfaced on social media after going silent for a while and after the death of her husband Pastor John Beloved.

In her message of hope, Matete says she has come to understand why God made her go through the pain

"One day I asked God why me, and He asked me who I would wish to go through it in my stead.That's when I stopped asking why me and instead asked God to show me the reason why He allowed me to face it. Because I know nothing catches Him by surprise"

Adding;

"And all things work together for good, to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. It's a few months since my late husband went to be with his maker, and I can candidly tell you, that I now understand why God allowed me to go through it. Do I still cry? Yes. But it gets better with time. I have made up my mind not to waste my pain. God must and will be glorified through my pain."

Ruth Matete's hubby died after a gas cylinder. Her hubby's Nigerian family then asked for investigations to be carried out before he was buried.

Ruth was later summoned by the DCI and was allowed to bury her hubby after several months. The two tied the knot last year in a hush hush wedding that was attended by close friends and family.

Matete is expecting their first child.
