Eastwood Anaba Clears The Air On Christian Atsu Dying Early, Says They Do Not Die

• The founder of Fountain Gate Chapel, Pastor Eastwood Anaba, has said that good people do not die early but leave the earth
• He added that the people we see as good and kind are called early by God because the living mostly do not deserve them
• He comments surfaced on social media after Ghanaian footballer and philantropist, Christian Atsu, died in an earthquake in Turkey

The founder of the Fountain Gate Chapel, Pastor Eastwood Anaba, has said that good people do not die early but are rather called by God because they are "too good" for what he described as an evil world.

The respected clergy man said in sermon that most people are naturally "dark-hearted" and do not deserve good people. And as a result, God recalls some good people from earth.

"...There are some of people we say they died, they didn't die; they left. God looked at the them; they were too good for us," he said.

He added: "...when I look at Christians, I see evil. I see too many evil people. If you know what God's light is, I'm telling you human beings are very dark. They are very dark-hearted."

It is not clear when Pastor Anaba gave the sermon, but a video of it surfaced on social media after the sudden death of Christian Atsu, a Ghanaian international footballer who was also a renowned philanthropist.

Atsu was one of over 40,000 victims of the earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on February. Since news of the footballer's death broke, many Ghanaians have shared heartfelt testimonies of how he supported them financially, paid their school fees, and even helped free them for jail.

Stories about Atsu's wide-ranging good deeds prompted some Ghanaians to question why such a good person would die at 31.
