The pastor of Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Association based in Akwa Ibom, Reverend Dr. Uma Ukpai, has revealed that he has been to heaven twice.
According to him, he protested in heaven the second time he got there but later apologised to God for questioning his command.
The cleric made this known while delivering a sermon to his congregation as seen in a viral video on social media.
He said, "I've gone to heaven twice. The last time I went, I heard a voice ask 'Uma, what are you doing? You are too early. You have 34 more years to preach.'
"I protested, and God shocked me when he asked me 'is it true that you can question my command?'
"I apologised and he asked me to return. As I returned, here was my wife crying."
He said he asked why she was crying and she replied, "The doctor said you will soon die."
Uma then told her, "I've just come out of the house of the dead and they asked me to return. Which doctor said I will soon die? He must be sick and may be his madness started from his legs."
He said he refused pleas from his wife to allow the doctor treat him because all he needed was healing sleep.
